Happy Mother’s Day to all of you! My Mother’s Day started out with a gourmet breakfast made by my two oldest girls. This week has been a particularly pleasant one, with lots of special mom and kid time. What memories have you been making this week?
What Makes a Perfect Mother’s Day Gift?
Tuesday, May 8, 2012 By 5 Comments
Mother’s Day is coming in just a few days, and this year my husband has even more pressure to make the day special as he’ll be spending the day with TWO of the mothers in his life: me, the mother of his children, and his own mother. I think I’ve talked about the fact that [...]
Doctor Who Tardis Egg – Wordless Wednesday
Tuesday, April 24, 2012 By 17 Comments
My almost-13-year-old daughter, Necco, is a huge DR WHO fan (so is my 15 year old daughter, who by the way, claimed she was going to marry David Tennant until his recent birthday made him older than her dad). Necco is also an artist, and her current craze is turning everything (like her Kindle case [...]

Can you tell by my 365 photos from this week that we’ve been getting ready for Easter and spending lots of extra time together? It’s been a great week, with plenty of chocolate, jelly beans, and cousin bonding. Two more days til I head to Disney World!!
Easter Egg Topiary – My Current Craft Project
Friday, April 6, 2012 By 3 Comments
I saw some adorable table-top jelly bean topiaries at a dinner my daughters and I attended last month. As I was decorating my house for Easter this week, I thought of those topiaries and wondered if I could make a large topiary with plastic Easter Eggs. I figured it was worth a try. Here’s who [...]
Think Spring! Decorating for Easter #KmartEaster
Friday, April 6, 2012 By 3 Comments
I cook up a MEAN holiday dinner. Ask my sister (the only one who lives on the East Coast, that is) and all of my brothers in law. I know how to set out a delicious smelling and delicious tasting spread. I do not, however, know much about decorating. Despite the fact that I do [...]

Please don’t be jealous. I have the best mom in the world. I would celebrate her every day if I could. I just wish that we lived closer together so that we could capture MORE memories like these. Mother’s Day will be here before you know it. Have you started planning for this year’s [...]
Make a Gourmet Meal from Leftovers #EasterMeals
Monday, April 2, 2012 By 2 Comments
It really is incredible how good bread can dress up a meal, and how WARM bread can make a good meal great. I regularly feed my family leftovers, but I rarely do much more than stick the dish on the kitchen counter with a stack of plates, a serving spoon, and an open microwave. I [...]
Mother’s Day Wish List – Fine Jewelry Window Shopping #CBias
Sunday, March 18, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Besides my wedding ring, the only pieces of fine jewelry that I own are a Wedgewood necklace I got in England in the mid 1990s, a single pearl necklace that CandyMan bought me for Mother’s Day many years ago (I am hoping that it’s just misplaced and not REALLY lost), and a five-diamond anniversary band [...]
