Don't wear kitten heels if you're attending the graveside service. It may seem like a good idea because they're black open toe sandal open back kitten heels and your flats just don't seem dressy enough and boots are not appropriate and your 3 inch heels are too much... but trust me it's not a good … Continue reading funeral advice from me to you…

consumer whore cami buys a toaster…
It has been at least 5 years since I've owned a toaster. If I had to guess I'd say it's been more like 13 because I can't recall having a toaster when I met Mike and I don't think he had one either. I'm guessing the last time I had a toaster was when I … Continue reading consumer whore cami buys a toaster…
to do day
I'll be honest from the very beginning and admit that this post is mostly going up so I have something else to stare at if I go to my blog. Some other piece of writing. Words different than words of mourning. So on that cheery note I present to you my to do day. We … Continue reading to do day
everything dies
Last night we got home from recording a bonus episode of the podcast and I was starving. I really needed something to eat because it was like 9:33 at night and I hadn't eaten dinner and honestly I don't quite recall if I ate lunch. So when we did get home all I could think … Continue reading everything dies
three by the sea…
This Summer vacation has been filled to the brim with NOT being on vacation. We've been swarmed with busies. Engulfed by the things to do. Inundated with important tasks... Well this weekend we said NO MORE! It's been a tough week. Mike's grandmother continues her trek to the end of things and that weighs heavily … Continue reading three by the sea…
missing you
I miss hard words coming out of my mouth. Once upon a time before I was able to spout fairy tales of rainbows and princesses riding unicorns to their coronation as queen of utopia I was the kind of girl that could cuss a blue streak. I'd make a sailor blush, or a trucker, or … Continue reading missing you
loveable silly little me…
Generally, I like myself very much. I can say that with a certain amount of pride and clarity because I recall half a lifetime ago when I was not so lucky. When I looked in the mirror and the girl that looked back, her awkward smile and icy eyes, they weren't what I wanted to … Continue reading loveable silly little me…
truth be told, sort of
Oh babies, it's time to come clean. Tell the truth. Fill you in. You deserve to know these things after all. Here it goes, are you ready? This is big... It's been really hot. There I've said it. It's been really hot and the truth is that I live in Portland, Oregon. Not California, not … Continue reading truth be told, sort of
and my kitchen floor is sparkly clean…
Recently we had the good fortune of acquiring an amazing babysitter. Violet Nuit. Now babysitters can be amazing for a variety of reasons and each family needs its own special fit. A babysitter that is perfect for us may be horrible for someone else and the other way around... But we got very lucky in … Continue reading and my kitchen floor is sparkly clean…
clothing racks and the love hate relationship
I have a love hate relationship with clothing that I used to mistake for a love hate relationship with my body. There are few things as frustrating as taking the time to go clothing shopping, being ready and willing to spend a bit of money on clothes (after all, we're not all nudists) and then … Continue reading clothing racks and the love hate relationship
