19 years ago this day I went to the movies with a group of friends and met a guy. A guy so awesome, I came home that night and told my mom I would marry him. I was 17. 19 years ago, I begged my friend to get a picture of me with this guy,… Continue Reading 19 Years Ago Today
Christmas Eve we go to my sister’s house for dinner. It’s just immediate family – my mom and her boyfriend, my sister, and the three of us. Each year she makes a fabulous meal and this year was no exception. I wore my black merino turtleneck from Ann Taylor that I have had for eons,… Continue Reading Christmas 2011 in Photos
While Emerson and my husband nap, I thought I would take a moment to log in and wish those of you who celebrate the holiday a very merry Christmas! Last night we went to my sister’s house – she hosts Christmas Eve dinner each year and it’s always an amazing meal. This year she made… Continue Reading Merry Christmas!

Her favorite part of Christmas is all the “shine bright” and I knew seeing a light festival would blow her mind.

This current company really feels like a home away from home. As the company has grown, my office… Continue Reading My Home Away From Home

Our house was built in the 1940s; three years ago, we decided to stay put and build an addition instead of moving to a larger home. The original home was a bit over 700 square feet – the size of a basic two-bedroom apartment but on two floors. After the remodel, we are now around… Continue Reading Inside Our Home: Our Hallway
I don’t do wish lists or gift guides on Wardrobe Oxygen. First reason, I am not skilled enough to make pretty ones. You can visit other bloggers like my friend from The Art of Accessories who makes a gorgeous one each winter. Second reason, I feel that it encourages spending. I only believe one should… Continue Reading All I Want for Christmas
