About






HI, I am Katie.  Wife, Mother, businesswoman and lover of crafts.  Follow along as I discuss careers, motherhood and everything in between.


Reading US Weekly is one of my guilty pleasures.  On the last page of the magazine, they always have 25 things you didn't know about a celebrity.  I am no celebrity, but here are 25 random facts about me!

1.  I eat ice cream out of a coffee mug - it's genius because then your hands don't get cold!
2. I love coffee
3.  I love to decorate but I don't think I am very good at it.
4.  I have no cousins
5.  I was proposed to on a bench next to public bathrooms.  YES you could see the lake as my wonderful husband likes to point out but... the bathrooms were right next to us.  That's a hilarious story for another day.
6.  I was in college the first time I ate salad
7.  Hawaii is on my list of places to visit
8.  I was in the audience of TRL (Total Request Live - a show on MTV in the 90's) AND it was Fan Appreciation Day so we were give tons of cool things.
9.  I met Carson Daley in a bar in LA.  He took his picture with us.
10.  My favorite color is pink.
11.  I am a cookies and ice cream person, not candy
12.  My best friend calls me Goob.  She has done this since 7th grade.
13.  I have never broken a bone
14.  I am hard of hearing in my right ear.
15.  My happy place is JoAnn Fabrics and Garden Factory in Rochester, NY
16.  Hydrangeas are my favorite flower.  Annabells specifically.
17.  I couldn't wear contacts after I had my first son.  It wasn't until after I had my daughter that the dryness in my eyes went away and I could wear them again.
18.  I don't like wearing socks in my house
19.  Orange juice and cheese are a great snack.
20. I can't read books with any kind of suspense or murder.
21. I am not a morning person (hence why I love coffee)
22.  I am a "glass is half full" kind of person
23.  My first job was as a donut froster at a local garden center.  It took me years to eat them again since I ate them every weekend for 2 months.  Don't worry, I am over it now! :)
24.  I love country music
25.  I fall asleep in the car for long car rides.  As in, I fall asleep pretty instantly!

Happy Nail Polish Day! - June 1

Who knew this day existed?!?!  I sure didn't and apparently this is the first year.  Essie started it, doesn't matter, I am happy to celebrate with them. I love nail polish.  I love the variety of colors and the way it completes an outfit.  I love the confidence it gives me of a polished, put together look. I never used to wear it as much as I do now. What changed was an amazing product that my Mom found as well as a cool new trick I discovered.    Now I do my nails in my sleep.  Literally! It's not rocket science but if you stop and think about it, it's actually a genius idea.  My nails dry in my sleep.  I get ready for bed, grab my magazine or book and the polish and top coat I want to use.  I read a while ago you only need about 10 minutes between coats. It is actually true.  Years ago I always thought it was longer so doing my nails literally took over an hour if not more.  Who has that amount of time? ...

WHATS UP WEDNESDAY - 3/27/24

What a month! The weather has been crazy, snow and 60's!  I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind and stick to it!  But I think we are on the upswing and getting warming.  Bring on the sun and flip flops! Let's dive in! 1. WHAT AM I LOVING?      If you know me for a while you know I don't listen or watch the news.  However, I recently found Yodel on Yahoo! It's perfect for me. It's emailed to be every morning at 8:30 with the top few headlines and a few bullets underneath to summarize what I need to know.  It's the perfect quick read!  Check it out: Yodel What else I am loving is Girl Scout cookies!  They arrived and I loved watching her organize them all and bag them with people's names.  We are off to deliver this week!  Support your Girl Scouts whenever you can! If you needed more motivation.... here is wine paring with your Girl Scout cookies! 2.  WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO Miss Curly and I did an Easter craft!...

What's Up Wednesday - 11/29/2023

In my quest to blog more frequently, I am linking up with Shay and Sheaffer on the last Wednesday of the month.  Make sure you check out their blogs as well. I have been reading both of them for years and they are 2 of my favorites.  I love reading blogs and to me it's an escape from reality.  It's like talking to a girlfriend and taking a sneak peek into their lives, closet and home.   I have always wanted to blog.  I typically wrote a post every 6 months so right now I am pretty horrible, and no one reads.  But, in 2024 my goal is consistency.  Stay tuned, maybe someday you will be saying my blog is your favorite.  That would be music to my ears! Here is what we have been up to lately. 1.  Thanksgiving  I sat on the couch at my brother and sister in laws after a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.  It came to me, if you host or cook Thanksgiving, you are truly an angel.  You welcome people into your homes, cook, entertain and ...
