Don't you just love it when you fall in love with a dish. Not the "Hey, I'm really glad I made this. It's really yummy" kind of love. I'm talking about the "Oh my goodness! Where have you been all my life, and why am I not eating you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?" kind of love. That was a Christmas gift I received...

Hey guys!Boy, this week week between Christmas and New Year's really wreaks havoc with stuff. I haven't been doing things I know I should, and instead sitting on my tuckus enjoying all the trimmings of Christmas.I did get a ton of stuff done before the holidays, but I only took pictures of  one of the gifts, because...

So blogger decided to erase my first post so this one might not be as eloquent. Firstly, did everyone have a nice Christmas? I did the hubs spoiled me and got me the running and gym gear I wanted. I got these new Zumba shoes. Aren't they awesome?Isn't that pajama'ed leg awesome?I can't wait  for Zumba tomorrow....

At 12:01 AM I was going into labor - 6 years ago.It was my due date, but I didn't think I'd actually be giving birth. It was another false labor, just like the other 4 or 5 times. They send me home around 3:30 or 4. I'm effaced enough but not dilated enough.They tell me to get some sleep and go to my OB in the...

Some of you have heard about my sordid love affair with Starbucks. Their coffee and baked goods are so tasty, but, let's face it, it's probably not that good for me. I don't know what goes into their sweet, delicious goodies after all. Plus, Starbucks takes my money. Jerk...I love you. Anyway, Mike knows of this situation,...

Don't you just love the holiday season?I do!So without any ado, here is how the house is decked out. I'm only sharing the main floor today, tomorrow I'll get to the kids'...

I'm free! I'm free! Christmas for our families is out the door and out of my hands. This has consumed my life for the last two weeks, but it's all done! Now I just hope our families love their gifts. We'll find out next week...Well, I embarked on a new adventure this week: Candy making. I don't have any pictures...

You know there are some things that I do really well, and others....well, at least I tried.Not to say that today's ornament is not a looker. I'm quite pleased with how these three turned out, but its a good thing that I'm not a cartographer. Or maybe if I was then these would be more geographically correct.By now you all...

Well I'm sharing some ornaments with you guys again today.I just can't seem to get enough of wood grain, so I decided that I would freehand some on some ornaments.I painted the inside of these ornaments and let that dry completely.Then I grabbed a Sharpie oil-based marker in white and to town.I just went around and around...

I’m going to start by saying that my big guy is such a sweet sentimental guy. I don’t know what Hubs and I did to deserve such a sweetheart, but maybe we’re doing something right. This year each kiddo has their own tree in their room, and my super sweet, sentimental guy wanted me to make him ornaments. He told me that...
