A quick trip to Disneyland… Yep, I Just Got Happier.

January 30, 2013 14 Comments

A few weeks ago I attended a blogging 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, go over and play, of course! With […]

Texture, color and inspiration at the CHA winter show.

January 24, 2013 4 Comments

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 […]

Fun and friends at the SoCal Social

November 13, 2012 4 Comments

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.

October 11, 2012 4 Comments

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

September 3, 2012 2 Comments

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.

August 29, 2012 10 Comments

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.

August 27, 2012 Leave a Comment

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

July 19, 2012 4 Comments

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 […]

Field Trip: The Orange County Swap Meet

May 9, 2012 12 Comments

Do you have a swap meet near you?  The Orange County Swap Meet is near us and we forget how much fun it is to go there, so a few weeks ago that’s how we decided to spend a Saturday morning. I decided to take my camera so that I could blog about our little […]

Why I have a special place in my heart for our driveway.

April 18, 2012 Leave a Comment

My family is big on traditions and get-togethers.  We plan a lot, schedule many things, but we have often found that spontaneity provides some of our favorite moments.   Don’t laugh, but some of our favorite family moments have been on our driveway.  That’s right… the place where you park the cars. It’s the place where neighbor […]
