This month's color of 6 on 6, created by Scruffy Little Nerd Herder, is Gold. I went on a hunt finding gold in my house today - and I paid attention to … [Read more...]
Funko Friday – Show & Tell
Huzzah, it's Friday! Yesterday was so crazy that I'm just ready for the weekend. Had a huge nail in one of my car's tires and was supposed to be going to Legoland with my son for his friend's birthday.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone + Savory Pumpkin Pasties
As much as I tried to read slowly, I flew right through Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It was just so light and so good that I couldn't stop.

Halloween Recap
I always feel little sad when Halloween is over. To me, I always feel like there's magic in the air around Halloween - and just for Fall in general. We had a great Halloween and this was the first year my son made it the whole night on his on. I didn't have to carry him, put him in a wagon, nothing. … [Read more...]

Happy Thursday! Linking up with Kimi and Heather again to share all that I'm loving this week. So let's start with the obvious: Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. I just, I have no words.

Back to the Future 2015 vs Actual 2015
Great Scott! It's October 21, 2015 - the day Doc and Marty McFly (and Jennifer) travel to the future! Are there flying cars? Hoverboards? Sadly no, but today I'm comparing Back to the Future 2015 vs Actual 2015 to see just what they got awesomely wrong, or strangely right. Flying … [Read more...]
DIY R2D2 Painted Shoes Tutorial
I'm so excited to share this with y'all today. I've really wanted some nerdy shoes as of late. I've been hoping to get some of the adorable Vans Star Wars themed ones, but they run a rather hefty price tag. I've seen some gorgeous painted Toms (I even have a pair) and have scoured Etsy staring at … [Read more...]
