My Friday Five – Spring Catch Up

Happy Friday! It’s been a while since I’ve done a Friday Five post, so I thought I’d do one over some of our happenings over the last few weeks. 1 | Styling Secrets – I was invited to a Yelp Elite event at Salon Spa W in the East Village. I’ve always heard rave reviews on their

Welcome to Friday! This week was Spring Break for us. No major trips on our end this year, but we did manage to take a long weekend trip to Minneapolis, then Todd and I both had a bit of work travel this week. Carter enjoyed field trips with the school program. In fact, he’s home with

How is it Friday already? This week has flown right on by. It’s one of those weeks where I’ll gladly welcome the weekend, but I could have used an extra day. The weather has been really up and down, hitting nearly 70 degrees last Saturday, and then back to the low 30’s mid week. I’ll

Happy Friday! I was traveling part of this week for work, and I’m currently sitting in the airport on a layover, ready to get home and see my guys. My trip was delayed a bit due to weather in Chicago (where I was connecting through), but I finally made it to my destination in Cleveland.

Another week, another Friday! This week really flew by for us, kicking off with Super Bowl and ending with Valentine’s Day fun. 1 | Super Bowl of Dips – see what I did there? Dip… in a bowl… for Super Bowl. Okay, moving on! We just stayed home and watched the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Happy Friday! I’m officially in week 2 of my new job and working from home. So far so good! I’ll write a post soon on my work from home experiences. Let’s just say I’ve easily acclimated to the dress code – I went from business attire into athleisure-wear without missing a beat! Otherwise, it’s been

Happy New Year… a week late! I didn’t do many (or any) non project updates over the holidays here. I was really ready for a break and enjoyed time off from pretty much everything that wasn’t family related for the last few weeks of the year. I missed you all though, and I’m ready for all

Be the Change! New Decade (for me) New Year, New Gig!

Happy New Year! Whether 2015 was filled with more ups or downs for you personally, I hope you were able to wrap it up with people you love and welcome 2016 with optimism for a great year ahead! I’m really looking forward to 2016. This year, like the last few years, instead of making resolutions,

Best of 2015 – 3 Year Blogiversary!

Here we are again at the end of another year. It’s hard to believe Sometimes Homemade is 3 years old today! I had to cut back on both projects and writing a bit this year as things in my professional life were quite busy, plus keeping up with a now 7 year old and a
