comment issues

I have had multiple complaints on not being able to comment on my page.  I researched it and found these directions, I am hoping this helps, sorry for the troubles!

First, try a different login procedure.
1. Login to Blogger using "http://www.blogger.com/".
2. Do not check "Remember me".

If that does not help, try a second time..
1. Clear cache, cookies, and sessions (not just cache or cookies) - then restart the browser.
2. Login to Blogger using "http://www.blogger.com/".
3. Do not check "Remember me".

Alternatively, enable (stop filtering) "third party cookies", in your browser and on your computer.  That's the best solution, overall.

I love your comments so let me know if you are still having troubles!

friday quote

I found this quote a couple of years back, it is one that I have to continually read and hopefully one day it will stick!

-The Greek Philosopher, Epicurus-

bike helmet

I recently got this bike, thank you Peggy and Bob!

 ...and although I got an adorable helmet to go with it I feel a little dorky.  I just came across this bike helmet company in Denmark, Yakkay, and I'm in love.  They just started selling to the US too!

You can change out the covers of the helmet and it becomes an accessory to your outfit.

"Don't change your helmet, just change the cover"

Home Office

I just so happen to be looking into home office ideas, take a look at what I have come across lately...

Love this one for basement office ideas!

I like that this one is all built in, it feels substantial but not
overpowering in this small space

This is more the way my job actually ends up working
so this appealed to me, I do love organized bins and
layout tables!



Anyone have an extra closet?  Make it an office!



More of an organized station but would work really well
in a kitchen.

*sorry to say these images came from my inspiration file and I can't credit anyone for their great work, my apologies but if anyone knows where they came from let me know!

bathrooms

In my spare time I like to think about how to re-do my basement, yes riveting I know.  All it really needs is some paint, it is currently a light yellow that I am not terribly fond of, but after painting the first floor of our house it might be a while.  I have thought about doing one room at a time starting in the bathroom.  As I was looking for bathroom inspiration I came across these great bathrooms, which is your favorite?

I love the mix of the classic subway tiles and claw foot tub with the sleek dark vanity

lake jane
I have always wanted a chandelier over a tub, and by always I mean within the last 3 years

houzz
Simple!

madebygirl
Surprise, surprise I love the wall color

decorpad
I am strongly thinking about a color like this for the master bath...light fresh and airy for a basement bathroom



friday

Enjoy the weekend ahead!

bunk beds

I am clearly obsessed with sleeping right now but as I was finding beds yesterday I came across these bunk beds and they reminded me of this book about a family of bears and it pictured where all the beds slept.  I stared at this page forever and loved the idea of having a little cozy alcove bed.  These reminded me of being a kid...

As the weather is getting cooler and the days become shorter it has been harder and harder for me to get out of my bed in the mornings.  Which of these beds do you wish you could crawl into right now?
