In high school, I earned mostly straight A’s. One exception was geometry. I struggled with that damn subject. Yesterday, geometry came back to haunt me. I needed to make a 4 foot square (but turned to look like a diamond) in the exact middle of a huge rectangle space. I tried and tried to get… Continue reading Inspired by Pythagoras

Inspired by Time
Yesterday I made this necklace from the face of a watch and some random clock hands. While driving home today, I decided it would make a good blog topic. The whole inspiration behind this blog is the different projects I am doing. And the inspiration behind those projects is time. As it is cliché-edly said,… Continue reading Inspired by Time
Inspired to Go Granola
Yet another inspiration to bake. I found this recipe from lifehacker. It was a simple recipe with most ingredients on hand. I did have to make a special trip to get wheatgerm and wheat flour. As I was baking, I thought the mixture looked suspiciously like oatmeal cookie dough and thought, “Well, this is no… Continue reading Inspired to Go Granola
Inspirations of Blueberries
Given the praise “The best blueberry muffins you’ve ever had” (by smitten kitchen) they are indeed the best blueberry muffins I’ve ever had. However, I am going to make them better! By the by…no, that is not a stock photo. Yes, those are MY muffinitos. And yes, those are flower pots. What made these muffins… Continue reading Inspirations of Blueberries

Because, yes, I’m going to write more entries. So, I’ll start with some of my inpirings from the last two months. Veggies I have a… Continue reading Inspirations
The long awaited Paris: Day 4
Lol…I know, I know…..I can barely remember what we did that day!!! In short, we went to the top of the Eiffel Tower. The view was amazing. The crowds….not so much. Let’s see, we waited in line over an hour just to buy our tickets, then 20 mins for the elevator up to the first… Continue reading The long awaited Paris: Day 4
Paris Day 3: Basilica de Sacre Coeur and Notre Dame
I think we got up and moving slightly earlier this day. We grabbed some quiche for breakfast and headed back to Montmartre to see Sacre Coeur. After climbing countless number of stairs to get up to the top where the church was, we rewarded ourselves with an overpriced ice cream bar :) Next, we sat… Continue reading Paris Day 3: Basilica de Sacre Coeur and Notre Dame
We’re home! (And behind on our blog posts…)
We had a GREAT last few days in Paris…saw and enjoyed some incredible sites, took tons of great photos. We’ll get them uploaded asap and I’ll finish up the last few days in Paris. In short, we saw Notre Dame, the July Column (formerly the Bastille), the Catacombs, went to the top of the Eiffel… Continue reading We’re home! (And behind on our blog posts…)
L’Opera Garnier and le Louvre
That is what we saw today. After eating some yummy breakfast/lunch of quiche lorraine and cafe au lait, we headed out to see the sights. Our feet were rested and we were rested, having slept in until late :) The opera house was amazing. It was really really fun to see, and best of all… Continue reading L’Opera Garnier and le Louvre
A self-guided tour of Paris by metro and foot…
Ow ow ow, is what I have to say. My feet are so sore from all the walking we did yesterday. You can see everything in Paris by foot, but ouch. It’s a lot of walking. Why did we walk so much? Weeellllll, we couldn’t find metro stations. We seemed to stop, look at a… Continue reading A self-guided tour of Paris by metro and foot…
