Book List for 2011 Update
Okay, so it hit me about a week ago that I’ve gotten waaaaaaay behind in doing my regular book reviews. As a result, I still have 4 reviews to post and not enough time to post them before the end of the year. Unless I did a week of nothing-but-book-reviews. But that would be boring.…

Fill Me Up
This is such a busy time of year. I LOVE the Christmas season and all the extra things that come along with it. Well, I love most of the extra things anyway. I could do without the long lines and traffic. 🙂 During busy times like this, I have to take extra time to stop. I…

Christmas Food
So, what are you eating this holiday season? (No, no…don’t start feeling guilty. This is not your conscience speaking.) Really, though, are you cooking for Christmas? Or is someone else cooking for you? Do you have a traditional meal you eat? Or a tradition someone makes for you but you hate? A friend recently told…

Soup Season
Do you love this cold weather?I do – and soup is one of the reasons I love it. You know, you can eat soup on hot days. It still tastes good. But it doesn’t taste as good as if you ate it on a cold, blustery day. Here are 3 of my favorite soup recipes: Corn…

Chocolate Mint Dreams
As I promised during my Christmas Home Tour, today I will share my most favorite Christmas cookie recipe E.V.E.R. I’ve been trying to remember exactly when I discovered this recipe. I think it was 5 years ago when my parents gave me a magazine for Christmas entitled “Taste of Home’s Best Loved Cookies and…

Christmas Home Tour
knock, knock (Ahhhh!!! Someone’s here?!?! I hope it’s just the UPS man – I’m still in my pajamas and the house is a wreck.) Oh hi! It’s you. And you want to see my house? Ooooookay, but you have to promise to squint and tell me it looks beautiful even if you don’t really…

O Christmas Tree…
“O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, how lovely are thy branches…” One of my favorite sights during this season is a lit Christmas tree – especially when it’s shining in the night from a cozy home. The other night, my family was driving home and I was peering at all the houses to see all…

The Second Noel
Last year, I was browsing through (wait, I don’t really browse…more like study) Pottery Barn’s holiday magazine. My eyes spotted this lovely scene: Like many other people, I was quite smitten with their Noel wall art (no longer available). I loved its’ simple and classic style. And I wanted it in my home. So I began…

A Furry Project
A while ago, I was scanning the remnant section at my local Hancock Fabrics and found something lovely: Rabbit fur!!! (rabbit not included) Everything in the remnant section is 75% off, so this 1/4 yard of fur turned out to be $1.25. I think I can handle that. As soon as I saw it, I had…

Happily Ever After DIY Canvas
It all started with this: See that large blank wall space above my bed? I wanted something to fill it. I have this cool candle-holder-wire-thing that I thought might be pretty, but since it’s my bedroom, I wanted it to be something more personal and romantic…not a boring old “something I could just buy in…
