This was a guest post for SkipToMyLou.org. I just LOVE being able to share with my bloggy friends. I’m posting it here in case you missed it! Hello everyone! I hope that the first week of December was a good one for all of you! My name is Kayla from SayNotSweetAnne.com and I am so tickled to shareRead more
I’ll admit it. For all of his flaws (and mine) my hubby is awesome. He is kind and smart, attentive and supportive. So, every now and than I like to give him a little something to show him that I care. Nothing too big, just enough to let him know that I was thinking aboutRead more
Things get hectic. Yup- that happens. People start to get pushy, and you start to feel overwhelmed. That’s when I’m at my worst. I internalize a lot of “what ifs” and “how comes”, which leads me to be constantly anxious about what I’m going to do next. In the beginning of the Who I Want to BeRead more
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.Read more
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 notRead more
I saw this wonderful paper basket post from 2009 on The Little Blue Room, and thought it was SO CUTE! So, the next step was to make a cutting file for the paper basket, so that I could make multiples in a flash for Easter. And the step after THAT is sharing them all withRead more
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 theRead more
I think that peeps are just the sweetest thing. I love their bright vibrant colors, the way the herald in spring (almost like the singing of actual, you know, birds.) I love seeing them all nestled in their cellophane at the store- and I love letting them dry out and using them is decor. This PeepRead more
This post is one I was honored to guest post at Skip To My Lou yesterday. Now its time to share it with anyone who might have missed it!! One of my favorite memories of school, is a Valentine’s party my mother lead in my classroom around 2nd grade. Way back before computers, my motherRead more
I’ll admit it. I have a thing for mocha. Just mocha, mind you. I don’t like coffee. I do like what coffee does to chocolate. . One of my dearest go-to drinks are the kind you buy in adorable little glass bottles at the grocery store. But what to do with those ideally sized glassRead more
Alright I admit it. I’m a bit of a nerd. My Husband works in IT- I spend my whole day on a computer doing Graphic Design- and just this week end I broke out a 20 year old DOS based game (Tim Sweeny’s ZZT) just to remenisce. And if you don’t understand that last part-Read more
Since I’ve been posting a lot about all of my Halloween decorations and getting all sorts of great ideas from tons of places, I’ve decided to share my final results. (I say final, but I know that between now and Oct 31 I will add to this collection.) First up are some table decorations I’veRead more
