Tut Tuesday: Ombre Glittered Valentine Boxes
I can’t wait until the day I get to help my children with their Valentines. It’s such a fun way to show how much you love and appreciate your friends, not to mention hinting about your crush on that boy in your 4th grade class. Sometimes it’s nice to shy away from the typical Batman [...]
Fresh Find Friday
Oh boy. I’m so happy it’s Friday. I’ve been looking forward to this weekend because my husband and I get to go on a date tonight! It’s been a busy month with a lot of travel. But now we’re in the same place and that is cause for celebration. Huzzah! I hope you all have [...]
#PinPantone
According to Pantone, the color of the year is Tangerine Tango. And it’s gorgeous. I love this color because it’s super bright and super fun. It also makes ya look tan. If you’re into that sort of thing… Which I am. This girl hasn’t seen the sun in over a year and it’s starting to [...]
Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies

Tut Tuesday: Spotted Gold Placemat
Don’t you hate when your weekend goes by and you feel like you didn’t sit AT ALL? You do? Me too. And don’t you hate when you ask for Diet Coke and they say, “Is Diet Pepsi okay?” You do? Me too. Diet Pepsi is not the same. You can’t pull the wool over my [...]

I wish I knew about this when I turned 9.
A person’s Golden Birthday occurs when they turn the age of their birthdate. My birthday is February 9th so my chance for gold passed without my knowing. Sad day. :( My friend, Kristine, has an amazing party blog. She lives in CA and throws some pretty swag parties. I wanted to share a few pics from her most [...]
Where have I been?
Holy long break. I apologize for the extended absence. I was planning to finish moving and then pick back up where we left off. And then I got super sick. And then we had a trip to D-I-S-N-E-Y-L-A-N-D. I was planning to blog through the trip, but catching a cold really set me back. So [...]
On Hiatus…

Project 365: A photo a day for a year
Something I definitely want to improve this year? My photography skills. I’m not super talented. I’m not even semi-talented. I’d like to change that. Stacie, has extended a challenge to take one photo every day of the year. And I accepted. I think this could be a fun way to document the exciting and not-so-exciting [...]
