Thought of a new recurring blog post – I share selected New Arrivals from some of my favorite shopping spots. Today, it is ModCloth. I actually discovered the site back in the early 2000’s when it started. I’ve always loved their approachable quirkiness!

Getting your ears pierced is a rite of passage in many cultures. I vividly remember getting my own ears pierced. My mom had a rule that my sister and I had to wait until we were 16 years old. As with most older sister / younger sister situations my sister dutifully waited until she was 16 and I got to get my ears pierced when I turned 13 years old. With the caveat – no dangle earrings!! Well, my best […]

I only had two days of “on” this week – but boy oh boy they are jam packed. When did that happen? Why is that happening? Are we sliding imperceptibly toward resuming a facet of life in full? Are we pushing the envelope out of desperation? Are we better understanding how to color within the lines but in a more active way? Who knows at this point. All I do know is that I’m feeling pretty energized by this increase […]

Hi! Took a little family snowcation from life and the blog. It was a refreshing break and all the outdoor snow fun pushed me outside my quarantine comfort zone which is always invigorating! My shopping habits this year have definitely taken a turn toward the…well, convenient. What is more convenient than Prime? Nope, not kidding. I have bought some rather phenomenal clothing items from Amazon this year. And some “meh” items too. Here is a round up of the best […]

Her hair was actually not Rapunzel’s greatest asset. If the pandemic has shown me anything, I’m rather more impressed by her ability not to lose her ever-loving mind through the day after day of sameness. I, however, have neither the hair nor the patience of Rapunzel. But I am trying with my hair – I am beginning to be known as Katharine the “Baby Lion” on my Zoom calls! After some stops and starts, this is my current and, I […]

How is it Thursday?! In the New Year I decided to just throw myself out there and volunteer for things and say yes to finding purpose. But now I am maybe a smidge more (over)committed than I realized – this non-stop week is both refreshing and overwhelming. We are supposed to get snow here in Seattle over the next few days and I am super excited and equally super anxious as to how this city handles snow…we live on a […]

One of my favorite pivots by social media influencers and bloggers during the pandemic is their monthly round up of Amazon purchases. So relatable. Aside from my weekly Amazon Fresh order, I have been indulging in some Amazon retail therapy. A lot of winners, some losers. Some items I was “influenced” to buy and some I researched and bought on my own. I thought it would be fun to share my Amazon purchases – I’ll either inspire you or freak […]

There have been a lot of 3 letter W acronyms dominating our lives for the last year. A great majority of us our WFH due to guidelines from the WHO and juggling a new reality that makes us want to throw up our hands and say WTF. And despite the days running together Mondays still tend to hold a tinge of the old here we go again angst approach to the start of the week. Fear not. I have an […]

February is just January on repeat with still the soggy miasma of March ahead of us. So! Let’s find some things to bring us joy this weekend! Go outside and get fresh air they keep saying. Well, depending on where you are in the country, the weather […]
