Okay- so I know it’s already late on Wednesday but I didn’t get a chance to post about all the fun things that happened LAST weekend, so here goes:  Saturday was a great day of hitting some thrift shops. You see, I’ve been in the market for some old vintage-y pillowcases to make my darling…

Here’s what was on tonights dinner menu. Cherry Chicken Lettuce Wraps & Coconut Rice. This recipe will serve 2 if you are making it as a main course, or 4 for an appetizer. I can’t remember where I found these recipes (I think allrecipes?) but they are super simple and easy on the eyes (ha…

Our little ninja baby decided to climb out of his crib on Sunday afternoon, resulting in a broken collarbone. He cried at first but seemed fine, so we thought he was okay. Monday, he wouldn’t crawl or use his right side to do anything and by the end of the day was so fussy we…

I came across this on another blog and knew it had to be passed along. This site is hilarious. You upload a photo of yourself & it tells you what celebrity you look like. We did Henry a few times and each time, it came up with these old men (whom we had never heard…

Monday was a bit of a crazy & stressful day. I have decided that now is going to be a time for me to determine how to best use my skills and talents to focus my energy on doing something that is creatively fufilling. I have so many thoughts & ideas, but it feels like…

I’ve desperately been feeling the need to "create" something this week, and I don’t know what the latest fascination with flowers is, but I was happy to sit down & make this while vegging out on the couch and catching up on some quality TiVo. This paper flower is huge (just the way I like…

I’ve been thinking of adding a column to my blog that will feature a new recipe every week. I’m always on the look-out for new things to make for dinner- so I thought I’d share what we had for dinner tonight. I made this recipe up, so it doesn’t have a name, hmm maybe I…

I’ve just realized that every photo I have with Emily pretty much looks like this. She always holds the camera because she said the has the "long arm" which is true. If you ever meet Emily in real life, you’ll see what I am talking about.  Her left arm is about a foot longer than…

Tonight was week #2 in our beginners sewing class. We learned how to read patterns, pinned them down and cut them out. Next week the actual sewing begins! So this is the fantastic Russell that you have all inquired about. Isn’t he/she fabulous (see photo)? He’s not as big chested in real life-(and I can’t…
