I’m very excited today because my financial aid has come through which means that I’ll be heading back to school again this October. Like last year, I’ll be taking just two classes but I learned very quickly (last year) that when you’re managing a house and working full-time, two is more than enough. The classes […]

The Four Week Hunt for a Dining Table
Mr. Vanian and I are about to make our first furniture purchase as a couple. (Yikes.) The only problem with that is we’re close to flat broke. Lol. Since I moved in with Mr. Vanian and his mother eight years ago, we’ve eaten meals whever we could take them: standing in the kitchen, on the […]

Slimline Quaddie Lunchbox
Yesterday I mentioned that I’ve been packing my lunch (or dinner, whatever you want to call it) for the last few months. I have a lunch box/bag but it’s kind of bulky and isn’t really the best design and it’s so bottom heavy that the top flap (where the handle is located) comes undone if […]

Button Embroidery
Hello. My name is Wondra and I’m a pinterest addict. As it turns out, that’s actually a good thing. No, a GREAT thing. Pinterest is pure graphic-intensive inspiration. Take, for instance, this pin which showcased DIY Spring Button Flowers from Freckled Nest: I’ve been thinking about this project for weeks. I even went out and […]

Strawberry Nachos!
OMG. So yummy! I got the idea for this, as always, from pinterest. It’s so, so simple… You just need fresh strawberries (I used raspberries as well but I wouldn’t mix the two next time). Cut them up and put them in a bowl and dust them with sugar. Don’t skip this step because you […]
