My Favorite iPhone Apps
•
I have one of the original iPhones, it’s an 8 gig sweetheart that runs on the good old Edge Network. In owning it for just over a year, I have to say that I probably use 80% of the “stuff” on it. It’s just a shame that I can’t use…

A Dining Room Do-Over
•
My dining room consists of a bunch of furniture that is all 8-10 years old, with the majority of the pieces having been purchased at Goodwill. At $40-$50, the table has definitely served me well, has hosted many family dinners, and I feel like it was money well spent. The…

A Moment of Recognition
•
I got off the BART train this evening hungry, fumbling for my ticket to let me through the turn style, deep in thought. I happened to pause for a second, and glance up, looking back in the window of the train. And there, still seated on the train, head down…

Celebrating the Moments of Daily Life
•
I ran across these banners on Etsy by bird and bear, and I’m delighted by them. While we’re all used to hanging banners for the big days in our life, birthdays, anniversaries, New Years Eve, why don’t we look for those other moments to celebrate? Both the very simple acts…
