A “fun” project for ya…
Hello all! I hope you had a great weekend. We sure did. I went to 2 yard sales on Saturday – they weren’t the best in the world. One of them was advertised as a “Multi-Family Yard Sale in Millionaire neighborhood.” They said they had pottery barn decor and kids’ stuff, so I went with…

The Big Move
Well, as promised, I will share pics of our new abode. First of all, I should remind you that these are horrendous pics all taken with my ipod. Horrendous. Really horrendous. All that aside, I figured it would be better to share some bad quality pics than no pics at all. 😛 Second, these pics…

July 4th Cupcakes 🙂
Happy 4th of July!!! Here’s my (slightly humorous) attempt at patriotic cupcakes: They were supposed to look like American flags, but of course, I got regular size twizzlers and do you have any idea how difficult it is to get them to bend and stick to the icing when they get any longer than 1…

A Fab Find
Last Monday of June! What?!?!?!?!? Crazy! You know, 6 months from this past Saturday is Christmas. 🙂 I can’t believe how this year is flying by!! On to other news… I {heart} thrift stores.

The Big Bang
Last week, I posted a status on facebook about some “disaster” that happened in my house. Specifically…on my wall. Allow me to tell you the story: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My daughter was napping (sometimes a rare occurrence) and I was working on blogg-y stuff. I was in the middle of updating some things on here: when…
