Just the other day I wrote about how I needed to come up with a centerpiece for our annual Mother’s Day Brunch. I didn’t have a lot of time, and I never want to spend a lot of money, so here’s what I came up with… This book page chandelier and the photos of this […]
What are you serving up on Superbowl Sunday?
People who watch the Superbowl fall into two categories: Those who pretend to watch the game, but are really only there for the company and the Superbowl Commercials. Those fans who are so focused that they get annoyed if anyone speaks during the game. (Or coughs… or makes any little non-football-related sound at all…) No matter […]
The Great Halloween Party Wrap Up (2011 edition)
I love hosting parties and dinners. I love getting ready for them and creating special little details. I love my friends and family so, so much, and I’d really like to be able to say that all those little details are for them and for them only… but that wouldn’t be completely true. Creating the […]

Mother’s Day Wrap-up. No pictures of people, but pictures of Pom-Poms. Duh.

The Great Halloween Party wrap up.
Handsome Hubby and I hosted a Halloween Party on Saturday night. Thanks to the generosity of Shawn from Seriously, HH and I were fabulous vampires. She loaned us these great costumes. We got compliments on them all night long and people were amazed to hear that a bloggy friend I’ve never actually had the pleasure […]
