I do have a weakness for ice cream. But, the cheese cake variation – I posted here – was not the *healthiest* thing to have in my freezer. So, I came up with this recipe, based on a couple different things I read on the internet. You see, the cheesecake ice cream begins with whippedRead more
Well, we’re coming up on the busiest season home making has to offer. Between the baking, the decorating, gift wrapping, costume making and entertaining- the next three months are going to be hard on moms everywhere. I for one find that there are a few little rituals I engage in during the busy times, thatRead more
Apparently I’m feeling a little strange this week. My two picks are a little more out of the typical “craft” ring than normal. But hey- that’s what I’m here for! Alright- now who’s ready for 2 picks!?!
I love Ikea. There, I said it. I’m an Ikea-aholic. I live about 3 hours away from the nearest one, and still the Swedish design warehouse was the main source of furniture throughout my college years. The stuff was cheap, looked good, and lasted 3 moves. Alas, as an adult, some of those great bargainsRead more
I had no plans for a Wanna Be Wednesday this week. I’ve been plagued with headaches and feeling very busy. This one segment, I thought, I could just leave out this week. I was wrong. Yesterday I got a disturbing phone call from a family member, we’ll call her Lynne. She was upset and cryingRead more
So far this week I have been stuck in A LOT of meetings. That means, of course, lot’s of phone internet browsing =D I’ve stumbled across so many great things I don’t even know what to do about it. I’ll just have to start by sharing 2 of them with you! Alright- now who’s readyRead more
A few weeks ago, my landlord removed the old deck off our back door and put up a new one. The people he hired to do this job, however, neglected to remove the pile of twisted old wood from the previous deck. Well, for a couple weeks I stewed about it – angry, thinking aboutRead more
Since beginning my journey on Who I Want To Be, I’ve spent a lot of time in reflection. I review myself, give myself criticism, praise myself, forgive myself, destress myself, relax myself…. seeing a trend? But this week my focus has been outside of my own self. My darling husband has been such a help since I’ve knownRead 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
Painting my fingernails is one of my guilty pleasures. My husband thinks its a waste of time but I feel so much more “put together” when my nails are well manicured and glossy. When I’m feeling *really* into the spa moment, I do my toes too. =D I can’t, however, afford to get them done.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 myRead more
Hey everyone, its Wednesday again. The day I reflect on my journey towards Who I Want to Be. This week I have the distinct pleasure of introducing Bethany from Sprinkles and Allergies to you all. Bethany and I went to High School together. To be honest, we were each different people back then and we weren’tRead more
