Complete Happiness
Thing have been busy over here at the Winfield household. Chris has been traveling a lot, Charlie just turned 3 yesterday, and most importantly, we are preparing for an addition to the family!
You guessed it! We are having a baby! I have to say that Charlie knew before any of us. As soon as I [...]

Cryptic
It’s been a rough summer. Our new little family had a tragedy.
It’s bizarre to go from being ridiculously happy to completely devastated, but our little family of me, my husband, and our dog are closer for it.
I feel better every day although my hormones are completely out of whack and if I have even an [...]

NV on Bridezillas – Awkward Product Placement
My husband occasionally is away for the evening for work/networking/etc. About once a month Charlie and I have one of “our nights”. Usually I go to the gym, come back, and watch a marathon of TV shows that I’ve DRV’d that Chris would never in a million years watch with me. My lineup consists of [...]

PSA: Clean the ice off your cars!!!!
So I was driving home tonight and out of nowhere a huge sheet of ice from the car in front of me goes flying through the air and slams into my windshield. People, please clean the ice off your cars before you go driving on the expressway at 80 miles an hour.
I lucked out and [...]

Pretty Everyday Plates
We got so much beautiful china for our wedding but we don’t use it regularly yet. I dunno, maybe after we get a dining room set or something to put it in I will feel more comfortable unpacking it. In the meantime, I think these everyday plates from Dillard’s are gorgeous. Simple white, go with [...]

What you’re missing if you don’t give football a chance.
I am an avid football fan. GOOOOOOO GIANTS!!!! C’mon guys – please win!!! Tiki, you’re annoying. And I used to love you. I learned to count on you popping out of the other side of a pile of guys, ball in hand, zooming through to the end zone. Zip the lip. You’re looking less classy [...]

Strange things afoot at the supermarket
The other day I went to my local supermarket after work to pick up some provisions for dinner. As I was standing on line at the checkout I glanced up at the wall next to where the employees punch their time cards. On it there was a notice to all employees that at the last [...]

Choosing a Town to Live In
I’ve been away from this blog for a little while but as you can see I am back. There are big things afoot over here and those thank you cards are finally o-u-t!
We’ve been house hunting up in New Paltz, NY. I just love it there. We had some pretty rigid requirements when trying to [...]

L is for Lovely – J Crew Fall
I think I might be partial to clothing whose name starts with the letter “L”. My wedding dress’s name was “Liliana“, and the dress above is “Lia” from the J Crew fall collection. I am loving their new stuff right now. The photography is so vibrant and refreshing it makes me want everything and to [...]

Weekend with Bella
We had our niece Bella with us this weekend and took her to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. Those tickets are so hot I had to get them on stub hub for almost double their face value! This was our first experience taking care of a little kid overnight on our own. I think we [...]

Acting for a Cause
When I was 20 years old I got a credit card. I wound up pretty quickly in a bit of a hole and after I paid it off about 2 years later I never had another credit card. I just didn’t want to deal with it. I’ve been paying cash for just about everything since [...]

Oh, it’s such a perfect day; I’m glad I spent it with you…
I had a bet with my husband that I lost. I am not that good at winning bets from him, but I give it my all every time. I think over the years I probably owe him about a million dollars with all the bets I’ve lost to him. So when it’s really important now [...]

Digg for Women – Sk*rt
One of my favorite blogs is Design Mom. I am not a mom (yet), but I love her take on things. She makes it seem easy, or at least worth it, to make an effort to do things sweetly and with style.
So when she announced that she was launching the new site Sk*rt I immediately [...]

Funny things around the office
My coworker got a free large coffee today as part of a promotion. This coworker hardly drinks coffee and if they do, it’s a small. Well, said coworker is buzzing around here like a busy bee. Typing speed is way up. Talking is a bit louder than usual. Enthusiasm through the roof. I know the [...]

We are wrapping up all the final things to do for the wedding. Remaining tasks are:
Send out Thank You cards. All of our guests were so generous and made us feel so special trekking out in the aftermath of the “Blizzard of the year”. I’ve had a hard time picking a thank you, but I [...]

Should I have a goal?
Hmmm – is this already a blog that I have to write in as a chore or is it fun for me? I don’t know yet. I like writing here, but I don’t know what I should write….isn’t that the biggest problem usually? I visually love me right now. Sitting on my couch with my [...]

Summer Dreamin’ – The Mount – Edith Wharton’s Estate and Gardens
I am visualizing a getaway for my husband and I where we take a drive up to the Berkshires (I’ve never been), and spend the day at The Mount. (Chris if you’re reading, this would make a lovely surprise…) Edith Wharton’s Estate and Gardens. I am fascinated with the pictures. They are just so beautiful.
After [...]

Friday Nights at Grandmas
This is one of my favorite pictures from our wedding. Me and my Grandma. The expression on her face is so sweet.
It reminds me of all the times when I used to sleep over her house as a little girl and watch Dallas and Falcon Crest with her on Friday nights. After our shows we [...]

Did you ever see the movie “Muppets Take Manhattan”?
Did you ever see the movie Muppets Take Manhattan? In it there is a song that baby Miss Piggy sings about all the stuff that she’s going to accomplish. The song is “I’m Gonna Always Love You”. Here is the video:
The verse that always sticks with me is:
“Gonna climb the Matterhorn
But only after all our [...]
