I have been wanting to experiment a bit with open book shelving lately, but that means finding some fabulous and functional bookends to keep my beloved tomes from plummeting to the floor. Here are a few that I’ve come across lately… pretty, nerdy, cute and in between!
The space where I teach my childbirth education classes is absolutely gorgeous. The most stunning feature is a completely redone, exposed brick wall that spans the entire length of the room and I and just giddy to be near it. Despite the fact that it’s not a currently dished about trend, I think there’s something to be said for the classic staying power of the exposed brick wall. I don’t think it’ll ever get boring and I doubt my tastes will ever change. Delicious! Here…
I wasn’t sure how I felt about the chevron trend when it first picked up, but I’ll admit I’ve fallen for them in time (just like that time I gave in to jeggings).

It’s a great way to get a healthy start to the day — no fuss, no muss, very little mess! And on those busy rush-out-the-door mornings? Very little excuse not to pop your concoction into a travel mug and ZOOM you’re done! Here are a few yummy recipes that I’ll be adding to my recipe box (aka…
Earlier this month I did a post on How To Brew French Press Coffee, and in that post I mention pouring my coffee into a carafe when it was ready, to keep it nice and hot til my second (third, fourth & fifth) cup.
