(belated! by 3 days! but who's counting?) With last week planted firmly in my rear view, I have no intentions of wanting to rewind and relive. It was that sort of week. But! It is these kinds of weeks, in my humblest little opinion, that are the most important to hunt for "sprinkles" -and not … Continue reading High Five for Friday(ish) 04

Thrifty Dining Table Makeover
This is less of a DIY How-To Makeover Your Table, seeing as that would imply I'm somewhat of a chief expert on the subject of making over tables. (Pause, cue laugh track.) I would love to go elbows-deep in projects like this and earn my real DIY Wings someday, because it's a whole heck of … Continue reading Thrifty Dining Table Makeover
Growing Pains
"Hey Michael, go get me some milk!" a bossy 12-year-old-Robin chirped from in front of the living room television. This was not uncommon. In fact, as the middle sibling, I knew my rights to practice the skillful art of bossing that had been exercised on me for years. It was the natural order! Dutifully, Michael … Continue reading Growing Pains
Meet Kendrick
"Let's take our calm, sweet puppy into this random meadow for some photos while he's still tiny!" AK and I thought on day 7 of our newfound pet-parenthood. Immediately after being released onto the damp grass, however, Kendrick Lamar Karber became a wet bullet of fur streaking around our feet, circling the field, and … Continue reading Meet Kendrick
High Five for Friday 03
Or should I say, High Five for Getting Back On the Blogging Wagon (more accurately blogging-publishing wagon because don't think for half a happy minute my iPhone Notes don't runnith-over with potential content, always.) The concept of H54F is "Five Highlights of the Week", but since I haven't been active on the blogging ball, let's stretch the definition … Continue reading High Five for Friday 03
Antler Jewelry Tree
I enjoy target practice as much as the next red-blooded Texas girl, but the thought of actually personally hunting freaks me out down to my potentially-closet-Yankee bones. So understand I have no earthly idea, then, what compelled me to become nothing short of obsessed with real antler jewelry trees last summer. I guess my general hate of knock-offs extends … Continue reading Antler Jewelry Tree
Office Outfitting: week one edition
I unsubscribed from job alerts this week. It was the most freeing click of a button I've maybe ever experienced. Being the Robin that I am, a small (large) part of me was particularly excited by this turn of employment events because it meant dusting off my pumps and slacks from their 4 month hiatus … Continue reading Office Outfitting: week one edition
4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Few linguistic pairings catch the eye of a sugar-holic on a shoestring budget quicker than 4-Ingredient + Cookie. No sooner was I on my 249-thousandth mindless Facebook thumb-scroll of the weekend than Southern Living's 4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookie video caught my cookie-craving eye, and my apron strings were tied. "4? That's it? We'll see." My ever-the-inner-skeptic questioned. "To … Continue reading 4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Bitter blessings as of late! Mostly one. And it’s a doozy.
I've been in the funkiest of limbos having serious work done on my heart -which is/should be every day-but between you and me, this one has been a real up-and-down-roller-coaster- of a season. There's a post in the wasteland of forgotten daily sprinkles drafts titled Resolutions, with a particularly hilarious opening quip: Haha, no change. Right. Writing like I … Continue reading Bitter blessings as of late! Mostly one. And it’s a doozy.
Casual Friday 02
Somewhere around the time a tearful Kelly Clarkson belted and melted Americas' hearts through a downpour of confetti rain for the first time was about the last time I rocked a true denim flare. I haven't NOT been silently rooting for their comeback since they started popping back up on the regular the past few years! I'm just one of a … Continue reading Casual Friday 02
