Best "Nest"ern!!

By
Fly on over.....I'll leave the light on for ya! My obsession with the backyard bird house, feeder, watching continues! I have converted the FlyThru to the Best "Nest"ern! That's right. I have a full on birdfeeder next to this tree so my feathered friends can still do a "FlyThru" ........more like a "Dive-in" really, but....you get it. They are not hungry. But...what about nest supplies? Where do you go if you are a suburban bird trying to find affordable housing? My soffits are NOT available. So.........enter some ribbon and string and yarn! Woopwoop!
The Best NEST-ern and the elusive RedHeaded woodpecker doing a check in.


 Why do I delight in this lil hobby? Well...Because is captures all the things I love in the small square of my windowpane!

It's free!! Pretty much. I buy a huge bag of food every 2 months or so.......but it's usually on sale and never more than $11 bucks! For hours of entertainment? Yepper!
It's beautiful!! The colors..........omg! The colors are spectacular. Take a peek.......





It's exciting!! Have you ever seen two Bluejays go at it? Mmmm,mmmm, mmmm! Better than Floyd Mayweather on HBO and waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy cheaper! And no trash talking.........but a whole lot of squawkin! Heehee!
I used to think "bird watching" was for older folks.......or for boring people.....crazy right? I had no clue!  Funny enough, right after I popped in my 1st feeder, I was on Walnut Street in Philadelphia when 3 little old black ladies stopped my husband and I. Totally random. They gave us a flyer that was for the bird society. I cannot even make this up. They told us real quick all of the joy they had found in the birdies and how they were very "high" up in their bird society. It was sooo funny because my husband looked at me like it was a total set up. They looooooved him...and he was smitten with them. He held on to that flyer and talked of how cute they were all night. Don't say anything but.....I have caught him a few times paused in front of the office window.....checking out the activity in the tree. Those ladies would be proud! heehee
So, get at it. Find a spot. Pop up a $5 feeder. See what comes your way. And when your day is even slightly gloomy.....seeing one of these beautiful creatures is sure to give it a lil brightness. And that is some real talk! Chirp chirp!

Cracked, Jacked Ottoman is now Newest Addition to the Family Room! Check her out!

By
Ok peeps....my neck and arm feel like they may be forever in pain but I think it was worth it! The family room ottoman is complete!!! Woop! Before I give you the deets......a lil background... I hate replacing things I already have! Oil changes and air filter replacements? HATE! New tires? HATE! It feels like such an investment for something you already have.....I know....gotta do it but I hate it! So after 7 years my beloved (and expensive) leather topped ottoman had started to peel. Yup. Nasty! I ignored this for a few months. Even pushed her into the corner for my annual Christmas Eve party. (Nobody puts baby in the corner!!!!) Then as it started to really bother me I started looking for a new table. Problem was.....I really like the one I have! Of course I find one that is out of this world fabulous! This baby here can be yours for $1600. Even if I hit the lottery I wouldn't pay $1600 for a coffee table. (OK, let's be serious....if I hit the lottery that scrumptious...

Experience is your best Teacher!

By
Every time my kids do something that raises my eyebrows or that I know is a mistake my husband will always say, "Experience will be their best teacher!" As much as I hate to agree with him, he is right. I started thinking a lot about this saying and decided to shift some of my own habits. If experience is your best teacher, well......I needed to focus on creating more of them. Now more than ever I realize the importance of spending time and doing things not just having things. This is a difficult task for me, I mean, I still count the number of gifts under the Christmas tree to make sure there is even distribution. Ha! But really, shirts shrink, and flowers fade....but the memories of a great experience last forever! Imagine my delight when I was given an Appetizing Adventure, Experience Day as a gift from my fantastic work team. It was like the universe talking to me. Oh boy! You can grab a gift for someone, like yourself here! So on the rainiest day ever (ok, maybe ...
