I love seeing the before & after pictures. I love watching the homeowners’ faces as they see their room transformed into something…

    Sacrifice :: 15/52 + Book Winner

    Sacrifice. What comes to your mind when you hear this word?

    I hope you caught my pun in the title of this post. I love a good, corny pun. Here’s an update of our Easter weekend in pics. I love a good sugar cookie recipe. But sometimes you just need to start with a mix. True that. And you can’t have good sugar cookie fun without…

    Foolin’ Around :: 14/52

    The other day, my little girl was eating lunch. Part of her lunch consisted of raw spinach leaves. Yep – I’m one of those moms.

    The “Eyes” of March :: 11/52 + Book Giveaway! (CLOSED)

    The “eyes” of March. That’s the topic for this week’s photo challenge over at My 3 Boybarians. I didn’t want to take a picture of eyes. Because that’s obvious. And I like to be creative, and sorta…un-obvious. Only sometimes this backfires and I’m so “creative” that I don’t make sense. Things have been so warm…
