You know that saying, A little goes a long way? That’s the theme today. Got a little paint leftover from a bigger project (say, that time your husband painted the nursery while you spent the day eating ice cream)? Or maybe you can’t bear to throw…

Today: Floral Arranging 101 (Week 1)
I recently came across Nicole’s Classes, a selection of online video classes on topics like photography and design, while headed down a spiral of late night Internet consumption, when I should have been trying to get back to sleep. Which reminds me, the next person…

Today: Last Minute Larry’s Valentine Gift Guide.
Just before Christmas, I threw together a Last Minute Larry gift guide, featuring presents found at the grocery store (and if you’re going that route, here are a few last minute Valentine’s Day deals you’ll love at Whole Foods Market). I did a bit more…

Today: My very own Pillow Pet.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] Santa may have forgotten to bring me one of the hottest toys of 2010, the Pillow Pet (as seen on TV, right before Pajama Jeans), but ain’t no thing. I already got one. Sure, he’s no Magical Unicorn, but he is cute,…
