I interrupt the slew of holiday decor ,cookie recipes and ornament tutorials today, to bring you something that is just as important……once the season is over. But don’t worry, Holiday frenzy will return to normal tomorrow. See, I am thinking ahead for you as January seems to be when we all create those lists that include organizing something in…
My Thanksgiving table decor this year is made possible courtesy of a label. Yes … a label. You know, the kind you print and stick. I’ll tell ya, the timing could not have been better to partner with Avery in their Personalize with Avery Labels program because, quite frankly, I had no idea what my general theme…
I must confess….and please don’t hold it against me. I mean we are friends and all. I am a terrible eater. Always have been. Ask anyone who knows me. Not that I gorge on bon-bons and chips all day….. what I mean is that I don’t eat properly. Until a few months ago that is. Here’s…
Hard to believe the lazy days of summer will soon come to an end and my kids are headed back to school next week. My twins will be entering Kindergarten and my oldest will be in 2nd grade. Handing them over to a wonderful school with wonderful teachers seems so scary yet exciting for them….and…
For the longest time I was the mom who said ” food in the kitchen only” “drinks at the counter” “use a plate for your crumbs” to my kids…..repeatedly. In fact, to help fight the temptation of not having food outside of the kitchen, and only because I wanted less to clean, I didn’t even have a coffee table for…
Please don’t laugh , but I always assume that if dessert has fruit in it, it’s healthy…… right? So today. I am sharing my version of a healthy trifle. Just like this one….. And it’s extra good for you if you combine at least 2 of the key food groups…. in this case, dairy…
Christmas Eve candle-lite service, caroling, hot chocolate, reading the Christmas story from the bible and the smell of a fresh cut pine tree Elf on the shelf, Wisemen and Angels in the Christmas play at church, singing your hearts out at the school holiday concert and displaying the only stocking you had since you were a child Sprinkling reindeer food on the front…
Seriously. No joke. Today I am going to tell you how to fake the boss out with dessert. Is that so bad? She thinks I was in the kitchen all day baking up a delicious dessert when she came for dinner the other night. I mean look at this thing. Looks like a culinary piece of art!…
I have no shame….I am not the worlds best cook…but I certainly try. And today’s the best banana pudding cheesecake ever that I found here not only gives me an A+ for effort but extra credit for the taste. If you love cheesecake as much as I do, then you don’t want to pass up this…
Hard to believe that I can have this lush blue water with these amazing shells, sitting on top of soft powdery sand and a place for a candle right here in the country ! What’s even more amazing about this 8th natural wonder of the world, is that I can sit next to it and…
Once upon a time I loved this sign that I picked up at a second hand store for next to nothing. I loved the colors, the size and the words. But the more my 6 year saw the sign, and started to read simple words, the more he believed it was true and so I slowly…
I admit, I am not much of a foodie and your probably won’t see much of it on my blog unless it can be painted, reconstructed or redesigned. Don’t get me wrong, I love it, just can’t cook it. I could not keep my eyes off of these cupcakes. How stunning are they!!! Click here…
