I love this hot cocoa and mug gift idea that I am using this season. The idea was actually inspired by these cute mugs. I found them for less than a $1.00 at Walmart. If we are talking true numbers….. they set me back .88. At that price, I picked up a few to gift to…
When my hubby and I first got together we made a deal, he cooks, I clean. Some 19 years later…… he cooks and I’m still cleaning. I would say that the deal is working out nicely. And truth be told, I do like to bake…and eat what I bake. If you are looking for more then a good…
I don’t know about you, but I always find that I need to fill the seasonal decor transition between Christmas and Spring with something….anything. It would actually depress me to take the Christmas stuff down and have nothing around to look at. As if these cold temperatures aren’t depressing enough. So I thought I would…

I am all for fun and when I saw this announcement for a ‘Hey Girl Valentine Party’ the other day here I thought I am game for a few laughs, why not. You may have seen this image floating around, if not “Hey Girl” was birthed to pay homage to our sweet significant others in…
There, I said it. I am a late bloomer….. but my reasons have nothing to with puberty. You see, a late bloomer is a person whose talents or capabilities are not visible to others until later than usual. Take for instance Maya Angelou. Did you know she was in her 60’s when her poetry and books became popular….
Today I want to show you the easiest burlap heart tutorial. But first something poetic. Love is patient…and not always so kind… especially when you pull on that darn vine. Even pretty little burlap hearts with red arrows can’t defend against it and all it’s itchy, irritable side affects. If you are wondering what in the world I am…
