I’m shocked and excited to admit that my itty-bitty-baby sister started High School last week. Can you imagine!? This teeny little thing that was always SO YOUNG compared to me is now a freshman. Ya’ll don’t even know how old that makes me feel. But, Kristy is an awesome young teen and she has beenRead more
I am all about shortcuts and sort-of homemade treats. If I can find a quick way to do something that still tastes delicious {like with my Mini Ice Cream Cone Cake Pops or Donut Hole Cake Pops}, then I am all over it. Like s’mores. I love, love, LOVE s’mores, but they’re kind of a painRead more
Happy Monday everyone!! I hope it has been a great weekend. And next week in the US we get a three day weekend! My sister came and stayed over this week, and we had a blast! She helped me make these awesome DIY dishwasher tabs. Check them out! [question]Alright, on a serious note. Are linkyRead more
Sometimes a craft is born from necessity. In the case of this craft, my sister and I had finished making The World’s Best Chocolate Chip Cookies and successfully dirtied every utensil and bowl in the house, when we realized we were all out of dishwasher tablets. Having seen variations on dishwasher tabs, I turned directlyRead more
Holy freaking cow. I know that a lot of SSM parties start with me expressing my shock at the time of year. (Seriously, I would bet that 8/10 begin that way.)

This post contains mention of products provided to me by Avery. All opinions are 100% mine. When I was going through school, I had a gigantic blue-jean three ring binder that zipped on the side. It had embroidered butterflies on the front and I had threaded a length of keychain through the spine to supportRead more
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Listerine for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I have a huge weakness with “out of sight, out of mind” sort of mentalities. If I don’t have a visual reminder of a task, I’m pretty likely to forget it. (This is why hubby pays the billsRead more
The year is now 3/4 of the way over. Less than 4 months until January! Ugh! Where did the time go? There were so many projects around the house that I’d hoped to have finished by now. How did I get so far behind? I did manage to complete my spice drawer. So thats 1Read more
Happy Monday! We are eeking closer and closer to August. Are you ready? The year will be 3/4 over in no time. I can’t believe it! How was your weekend? I went to a baby shower for my cousin (did you see the butterfly mobile I made?) cleaned house and tried to get caught upRead more
My cousin is having a baby! That means I’m headed to a baby shower. Now, years ago I shot myself in the foot when I started making hand-made gifts. I made these sweet baby clothes Parfaits for one cousin, This awesome personalized pyrex for a wedding, This neato rustic sign for another wedding, Nail polishRead more
Well hello there!!! It has been a while, I know. I had a wonderful vacation with hubby. The long and short of it: We drove the beetle to the East coast and the ocean. Once in New York we realized the engine block (heads and exhaust valves) were deformed and we had to contact their localRead more
