Well, its the last Monday of 2012! How are you feeling looking back on the past year? I’m feeling overwhelmingly grateful. In the past year, I started this party, I worked on growing this blog, and I focused on being a better me. I can’t say I’ve accomplished all of my goals, or that I’mRead more
Holy New Year Batman! Its hard to believe that it is almost 2013. I’ve been bumming around my mom’s house for the past week, hanging out with family, doing some DIY redecorating in my brother’s bedroom and all in all taking it easy. But don’t go thinking that because mom and I are couch-potato-ing thatRead more
You know, I really had planned to set aside some time while here at my mother’s house for the next several days. I intended to publish my cute DIY printable, get Sweet Sharing Monday and 2PickTuesday going, and chat on Social Media throughout the holidays. But you know what? I’m on vacation. Sitting here, surroundedRead more
Do you know what today is? Today is 7 days before Christmas! I’ve already begun to pack up my things for the long stay at my mother’s house. I’ve got most of the gifts wrapped and I’m planning for all of the sweet treats we’ll be bringing to share. Oh, and did I mention itsRead more
Happy Monday to you all. This past week has been a busy one, baking 3 pecan pies, countless sugar cookies, and wrapping all sorts of presents. Not to mention my latest post Healthy Santa Shooters and my Woodland Christmas Countdown. Still, it feels rather empty and bittersweet in light of the recent tragedy in Newtown.Read more
The holiday season is full of overly sweet, overly fattening and generally good for nothing desserts. I say good for nothing, but really, they are good for being DELICIOUS. So, I thought I’d try my hand at something a little less heavy. My mother in law makes a no-bake cheesecake that my husband adores. Its mostlyRead more
Happy Tuesday! I hope that your week so far is going great! This is the 2nd Tuesday of December and exactly 2 weeks from Christmas. (Gosh, when you say it like that it makes me feel like this month is moving too fast!) Anyhoo, I’ve got some super cute 2 Picks – lets see ’em!
Happy Monday everyone! I had a productive weekend, spent some time at a Christmas party with the hubs. I also finished up all of my shopping for him – feeling pretty darn productive. Oh! And don’t forget to download my Woodland Christmas Countdown, and check out the Hard Candy Christmas Trees from last week. ;DRead more
Yeah, I’m a sucker for a good countdown. There is something so satisfying about walking into my office each day and turning the blocks to reflect some fast approaching holiday. It helps me to keep on top of things that need to be done before I take time off, as well as generates buzz and excitement. “OnlyRead more
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
Its officially December. For me, December means a great deal of things. There’s the usual Christmas, and Holiday parties. There’s shopping for gifts, wrapping and decorating. December is also my birthday (precisely one week before Christmas) – so that’s thrown into the mix. December means seeing people I haven’t seen in a while, catching upRead more
Happy first Monday in December!! Its one of those amazing sort of months coming up- where joy and goodwill somehow resonate over business that threatens to overwhelm. This week I’ve got Hubby’s work Christmas party, and on Wed I’ll be visiting nursing homes with little gifts to brighten their month. But don’t think I’ve beenRead more
