Do you remember a while ago when my friend Amy got married? I did a TON of craft projects related to her wedding. DIY Personalized Pyrex, Spray colored Cookies, Wedding Countdown [Free Printable], etc. Well, I debated long and hard (no pun intended) about sharing this technique with you because, well, it's kida silly. You [...]
Read More...Well hello there! I know what you're thinking. I'm late. Sigh, its true. I just couldn't bring my butt to write this post yesterday (you know, Tuesday? As in 2 Pick Tuesday?) but I swear I'll try and do better. Can you believe now its already Wednesday? I don't know about you all but my [...]

Father's day tends to be anticlimactic for me, since my father passed away in 2008. Usually my mother, brother, sister and I get together and do something fun (since it's usually my brother's birthday as well.) But, its impossible not to miss my dad any time of the year, especially during holidays like Father's Day. [...]

Mother's Day is next week! And, since I discussed all my mushy gushy feelings for mom in the Mother's Day Printable Coupons post, I'll cut to the chase on this one. I wanted to do something a little more sophisticated for my mom and for my grandma. Thinking of Mother's Day and all the my [...]

The summer season means a lot of pot lucks for me. Family gatherings, graduation parties, work outings and miscellaneous other picnics. And I'm not ashamed to say that sometimes, I get rather behind. That means that the night before I have to present some amazing treat to wow the masses - I'm panicked, rushing, and usually pretty grouchy. [...]

I think I've started writing this post 15 times already. I just can't put my feelings about my mom down in words. Everything I write sounds so trite and overdone. "She supported me, raised me, taught me..." It's difficult to describe a person's influence on you when it has been so vast. Moreover, its not [...]

So, I'm kinda into egg dying in preparation for Easter. (Who are we kidding? Easter is the excuse. I would dye eggs every month if I could get away with it!) So I was snooping around on Pinterest for something neat to try. Thats when I stumbled upon this pin. See those crackly looking mosaic [...]

Currently in my refrigerator there are two dozen eggs marked, "MINE! DO NOT EAT!" In sharpie. That MUST mean its getting close to Easter! I love art with eggs. My husband and I have dabbled in Pysanky (to some pretty impressive results), I've dyed them, painted them, colored them with sharpie, and more. But this year, I [...]

Throughout my childhood there were 2 notable holidays that I looked forward to. Christmas because, well- PRESENTS! And Easter. Why? Because after my mom got me all gussied up in some itchy uncomfortable dress and hauled me to church, I got to go to Grandma's for Easter dinner and an egg hunt. It was the [...]

Honestly, I don't like to eat Peeps. The whole sugar covered marshmallow doesn't really appeal to me as much now as it did when I was a kid. But boy, I still think they are the cutest thing. I love seeing them all nestled in their cellophane at the store- and I love letting them [...]
