Oops! Even the best-laid plans hit a dead end sometimes.
You’ve followed a link that seems to be broken, or perhaps I got a little overzealous one day and decluttered or downsized that page to make room for something better. Either way, you aren’t lost—you’re just exploring.
Since you're here, let's get to know NOH's hot topics
Travel Tidbits
American expats and our shopping habits
As you have very likely learned in the last few weeks, we went "home" to Florida for two glorious weeks and spent Christmas over there. I will not even begin to rub it in regarding just how awesome the vacation was (because there will be more posts about that like our...
A Fun Weekend Trip to West Palm Beach
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. All opinions are 100% mine. If you have been following this blog for a while, you will know that we are huge fans of quick weekend getaways. They don't take too much time away...
Visiting Bonita Beach Dog Park
A few weeks ago, we decided to do something fun for Ayla as well as the rest of us, so we took a little drive to the Bonita Beach Dog Park. It's less than 30 minutes drive from us (in off season) and a really cool place to go spend a morning, afternoon or whole day....
Happy Wife…
Mommy’s little helper
Over the past few days I've been painting the doors inside our house and Ayla decided yesterday that she needed to help. I don't think it was really her main intention but she came in the house, leaned up against a door jam, froze in place when I told her to move,...
Get Inspired — Eleanor Mayrhofer of e.m.papers
I first "met" Eleanor about three years ago when I was approaching sponsors for the Made in Germany giveaway hosted here on NOH. I just loved her fabulous shop of wedding and other printables, e.m.papers, and it was great to have her on board during that event. A...
Fresh interior design ideas for spring 2014
If you really want to spring clean your home, you need more than a feather duster. For a fresh look worthy of the season, you need to go about decluttering and streamlining your interior design for a minimalistic and sleek result. Read our tips for achieving this...
A Well-Lived Life
Don’t forget the praise and gratitude
Over the last week or so, I have had the pleasure of receiving several emails of praise and appreciation from friends, family and strangers regarding things I'd doing here at NOH, in my organic bath & body company Newf Brand, and in other ventures as well. It is...
Give me a W! Give me an I! Give me another I!
I have just had my eyes opened to a couple new games for the Wii...and I am dying to try them out! One is Active Life Outdoor Challenge. You get a little mat for your Wii and interact all over it. The video says it better than I can... And then I found a little...
Revising our plans for 2010
The weather here is still yo-yoing between winter and spring...but I have little doubt that we will turn around twice and spring will be passing us by, with summer setting in strongly. Which makes me turn to thoughts about our garden, our hopes of growing all our own...
The Great Edit
Natural stress relief using essential oils
Stefan and I have both had a lot on our plates for the last few months...and especially the last few weeks. We were both spending long hours on huge projects for work (for those who don't know, I'm not just satisfied to write this blog and take care of Mack, the...
Getting rid of the media case chaos
When Stefan and I first started dating (a million years ago) one of the first things we bought together was the entire collection of James Bond DVD's. And we didn't even have a DVD player. You remember those days right...when only about one-quarter of the world had...
You can put your shoes in there… {William Morris}
I'm not too sure if The William Morris Project that Pancakes and French Fries began last year is going to be continuing in 2013, because she's starting a new project of self improvement and better living -- but around our house, there is still plenty of decluttering,...
