This was a little din din I whipped up the other night, and as you all know, I seriously just throw stuff together, with no measuring, just whatever. I think it's how I was raised, watching my mom add a little of this, a little of that, understanding what seasonings compliment each other, and what don't. So, I roll with it. And anything that is a homemade meal for my family amidst our chaotic evenings with homework, sports, and events and … [Read more...]
I love you, deer.
I'm not much of a taxidermy gal. Something about the dead animal thing on my wall kinda freaks me out. But I AM a lover of some recreated animal heads…. especially if they're sparkly and gold! …. I came across this CUTEST print from the darling Amanda at All Things Pretty... You guys know I have been polishing up my office, trying to make it my "girl cave" (leaving the dark wood in tact as much as I could), so when … [Read more...]
Cutting the Cokes
Now that spring is officially here, that means summer will be here before we know it, and when I hear summer, I think bathing suits. I know the countdown is on and time is running out before I have to look at this body in the mirror in a swimsuit, and so does the rest of the world when I go on vacation. So that means operation HURRY THE HECK UP in shedding a few pounds, like NOW is underway! HA! Am I terribly overweight? No. I'm just a few … [Read more...]

FIRST HIT YOUR MUTE BUTTON NOW! because there is a Vine video here that will WAKE the neighbors! {That was your Monday morning wake up call!LOL!} As another spring break has come to an end and our daily routines begin again, I wanted to share some thoughts on the little things in life and taking them for granted....

Girl – Friends
Boys, if you are reading this, I want you to continue to read. This message is for the girls, but you guys can listen, too. It might come in handy if your woman needs advice. Being a girl, a highly sensitive one at that, I've learned a few things in my 29 + a few extra years. I think with age comes wisdom. And this past week, I grew a year older. And based upon my years, the people who've come into my life this far, past and present, I … [Read more...]
Louis OP Style and New Years Good Luck Charm
I opened up my email today to see this... Dear friend Kecia rang in the new year in PARIS (yes we all wanna be her!!!) and as she and her GI JOE hubby were taking a stroll through the streets, this dancing cuddly couture bear caught their eye, especially his (she trained him well!). At first glance I thought, COOL!!! A polar bear on display with a Louis Vuitton bag, all surrounded by dripping leaves of gold foil. But take a closer … [Read more...]
