How To Decorate: Nature-Inspired Decor
Yesterday my cat dragged in a big curly-tailed Bahamian lizard and laid it on my living room floor.

Ramblings of Motherhood
I’m sitting outside a coffee shop watching a mother strap her kid into a stroller. When the hell did I stop doing that? It felt like the stroller phase would last forever.

Two Flowers, Two Lives
via Photo Challenge: Unusual When I first had my house all to myself, one of the first things I did was buy two potted plants to liven up the walkway leading to my front door. I bought these specific flowers because I raised them at my old house, and they flourished. I’d never had a plant flourish under my hands before.

WordPress Thinks I’m Trash
Hey everybody, it’s me again. The elusive Lyz. Don’t worry, I’ll be back here full force coming soon. But in the meantime, WordPress has decided out of nowhere that I am trash and has been tossing all of my comments to you all into your spam folders. That’s according to a couple of bloggers who have checked for my missing comments. May you all please … Continue reading WordPress Thinks I’m Trash
