Making faux coral using salt dough. I love the look of summer décor using coral and shells.               I love the faux versions that Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel carry, but I am not willing to shell out that kind of […]
Feeling a little RED today.
Yesterday we had a nice, lazy Saturday morning. Â After lounging in our jammies a while, I asked Grant to get dressed. As he went to change clothes I called after him: “And Grant!?? Please make sure you put on something that matches, OK…?” He came back wearing this: “What?! It’s all red…” Yes, a red […]
dogs left in cars
People? Â If you are dumb enough and cruel enough to leave your dog locked in your car on a hot day… …you get everything that is coming to you.
Apples Malloy: the dessert that will turn you into a piggy. (Or maybe that’s just me.)
A few months back I was at a pot luck beach party. There was a vast array of food to choose from. One that I had never seen before had sliced Granny Smith apples and some sort of cream cheese and chocolate chip concoction to dip the apples in. I took a tentative bite. I […]
Can you get me an introduction….?
The other night Grant comes into the living room and plops onto the couch. He looks over at me and says, “I want to meet Jesus.” This throws me. Â In the matter of about 2 seconds, the following questions flash through my head:Â Â Is 9:00 on a school night the time to have a conversation about […]
If you can wrap a gift, you can recover a chair cushion….
…. well, temporarily. Here’s the situation:  I love our dog, but she isn’t too nice to our outdoor furniture. We have a set that is super comfy, but she has gotten up onto the cushions to sleep. That has made them dingy and a little thread-bare in places. We host Thanksgiving and Mother’s Day Brunch […]
At a wedding, the kids always steal the show.
Grant was in a wedding this weekend. He was uber-excited to wear a tuxedo, but was disappointed it wasn’t the kind with a bow-tie. He was really, really cute… So he had to put up with lots of cheek pinching and hugs from people he didn’t know. (I thought the fact we had to put […]
Easy floral arrangement using fruit & flowers.
A few days ago I posted my Mother’s Day Brunch wrap up and told you I’d be back with the simple way to make this centerpiece using store bought fruit and roses from my yard. As promised: Gather your supplies. In this case, roses and hydrangeas from my yard, an empty olive jar, a glass […]
Mother’s Day Wrap-up. No pictures of people, but pictures of Pom-Poms. Duh.
I just washed and put away the last champagne flute from our annual Mother’s Day Brunch. This is the 5th one we’ve hosted, and each time it gets a little easier to put together. I change the theme and/or color scheme each year. I was going to do this turquoise and apple green, with pops […]
Happy Mother’s Day, from Wisenheimer #1.
I am still washing champagne flutes and working on my post about Mother’s Day Brunch. In the meantime, I wanted to share one of the Mother’s Day greetings I received…. Yep. That is a tack/push-pin, and the note is pinned to the wall. Any woman who gave birth, adopted, is a step-parent or a mentor/mother […]
