So I just got done giggling as I saw my cousin, Cherie, celebrating the 8-year anniversary of MAXX New York live on QVC. They had a special 2-hour live show and all of my aunts were in the audience cheering her on! It was super cute… and the deals on her purses were [...]
I cannot yet speak from experience, as we are still waiting to purchase a formal dining room table, but setting “different” tablescapes seems like it could be a daunting task for entertaining. So when I saw this feature on This Young House last week, I had to bookmark it for the future. With just [...]
I’m so proud to say that this week, I’m in the spotlight over on WeddingBee. (For those of you that don’t know, I blogged throughout my wedding planning at this amazing site) I worked hard to kick my wiki of wedding goodness into shape, so I’m sure that’s why I achieved the [...]
Tomorrow afternoon… sometime around 4pm… my dear friend Nora will be married!!!

Boy do I adore a simple little note set like this. In fact, I think I need a dotted outline of someting ASAP.
I had a noble cause. I cooked meals for a week straight. I stocked up on perishables, and even stocked up on milk and OJ for our breakfasts. And then, it all went awry.
I came home yesterday and opened the fridge to grab some milk. And it was WARM. The fan wasn’t running, [...]
I love gift bows, but I have serious issues spending lots of money on shiny bows. But, I fear that I’ll never have that problem again thanks to this handy dandy trick I picked up via One Shiny Thing (thank you Miss American Pie @ Craftster).
This kick-ass tutorial will help you [...]
I just found the organized solution to my new obsession invovling menu-planning madness. This activity currently takes place on any blank piece of paper/envelope lying around the house at the time.
