My roommates (husband and brother) are still teasing me for mixing up my own dry shampoo. It was a good plan, but it convinced me I had lice every day made my head itch like whoa. But my days of mixing up natural cleaning stuff aren’t over yet! I saw this recipe for a natural …

a match.
I found a dead cicada on the deck the other day. So naturally I brought it inside. And just after I perched it on the cake plate in the kitchen, Forrest walked in with the shell of a grasshopper he found in the garden. Perfect. <3, Liz
you are like the hurricane.
I’m worried about New York. It’s probably the least hurricane-ready city on the east coast and all of this Irene nonsense scares me. Please evacuate, people. It isn’t worth the risk of trying to stay. Fingers crossed for a sudden shift in the winds. <3, Liz
wowzah.
Earlier I wrote a crazy, ranting post. Then I took a long nap and deleted it. I was a little too exhausted and it was just a little too crazy. Instead of a crazy rant, here’s my version of our week. Last night, I decided that I wanted to hang with the boys. That is, …
wild week.
It was a big week. I started my fourth year of teaching. It seems ridiculous. I feel like I just got started and yet, the district trained me this summer to mentor first year teachers. Yep, I’m a veteran. Forrest officially left his job on Friday and began his new one Saturday morning (he’ll write …
hipsters and reading.
The Evolution of the Hipster. You’re welcome. hehe. On another note, I started reading The Help over the weekend and listening to The Secret Life of Bees in my car. I’m loving them both, but they’re both set in the south at the dawn of the Civil Rights movement and I’m getting my story lines …
growing up.
Big changes are scary. When I started college, I had an overbearing boyfriend, a super critical roommate, no idea what to do with my life, and lived in a dorm in which I was (practically) the only gal who opted out of Greek life. You can imagine how popular that made me with my neighbors. …
school days and shark week.
Over the last few summers, I’ve spent a lot of time in my classroom working on lessons, organizing the room, prepping instructional materials, etc (teachers, you know the drill). But this summer my school got a new roof (which is awesome) and it put the school on lockdown. We weren’t allowed in all summer so …
First Thursday – July
It’s the start of a new month, and that means First Thursday on Main is back! Instead of trying to tell you what is going to be there this month, I thought I’d show you what was going on last month in hopes of enticing you out to see for yourself this time around. The …
friends with tacos.
Truthfully, I’m a homebody. I would rather stay home in my fuzzy socks than go out anywhere. Maybe that’s why I like to entertain here. AND it forces me to clean up…let’s face it, I need a nudge every so often. My girlfriends came over to watch Clueless and eat tacos last night. Yeah, we …
