november book shelf ~

This week is my monthly book group meeting, and I thought to share a few things that are on my November book shelf. Though the bluwaterread posts aren’t usually the most widely viewed posts on the blog, my bookie friends enjoy them and reading is an important part of my “life enjoyed” ~ so I’m going to share them here each month after our… Read More

Modern Mix ~ Eddie Ross

Modern Mix ~ Eddie Ross

Farmhouse? Vintage industrial? Urban minimalist? Classic traditional? Sophisticated glamour? So many home decor styles today, and it gets pretty confusing ~ especially if you like a lot of different styles and are an avid collector of “stuff”. Yep, that’s me! So the minute I opened the cover of MODERN MIX by Eddie Ross, I was hooked! When is the last time… Read More

PIRATE HUNTERS ~

PIRATE HUNTERS ~

It’s been a busy and exhausting week around here ~ just 10 days since this happened.  A week of insurance adjusters, contractors, driving back and forth ~ oh, and the regular work and life stuff, too. 🙂 Even though there’s been no time for projects or cooking or trip planning this week, there’s always a little time for escaping with… Read More

Tiki Drinks ~ tropical cocktails

Tiki Drinks ~ tropical cocktails

How do you motivate yourself to push through a rough patch or to complete a tough project? Little treats along the way, and a promised reward at the end help me over the hump. 🙂 I’m in the middle of a big room re-do at home, and it’s consuming MASSIVE amounts of time and energy. As an “attagirlandkeepgoing” diversion, I added a new… Read More

southern pantry cookbook ~

I swear it’s a conspiracy. When I’m too busy to replenish, refill or repair the small things at home, it seems everything starts running out, burning out and breaking down all at once. So after the holidays, I spend the first weeks of January getting things back to even. I found a bluwaterread ~ The Southern Pantry Cookbook ~ to… Read More

Hemingway House ~ #flkeys

Hemingway House ~ #flkeys

Welcome to the Hemingway House in Key West ~ this week’s stop on our Florida Keys road trip series 🙂 . Originally built in 1851, the house was in disrepair when Ernest & Pauline Hemingway bought it at a tax auction in 1931 and began a major restoration all through the early 1930’s. The house was their home until 1939… Read More

your own magazine ~ your blog reader!

Magazines, blogs, print books, e-books ~ I read’em all 🙂 . Enjoying a Saturday at home today is a great time to catch up on what I’ve missed, while catching my team’s game on TV. After all, it is college football season! I use a blog reader to easily keep up with my favorite online content ~ it’s like creating… Read More

reading escapes ~

We all need escapes. Big ones, like bluwatergetaway vacations ~ or small ones, like a walk, a nap, a friendly visit, or a favorite novel :-). Four books have taken me away recently, and here’s a look at how these reading escapes have been an important part of my month. These aren’t intended as “in-depth reviews”, but more about how… Read More
