Hey! It’s okay to like yourself…a little.

On May 8, 2026 By Em D In Life and Family, Where Bloggers Live

Here’s a short post: What do I like about me? I’m breathing. The end. That’s it. That’s the post. I’m not very comfortable discussing what I like about myself.(Said the woman who writes a blog …

Dual-purpose guest room ideas in real life

On April 23, 2026 By Em D In Interior Projects, Other

If you could design the perfect guest room, what features would you want? Would a dual-purpose room be an advantage? Well, since we’re using the word “perfect,” I’d like a turndown service with a sliced …

On March 13, 2026 By Em D In Where Bloggers Live

What seems like a lifetime ago, mornings at our house were often lessons in chaos, and I was the teacher. It seemed I was rarely current with the laundry, the nights before were filled with …

Of cows, kids, waterdrops, and football.

On February 13, 2026 By Em D In Uncategorized

Leslie and Bettye have chosen a tough topic for this month’s “Where Bloggers Live” post. “If I could donate $100,000 to any charity, which one and why?” It wouldn’t be hard to find a charity …

Pausing my summer countdown (162 days) to bring you the charms of winter

On January 9, 2026 By Em D In Uncategorized, Where Bloggers Live

I love the descriptions of Western New York (aka Buffalo) Winters when they occur on the national news scene. “Mountains of snow,” “massive wall,” “snovember,” “snowpocolypse,” “blizzard,” “white-out”… I could go on and on (and …

That guy. I just don’t deserve him…

On October 10, 2025 By Em D In Life and Family, Where Bloggers Live

This is a highly secret post. If word gets out, I will NEVER (ever, ever) hear the end of it. Pinky swear before you begin reading that this stays between us! We good? (Okay, here’s …

Could I, or couldn’t I?

On September 12, 2025 By Em D In Life and Family, Where Bloggers Live

Welcome, fellow kids!

Hi! I’m Em.

Let’s hang out while I DIY (and occasionally procrastinate) my way through home decor, gardening, and home improvement projects… or share a few thoughts on the topic du jour.

The nest is empty, but I live with Mr. D & D and two-and-a-half spoiled dogs in a house filled with visiting kiddos, lots of love, occasional bickering, and a little bit of...dust and dog hair.

KNOCK KNOCK

WHO'S THERE?

Me. Occasionally.

(With a story, a DIY project, or deets on the current shiny penny that has my attention.)
