Kitchen Remodel – Loving It… But Never Again!

Well, we finally made it through, whew! The kitchen remodel is finally done and I can say without a single doubt... NEVER AGAIN! Wait, what I should say is, never will I LIVE in the house during a remodel, ever again, but, never say never, am I right? Here's where we...

Are We Loving Wallpaper? I Don’t Know!

I am undecided on wallpaper. Sometimes I love the look, sometimes I'm like "that's a lot!". Why am I even bringing this up you ask... remodel life, yes that's right, once you open that vein, it bleeds into every room. Should I add an accent wall, should I change my...

My Two Fave Women Chat About Giving Yourself Props!

Say hello to my two mentors, Mel Robbins and Marie Forleo. I received this video in my inbox from my MF subscription, and I promise you, I said out loud "holy s#it! they know each other?". Well of course they do! I mean duh... they're sistas from another motha, fa...

What’s In Your Fridge?

Mos Def Binge Worthy…

Hi, my name is Katie and I'm an addict... tv watching and streaming are my choices of mood-altering substances. I have been addicted since an early age. JP Patches and Wunda Wunda are my first tv memories... sitting 10" from the boob tube, and dad strolling through...

Hey YouTube! I think I love you…

Chillin' chillin' minding my business (🎶 Shoop by Salt & Pepa is my go-to karaoke song) and I'm surfin' YouTube. Cribs, comedy, cat videos, music, sports, fashion, how-tos, workouts, movies & shows... YT has it all! My latest obsession is Architectural Digests...

The New Uniform… Sweats!

I mean... I'm in sweatpants right now, aren't you? My uniform is black sweats, I own various brands (we'll get to that) black Ugg slippers, a screen-print or rock-band tee, and one of my many hoodies, sweatshirts or an occasional sloppy sweater. I've been known to mix...

Who’s over the whole cooking thing?

What's for dinner, UGH! Say that again and somebody's gonna die! Let me just preface this post by saying, I like to cook...but not every night! Since the pandemic started, A YEAR AGO, we have been cooking, in our crap-ass old kitchen (remodeling it this fall)......

Oh How I Miss Traveling!

Aaaa... it's been a long f'ing year, am I right? 2020 can kiss my ass buh-bye! Who's dying for a get-away? Me, me, me, me. I haven't gone this long without a trip in years. My main destination for 20+ years has been Palm Springs. I love that sweet little town, at one...
