Coffee and Tea Bar

My little ones in Real Life keep me going and on my toes all day. To combat that I drink what some consider too much coffee with a side of tea. Caffeine keeps me going and while I know this is a bad habit for now it will stay. Why not bring that bad habit into Second Life as well with a nice co…

For The Birds

I was ready to head out this morning in the new Aleshia outfit from Belle Epoque (at Collaborator 88 ) when I remembered I had not feed the birds. I grabbed the feed bucket and dashed out in my new Maia Shoes from Heels hoping they wouldn't get dirty. Lucky for me the geese were by the founta…

The Masculine Bedroom

Every now and again it's nice to have a masculine bedroom. Men are simple and like to keep their rooms simple as well. At least Magnus dose. I found the Stephanie Bedroom at Infinite and fell in love. The detail on the headboard is very whimsical while the colors of the bed are very mascul…

A Float

Daydreaming

Don't we all love to daydream. I love the Lulu Window Seat from Chez Moi that is at this round of Cosmopolitan . It gives me a great vantage point to see Cubby and what he is up too. He came through the window with the birds hijacking a ride in the house. He is supposed to chase them. Now t…
