Hi! I’m Allison Gryski, a Canadian expat living in Amsterdam. I like to describe myself as a bookish artist, exuberant baker, usability snob, discerning gourmandise, and occasional freelance dragon seeker. I also like travel, thrift store bargains, bicycles, and afternoon naps. You can find my blog at: http://allison.gryski.com Making fresh pasta is something fun to…
Hi! My name is Jen and I blog over at Monkey See, Monkey Do! I love doing crafty things and especially have gotten into making things for my little boy and our new baby on the way! I like to make gifts for other friends’ kids, too, but I try and take the “Frugal” route….
I LOVE wearing casual skirts in the summer time…and, cotton jersey is sooo comfy! I’ve had my eye on the Tiered Beach Skirts from Garnet Hill. Throw on some flip-flops, maybe a shirt…maybe not, and you’re set! The older I get, the more I obsess about being “comfortable.” I used to be the gal, shopping…
Up until…oh, yesterday…I never had a fan page on Facebook. I know! Soooooo behind the times. I know lots of you became my REAL Facebook friends, but I would love for you all to be a “fan” too 🙂 It will be my fan page that I start to update the most, share ideas from…

The only thing she did know was that she had to start being smart with the money they did have. Soon after doing a little research, she…
Avoiding the Gimmies while Vacationing with Kids: It’s not only Angie & Julie’s post on Disneyland Tips & Tricks that has me thinking about vacations…it’s that we’re taking off to Disneyland, really soon! We’ve been counting down the days, like crazy, around here. We had an amazing time at Disneyland, a couple years ago. But,…
My name is Jesseca, from Sweet Treats By Jesseca! It’s great to be back at ‘Or so she say’s’ to share another fun craft! My son has recently become obsessed with letters and spelling. I’ve been trying to teach him to spell his name, but to be honest, I’m no teacher! I was having a…
I was watching America’s Test Kitchen a few weeks ago, and they were out in the street doing a brownie taste-test. They had everyone try a homemade brownie and then try a brownie made from the box. Which one did they prefer?? You would think “homemade,” but nearly everyone said the boxed brownie! I always…

Happy Sunday! Today’s slobber is dripping all over… Libby Story. I had never heard of Libby Story before, but I found several cute things and all for pretty reasonable prices. I love nautical colors, but don’t always want to look like I’m setting sail on my yacht (that I don’t have.) This shirt is the…
OGreeting from The Wright House! I just wanted to share how I recovered some salvaged chairs that I snagged from a local motel for five bucks a piece. I bought as many as I could fit in my van (besides four kids!) and raced home to get to work. Here’s a peak at how the…
