Spent Thursday night and Friday morning at the pool. Attempted to clean a little during dd's nap but that didn't really happen. Packed everything for the fireworks picnic and prepared Mar-a-Largo Turkey burgers to fire up over the weekend. It's not your typical cheeseburger but OMG, I love them ( Read more... )

I didn't manage to make a card on Friday, but I did secure a great playlist, sushi and a kitchen torch for some amazing homemade creme brulee. I even got the house in decent order so I could relax. I think that was the real reason I was stressing out. I just can't relax when the house is messy. We had a fantastic Friday night. Saturday night was ( Read more... )

I know Easter is far away but these things take time to plan! Inspired by The Washington Post competitions, we are making peep dioramas a tradition at our house. Would love if anyone wants to join in. I'm just beginning to think of concepts so suggestions are welcome as well. And in case you have no idea what I'm talking about, here are a couple ( Read more... )

I've been really bad. Things have been so crazy at work and I've had to do a lot of extra hours that I don't have my valentine's day playlist finalized (it's close but the order isn't completed), don't have a card made and only vaguely have a plan for tomorrow that involves sushi.

I like to make valentine playlists for dh and it's that time of year again. I feel stumped. I want something sexy but not Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." I adore the sound of John Mayer's "Gravity" if you are familiar with it. Any suggestions? Are there any songs you think of as sexy? Here is my playlist from last year which was meant to be fun ( Read more... )

I know there are some serious cat lovers around here so does anyone know where I can get a nice panther shaped cookie cutter? I want to make black panther and pink panther cookies for dd's birthday party. I had some sites bookmarked but they got deleted. Any animal cookie experts out there?

I don't know what happened. I had this plan to get dd just a couple presents for Christmas and now I feel I have gone overboard. She's not even two and for some reason, I didn't think about the fact that other people are going to give her stuff too. I grew not getting many gifts and certainly didn't get gifts from other family members/friends so ( Read more... )

Our plan was to shampoo the carpets tonight. Who thinks we will actually do this? Oh, and the laundry needs to be put away ( Read more... )
