Easter Sweets

Ok, so I love sWeeTs. You can find the coolest looking ones (in my opinion) at Easter, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day. These BuNniEs fall into that category, so I thought I would share. Then, of course there are the classic ones that have been around for a while. I think these PeEpS are just plainContinue reading “Easter Sweets”

Rip It Like A Band-Aid

I don’t know about you, but even though spring is here, I’m having a hard time mustering up the energy to do any type of spring cleaning. The weather has been great. The windows are open and a nice breeze is making its way through the house. The aroma from the lilacs my daughter pickedContinue reading “Rip It Like A Band-Aid”

To Get Out You Have To Go Through

Can I be not only honest, but also transparent here and say, I’m in a 9-month “fuNk”? Have you been there? My guess is yes, because that’s life. There are MoUnTaiNtOpS and vAlleYs and everything in BetweeN. At first you try to do everything you know to do. Maybe there is just a slight adjustmentContinue reading “To Get Out You Have To Go Through”

Goodbye Joneses! Hello Freedom!

So here’s the truth: I have never considered myself to be a very good writer. When I first started blogging (1 month ago!) it was easy to give up b/c of the following thoughts: What if people think my posts are horrible? What if someone thinks I’m not very SmArT? What if people look atContinue reading “Goodbye Joneses! Hello Freedom!”
