Ramblings from The Tub Lady

As my boys grew older I embraced it, and loved every bit of it. With our girls not so much, they girls are 12 and almost 11. Maybe it's because they the last two or because we share our time with them with their mom. Either way I just hate they are getting older, I have to remind myself they aren't little girls anymore. They have become young ladies, sweet, kind and loving young ladies. My husband wants to split them up, but I just can't bring myself to do it yet... someday but not yet. I have given into...

Last week my darling so spilled water on the dinning room table. While he rushed to save the laptop on the table, he then 'cleaned' up the rest of mess and moved on.

So if I can't be outside, I can at very least PLAN what I am doing this weekend right? I...

First things first. You might be wondering the heck a vignette is anyway? I’m going to be real with you guys here. I didn’t know what vignette meant until I read this blog post. True story. I mean, who even says vignette? I sure as heck don’t, but I guess I’m not that sophisticated. Anyway, it’s just a fancy way of describing a small grouping of decor, that you might see on a coffee table or shelf. Maybe even at the center of your dining table. The basic idea is to round up a handful of items and style them together in a...
