Welcome to Veranda Beach. Do you have big plans for the summer? I’m hoping ours will involve warm temps and sunshine, both of which have been muy absent for the past week. I actually dragged …

…seasons in the sun. “Waiter, I’ll have one of those… now, please!” (a season in the sun, that is; not to be demanding or anything). This month, the “Where Bloggers Live” crew is discussing “Favorite …

Conflicted, but toasty

On January 12, 2024 By Em D In Life and Family, Where Bloggers Live

Brrr. January. Buffalo. Go ahead, make your jokes. Get it out of your system. Keep thinking those thoughts. I won’t be the one to tell you that it was 55 degrees here on Christmas Day. …

Oof! I think I’m phoning it in this year.

On December 8, 2023 By Em D In Christmas, Holidays, Where Bloggers Live

I hope you’ll forgive me, but I’m having a moment. I am SO going to regret saying this… But: Not. Feeling. It. This is likely blasphemy and when January rolls in I will reflect on …

To be opened in the event of my unexpected demise

On November 10, 2023 By Em D In Life and Family, Where Bloggers Live

Gosh, I hope I haven’t jinxed myself with that title. If I fall from the scaffolding this weekend or get hit by a bus, it’s that title’s fault. Hey, the lengths I’ll go to for …

After this post, I might need tHAIRapy

On October 13, 2023 By Em D In Life and Family, Where Bloggers Live

“Okay, first, you win for Best Blogger Hair! Don’t argue with me.”  Reading that in my comments section this past June was traumatic for me.  I am not programmed to graciously accept a compliment. Take …

You found me!

Hi, I'm Em!
Did you follow the smoke from the garden cart fire?
Yeah...that was me.

I'm all about real-world DIY...
Meaning the "D" usually stands for "do" ... but, hey, sometimes it's a "debacle" that fills the neighborhood with billowing smoke.

So, let's hang out together while I play with home decor, DIY projects, gardening and home improvement.

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.
