Today has been pretty great so far. I got back from my month long vacation to Mississippi this afternoon. Last night we had to find a hotel in the middle of no where because we had three screaming kids. Like bawling. Anyway, we were only 3 hours from home but everyone was way to tired. We went and surprised the kid's grandma at...

       You can either take this post one of two ways. You can groan and say "Two food posts in one week?" or you can run to the pantry, make sure you have all the ingredients and then get baking! I personally suggest the second option. My mouth is watering and despite the fact I just had breakfast, my stomach is...

Okay, so this post is kind of late. Three weeks ago I gave the Shirt Dresses I made to the little girls I'm staying with. One week ago I took pictures of them. Last night we finally got the pictures onto the computer. Phew. Took us long enough! And here they are: As you see, they proceeded to let their princesses go for a...

        Getting sick of these favorites posts? Don't worry. As soon as I get home, I'll go bury myself under a pile of projects and blog about them all...hopefully. I've got about 15 different things bookmarked. They consist of 3 bags, 2 skirts, 6 desserts containing chocolate, a birthday gift idea, and 3 non chocolate recipes. I clearly have my priorities...

       I recently cleaned out my bookmarks list. You know? Delete all the sites, pages, and projects you don't need. Well I guess I was making room for the new. I actually cleaned out about 50 Facebook friends too and I'm not done yet. I seriously don't get why people need like 700 friends. Friend of a friend I met once?...

I admit it. I'm a planner. I don't always plan... but I do like to about 80% of the time. Blogging is no exception. On Friday I had about 5 different posts scheduled. I like to not have to worry about things. And guess what? I still do. Now how about a commence with an unplanned post? I do like to be spontaneous...

For Father's Day, I decided to write a letter to my dad. Here it goes:        Dear Dad,         Thank you. Thank you for the hours you've spent with me attempting to check my tear stained math homework in the midst of a breakdown. Thank you for attempting to help me study for Spanish even though you speak French...

        Today is Saturday. That has no relative meaning to the rest of this post whatsoever. I was pretty much just reminding myself. Now that it's Summer the days just sort of all melt together. Mondays feel like Fridays and the "Monday" feeling is nonexistent.        Anyway, if you go and check out my pages, you'll see I added...

       With Father's Day coming up, there's definitely some crafts for Dad flying around blogland.  I was looking for something creative to make my dad this year. I didn't want to just find a printable and color it in. Though, I do admit to doing that in past years. This year I was up for a challenge. HA. Sort of.   ...
