Karen, the author of the blog The Art of Doing Stuff, is HILARIOUS. Just read the first paragraph of her About Me section:
My name is Karen and I’m a television host. In Canada. Which means in terms of notoriety and wealth, I’m somewhere on par with the manager of a Sunset Tan in Wisconsin.
She is not only funny as all get out, she is smart! Completely self-taught, she does everything from hang drywall, rewire electricity, bring dead hydrangeas back to life, and makes a killer black bean soup....and she shares this wealth of experience with her lucky readers. Oh, and did I mention her house is GORGEOUS?!!

Go read The Art of Having Your House Photographed for a Magazine for her hysterical reenactment of the photo shoot events.
Photos of her home made their rounds in the blogosphere and lured me to her site, but her wisdom, ability and impeccable delivery have kept me coming back.
"You weren’t going to get a post today because I nearly died this weekend. Death by sparkle."
She has the best tips! (Not that we get frozen dirt in South Florida, but still)
#1 If your outdoor planters are too frozen to insert your greenery, pour boiling water on them to thaw the dirt.
"A glass cutting board is … well … you really shouldn’t own a glass cutting board. They dull your knives and the sound of cutting on them is horrible. Throw it out."
Love this blog, and you will too. Please go check it out!
Baylor's belly has been hurting quite often these days...maybe it's because I made the mistake of giving him "Diet Coke" awhile back when he didn't feel good. Don't worry, I give him Sprite Zero, he just calls everything diet coke. When I was little, my Mom says my belly hurt a lot too. My drink of choice was Pepto Bismol. And then I got salmonella and had cried wolf so often that I was not believed. Oh dear, what to do what to do.
She sounds funny, I'm gonna check her out! Her house is pretty. I didn't know you got salmonella?? Im still laughing over you saying "bed in a bag...yarg" yesterday! I love you!
