« Previous EntriesSelling Cheap!
Thursday, July 31st, 2008We were over at our old house last week stealing one of the window air conditioners that we purchased when we lived there. Our new house has central air, but it just doesn’t get upstairs to my bedroom, and I can’t sleep in the heat. When we moved out of the house we [...]
The Family Room
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008We haven’t lived in this house very long, but I’m already looking at some ceiling light fixtures. That is the one room in the house where there are NO lights! I hate it. We have lamps in the room, but it just doesn’t do it for me. Plus, there is only one [...]
My Poor Face
Sunday, July 27th, 2008I have worked really hard to avoid most of the things I eat in a given day! Sugars and soda’s are some of the causes of problematic acne. Sadly, nothing has helped! Mine is completely affected by hormones, and they seem to be out of whack! I have the face of [...]
More To Florida Than Mickey!!
Monday, July 21st, 2008I’ve never had the chance to visit Florida. We keep throwing the idea out for a family vacation, but there just never seems to be enough money to really make the plans. We’ve talked to the kids about the possibility of heading south and they are thrilled…3 of the 4 are even happy [...]
Strawberry Shortcake!!
Monday, July 21st, 2008My husband’s birthday is coming up this Friday. He’ll be 38! Nothing to huge in the world of birthday’s, but always something fun to celebrate with the kids. Sadly, his last day of vacation is Wednesday and he will be back to work by his birthday. I was trying to decide [...]
Modern Conveniences!!
Monday, July 21st, 2008We took a trip back to our old house today. I was stealing one of the air conditioning units we bought for the windows when we lived there. We have central air conditioning, but our room on the top floor seems to always be hot! So I brought this in to help [...]
Needing My Boy To Grow…
Monday, July 21st, 2008I have never had a young, pre-adolescent boy before. My 10 year old is my oldest and is posing some interesting questions in my life. He’s a little rounder than I was thinking he should be. He has always had a tendency to grow ‘out’ just before he grows ‘up’. But [...]
Go Cubs Go!!
Friday, July 18th, 2008I was born and raised in Utah! The closest we got to baseball was a very, VERY minor league team. They’ve been renamed so many times, I don’t even know what they are called. After I married a “Chicago” man we moved to Arizona. Finally a chance for some real Major [...]
Some Of My Favorites!!
Thursday, July 17th, 2008When there is something you love to do, it’s funny how you love to see how other people do it. Nothing stops my net surfing faster than a site full of decorated cakes.
Trying to figure out if it’s possible to recreate these cakes on my own gets my creative blood pumping!
I’m amazed at the time [...]
Beautiful Clocks!!
Thursday, July 17th, 2008I grew up around clocks. My dad worked for the most upscale jewelry company (next to Tiffany’s) and he was always bringing my mom home gifts. Some of my favorite were the clocks. There were little crystal clocks all the way up to an ornate Grandfather clock. I guess you could [...]
The County Fair!
Thursday, July 17th, 2008We are heading to the fair today. I’m kind of excited because I haven’t been to the fair since I was 4 years old and my 2 year old brother got lost. My sister in law wins Dutch Oven cook offs at the Utah State Fair, and brings home amazing prizes. Is that at every [...]
After A Year…
Thursday, July 17th, 2008This is our house. We’ve lived in it almost a year. The first thing I ever wanted to change on it were the light peachy exterior shutters. They are just so bland, they blend into the background. There are two other problems with them. First, do you see that big [...]
The BEST Cheesecake!!
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008My husband’s birthday is a week from Friday. You’ve heard me talk about the fact that I’m tempted to make him a Harley Davidson cake. Not a molded cake, just a sheet cake with a picture. While I was online today looking for inspiration I found the cutest cake ever! No [...]
38 Is Coming!!
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008My husband’s birthday is coming up on the 25th of July. Sadly, it’s the day after his vacation ends, so we’ll have to celebrate early. Normally I don’t mind except this year, it’s kind of snuck up on me. He’s never helpful when you ask him what he wants for his birthday, [...]
A New Creation!!
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008My three year old has come up with his own dessert idea. Creative…not necessarily new, but fun to see him getting crafty.
To make the castle cake I needed two round cakes and two different kinds of ice cream cones. Since I was sick and didn’t frost the cakes–I was left with everything to make the [...]
