What IS it about LEGOs?! I don’t know a little boy who doesn’t love them, (I know lots of girls who love them too) and even big boys still get down there and play with them. Dad and big brothers both will spend time playing with Grant. Grant has even been filling up our […]
A quick trip to Disneyland… Yep, I Just Got Happier.
A few weeks ago I attended the Craft & Hobby Association’s winter trade show and conference, which was held at the Anaheim Convention Center… Which happens to be a stone’s throw from Disneyland. And what’s a girl to do when she is hanging out with her blogging friends while just a stone’s throw from Disneyland? Um, […]
Texture, color and inspiration at the CHA winter show.
Remember last week when I told you about the Top 5 craft products that I (personally) was all excited about after the CHA (Craft & Hobby Association’s) Winter Trade Show? Well, I had also been feeling a smidge a wee bit kind of fairly uninspired as of late. (Yesterday I shared the AWFUL areas […]
I spent my day at Fox Hollow Cottage…
Maybe it’s the post-holiday blues, but at the moment I’m feeling a smidge tired and uninspired. (Or perhaps I need a nap…) You know what I do when I’m feeling a bit uninspired…? I look to other bloggers for some eye-candy and inspiration. Today I went over to Fox Hollow Cottage looking for a little inspiration. I […]
Fun and friends at the SoCal Social
A few weeks ago, my friend Bev at Flamingo Toes and I hosted the second annual SoCal Social. It’s a really fun get together for bloggers in the Southern California area. It’s not a conference or a seminar… it’s just a chance to meet other, like minded bloggers and hang out together. It’s a lot […]
Spooky Spirits: Easy Halloween “potions” you already have in your kitchen.
I have a thing for pretty bottles and decanters. I always keep my eyes peeled when I am thrifting, hoping to find some cool ones. So far I have exactly 4, and they are making an appearance in my Halloween decor this year. These cool bottles got a creepy make-over, thanks to fabulous Halloween Clip […]
Labor Day weekend wrap up. The Norco Fair
Hope everyone is having a fun Labor Day Weekend. I shared my County Fair photos the other day, but I wanted to share a few photos I snapped at out hometown Fair this weekend. Because, nothing says country fair like a camel ride… Handsome Hubby and I both grew up in Norco, California. A great place […]
A county fair… bad food, bad prizes and good fun.
Did you go to a county fair this summer? My neighbor Melissa said in an Instagram upload, that a county fair is the Olympics of People Watching. Oh, amen to that. It’s also the Olympics of Fried Food. It’s also the home of giant food… All. Kinds. Of. Wrong. And if you’re going to eat […]
Hanging out on the patio.
We love entertaining, and our parties and dinners are often held on our patio. I love getting ready for these events and making everything look special. But I also love to sit quietly and enjoy the morning sunshine with a cup of coffee too. I feel like I am always so rushed. So even though […]
Make lunch fun: Sea Monster Hot Dogs
I shared this little lunch time project over at Skip To My Lou’s Craft Camp series last month. I am not generally a “kids’ craft” kind of mom, but I still need to make Grant lunch, right? Might as well liven it up every now and then. In this particular case, we made sea-monster hot […]
