Bangs-tastic: bangs or no bangs?

I have always had a love affair with bangs. My best friend in first grade, Jenny F., had bangs, and I wanted some just like hers sooooo badly. I begged and begged, and finally a couple of years later, I was allowed to have them. I had to do something...

Pints and Pints goes mobile

I was going to wait and do this as a full on “before and after” post, but I’m just so excited about this bike I got, that I had to post it immediately. About a month ago, a friend fo mine posted on my Facebook page that she saw this bike...

Style: The Romper Room

We’ve been talking about our Rumpus Room for the last couple of days (first with a tour and then with our credenza DIY), so naturally my brain jumped from “rumpus” to “rompers” … totally normal, right? Um. Right? Anyway, I love to wear rompers in the summer. They remind me of being...
