One of my favorite memories growing up was writing my letter to Santa. My mom would save the Christmas catalogs from the mail and spread them all out on our dining room table. Armed with scissors and glue, my sister and I would spend hours deliberating and then cutting out every item we wanted and pasting them in our letter. My "letters" were at minimum 10 pages long and filled with collages of barbie dolls, my little ponies, and cabbage patch kids. I felt a touch of nostalgia when I opened ... continue reading...
How to digitize old photographs
I may be late jumping on this bandwagon, but I am finally getting around to digitizing my childhood photographs. When Mr. L and I moved into our new house, two things happened: First, we got more space. Second, everyone we knew started taking advantage of our newfound space by delivering boxes of old junk and memorabilia to our house when they came to visit.

I live by a self-imposed rule that I must live within walking distance to a beach in order to have a beach theme. And I do want a beach-themed house one day, so you know what that means. #lifegoals. So while I'm not ... continue reading...
Our week in five
// ONE // I wanted to thank everyone who has taken the time to read my blog posts and for all of your kind comments about the blog. It means the world to me that someone other than myself and Mr. L are actually reading what I write (and that Mr. L's proof-reading efforts are worthwhile). I started writing this blog as a way to keep my wits about me after deciding to stay at home with the kids. When I was working as an attorney, I was on top of everything—I could whip out memos in minutes, ... continue reading...
