If you live on the East Coast/polar vortex, you have to promise not to be mad at me when I write this next sentence. The weather here in AZ has been outrageously gorgeous, like 80’s gorgeous. In fact, it’s a little freaky when you think about what it’s going to look like in a couple…
Yeah…I know, Valentine’s Day is so over. But LOVE is endless! (gag if you want to) And I still have dozens of pink glittered hearts hanging around left over from this project. The hubby and I spent the weekend in Flagstaff with family, so we didn’t get much of a romantic evening, but I still…
Whether you are aware of it or not, the first thing you notice when you attend a party or event are the details. Details are what sets apart a party from a soiree (don’t you love that word?)! One of the easiest ways to gussy up a table is with special napkins. Most people probably expect…
Ahhhh…February, the month of love. The month when all the Fry’s stores have huge “Valentines Express” tents set up outside for the hapless husband or boyfriend who forgets that it is Valentines month until the moment is upon him. When Costco jacks up their rose prices ten bucks and people say nothing. So, so romantic.…
It’s been cold here in Phoenix this week…. And by that I mean in the 60’s (sorry/not sorry rest of the country). Cool weather is the perfect reason to bust out the dutch oven and make a big pot of my favorite tomato basil parmesan soup. This soup is the BOMB (am I dating myself?)! Not…
Seriously, I think it should be illegal to have Thanksgiving so late in the month. I STILL feel behind! Can it really be February already? Will I ever stop using the phrase “can it really be (insert month here) already?” Darn you, late Thanksgiving. Even though I still feel behind, and my January goals did…
Okay, I know that word does not really work. But when I hear the word “resolution” I think of things like “drink more water, and less Dr. Pepper” or “Go to the gym instead of binge watching Mad Men on Netflix.” No stinkin’ fun. So when you replace the “res” with “fun” you get…. Fun…
Can you believe that December is already here? Already time to pull out the Christmas decorations! While I feel a little freaked that Christmas will be here in just a few weeks, I’m excited to share some of my favorite traditions with the little bumblebees. This is the first year that they both really “get…
Last week, we got a little surprise here in sunny AZ. Water fell from the sky. And then it kept falling for like three days. These crazy little outside lovers got a wee bit stir crazy, and Mama had to come up with something new to keep them busy. A girl can only do so…
Let’s face it – these days, we are all busybusybusy. Soccer practice and dance recitals and church and work and dinner and playdates and game night and on and on and on! Taking time to MAKE something? Ain’t nobody got time for that! Not to mention how easy it is to just run out and…
