1. Pedicures. My fabulous husband surprised me with a gift certificate for a pedicure earlier this month, which I thoroughly enjoyed cashing in. Pedicures are truly one of life’s greatest pleasures. Not my feet–but yes, my dream. 2. Outdoor dining. I love outdoor dining when the weather starts warming up, and this month I enjoyed
Pearls & Bows
I had my camera all set to snap pictures and in walked Chase–ready for her close-up! I got better shots of the outfit than these two pics, but I couldn’t resist using these ones with our little diva girl. I should’ve thrown a strand of pearls on her, too! This tank top had the bow
Needles Make Me Nauseous
A few years ago I was at my doctor’s office for a yearly physical. She gave me a clean bill of health and was about to send me on my way when she suddenly stopped and asked, “How old are you?” “Twenty-four,” I said. “Oh, okay,” she replied. “We have patients get their cholesteral levels
Spring Dress: Keep or Return?
I recently got this cute springy dress from Target but I can’t decide if I should keep it or send it back for someone 10 years younger than me to purchase. I was originally hoping to wear it to work (we have a pretty casual office), but now I think it’s too short for that.
Needless To Say
The phrase “needless to say” annoys me. Example: Last weekend we did x, y, and z. Needless to say, we’ve been busy. If something is really “needless to say” then why say it? And if you’re going to say it, then why preface it with “needless to say”? Can anyone unlock this mystery for me?
Heavenly Ring
I just picked up this Dream Angels Heavenly Bloom Ring from Victoria’s Secret, and I have to admit–it’s a little piece of heaven. It’s so pretty topped with a cluster of pearlized gold-dotted flowers, but slide that top and you’ll find a little pot of Heavenly Bloom solid perfume inside! Now I’m not going to
Bad Hair Day
I am vain. This comes as no surprise to any of you, I’m sure. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again–I already have enough of the 7 deadly sins covered that I’m not about to start pumping the brakes when it comes to vanity. Vanity which was put to the test yesterday after
Candy Apple Salad
This recipe–compliments of my sister Amy–is the perfect summer salad! It’s incredibly easy to make, and oh-so-delicious. It tastes just like a caramel candied apple! What You Need Apples Snickers Candy Bars Cool Whip Instant Butterscotch Pudding Mix Directions Chop up about 5 large, crunchy apples into bite-sized pieces. Add Snickers pieces–about 8-10 snack sized
Parade of Homes–Purple Bedrooms
This 3,908 square feet 2008 Parade home was built by Premier Builders, and is located in the Southbridge neighborhood of Waunakee, WI. I liked the colors in this room–lavender, black, white, and silver. It reminded me of my friend Allison’s guest bedroom. I wanted to steal this black & white houndstooth chair!
Would You Rather Wednesday
Our local radio station has “Would You Rather Wednesday” where they ask 2 questions, and you have to chose one or the other. I’m posing this morning’s question to all of you! Would you rather: NEVER be able to use the internet EVER AGAIN? -or- Lose an eye and have to wear an eye patch
