A Knight to Remember | On Thursday’s I post from the vault. This post is from December 2009.

September 10, 2020

On Thursday's I post from the vault. This post is from December 2009. So, about Medieval Times. It was an epic birthday for Jafta. The entire time we were there I kept thinking about the part in The Cable Guy when they go to Medieval Times. I think Jafta's excitement made Jim Carrey's enthusiasm look like mere indifference.

It’s decorative guord season! Easy fall decorating with a subscription box . . .

September 4, 2020

This post is sponsored by Decocrated I’ve been getting Decocrated boxes for over a year now. If you aren’t familiar, Decocrated is a subscription box company that sends seasonal decor to your home. It’s so ideal for someone like myself who wants to decorate for the seasons but gets overwhelmed with where to start. Prior to subscribing, I felt like I could only manage Christmas. But Decocrated has upped my game, and I just got the fall box and set things out, along with some of my own pieces . . .
