As of November 1st 2014, The Hand-Written Life has officially relocated to http://www.TheHWL.com! I am super excited about the switch to a self-hosted platform, and to continue to learn and grow as a blogger and as a writer. Unfortunately this means that The HWL will no longer show up in your WordPress.com readers –…
Happy Halloween, Everyone!! Normally I would stock this post full of pictures of our carved pumpkins and our costumes…but our pumpkins are still sitting outside our garage waiting for us to make them spooktacular, and I guess we’re just dressing up as ourselves this year! To be fair, we’ll just end up curled up…
I am so so SO excited, because on November 4th, one of mine and Captain America’s favorite television shows is returning for a second season! We discovered it by accident last year, while browsing the OnDemand menu, looking for something good to watch. I’m always a sucker for anything in the mystery or…
Last week I shared a fun post with you all, giving you a little glimpse of my love for decorating and some of my favorite Halloween Scenes that are currently adorning our house for the month of October. While I didn’t *quite* manage to make the house as spooktacular as I have…
For those of you who don’t already know – I’m a pretty big fan of Vitamin String Quartet. We had their music playing to greet the guests as they arrived at our wedding, and playing during the cocktail hour after the ceremony while the we posed for the formal pictures. I even walked down…
Don’t forget! In just a few short weeks, The Hand-Written Life will go from being a Wordpress-hosted blog, to a Self-Hosted website at http://www.TheHWL.com!
I’ll be doing one of these “reminder” posts every Friday for the rest of the month, to make sure that everyone gets notified of the switch – and has time to start following the new site so that you won’t miss a beat when one day we’re here…and the next day we’re gone!
The Holiday Season always brings out the Martha Stewart in me. Even though I don’t actually participate in most Halloween activities – except eating candy…of course! – I still love to pull out the plastic tubs of decorations and create Halloween Magic around the house. When we were first married last year, I…
It was an equally lazy and productive day today in our household – so lazy and productive that I’m only just now getting around to this week’s Sunday Songbird. But getting around to all of the items on your list on your own procrastinated timeline (with lots of vegging with your feet up in…
I’m sure I’ve told you this before, but when I started this blog in 2012, I didn’t have any specific direction in mind except forward. I wasn’t even really sure about where or how to start. So I mostly just followed my intuition – and did a lot of googling a long the…
So I’m not normally big on writing posts about things that I don’t like, although there are a fair bit of things in life that I really really don’t like. In general though, I do my complaining about things when they happen, on the spot, (usually to Captain America, poor guy), rather than save…
