Earth Day 2013

April 20, 2013 by A Pinterest Addict 1 Comment

In a world going a little bit crazy right now, I've been trying my best to think of something I could do to make our planet a better place. Besides praying like mad for the families of those affected by the Boston Marathon bombings and the whole community of West, TX, and practicing a few random acts of kindness (all of which made me feel a little less hopeless and heartbroken about current events in our country), I couldn't come up with anything spectacular. I was feeling a little overwhelmed … [Read more...]

Pins I’ve Tried: S’more Croissants

November 13, 2012 by A Pinterest Addict 6 Comments

Although I'm not posting as much as I used to, it's not because I haven't been trying new pins. In fact, I've been putting a lot of pins to the test lately while I'm trying to get ready for the 20 or so people that are coming for Thanksgiving. I love having my family together for the holidays, but I always want my home to look great. Therefore, I spend a few weeks beforehand trying to finish all the little projects I've been putting off. Do you do that too? Please tell me you do, then I'll feel … [Read more...]

Pins I’ve Tried: Homemade Deodorant

October 19, 2012 by A Pinterest Addict 3 Comments

Hi there! Long time, no post, huh? Sorry about that. It's been a crazy, overwhelming month and I just couldn't do much more than get through it as best as I could. But I do have lots of projects that I am going to be sharing - including our new master bathroom!! It's about 90% complete, but I fear if I wait to show you until it's 100% done, it will be old by then. I plan on taking some pictures today and getting the post ready this week. Sorry for the delay, but you are going to be amazed at the … [Read more...]

Pins I’ve Tried: Easy Cinnamon Bun Waffles

June 8, 2012 by A Pinterest Addict 6 Comments

I have the tendency to buy tubes of cinnamon buns, and then forget about them. I have grand ideas of how they will be the perfect addition to Sunday morning, while we bond over breakfast on the patio... but instead, they sit in the fridge, usually until it's time to clean it out, and then I see that they have either passed their expiration date, or that they are almost there. This morning I found two tubes that had a few weeks before they were ready for the trash, and feeling in the mood for … [Read more...]

My Daughter’s 18th Birthday

April 3, 2012 by A Pinterest Addict 8 Comments

My daughter turned 18 the other day. To be honest, the idea of her being an "adult" both terrifies and excites me. I can't get over that my baby is old enough to vote, buy lottery tickets and make her own decisions, etc. I see her making plans for someday moving out, and it brings me to tears. I know it's such an exciting time in her life and I'm happy to see what a fabulous person has grown into, and I know she will do great things, but she is still my "baby" and always will be. I guess the … [Read more...]

Chocolate Cake for Breakfast!

February 11, 2012 by A Pinterest Addict 9 Comments

On Thursday evening my family went to an awards ceremony for my daughter. She won a Gold Key award for a story she wrote, and they were honoring the winners. We are insanely proud of her :) After the awards ceremony, we went to dinner at Outback to celebrate. We tried their new desert, an Oreo waffle sunday sort of thing. The waffle was chocolate and tasted suspiciously like cake, topped with caramel sauce, a few crushed up Oreo cookies, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Ever since then, … [Read more...]

My week in review…

January 19, 2012 by A Pinterest Addict 8 Comments

Things have been a little quiet around here in terms of projects. I know, shocking, right? Well, to be honest, I've been kind of stuck in a rut on a couple of things. Like what to paint on this cute little cabinet now that the base paint is done. It's now painted a beautiful shade of Night Tide, by Rustoleum. Love the color, it's yummy! I would love to do something like this - as recommended by Melinda. Isn't it the cutest? But I'm hesitant because I'm afraid of committing to a … [Read more...]

Tasty Tuesday – Pumpkin Dump Cake

November 15, 2011 by A Pinterest Addict 3 Comments

I am finally feeling better after almost two weeks of having a crazy cold that wouldn't go away. Actually, it seems that a lot of things have had me all messed up lately- computer was in the shop, had to replace my iphone, and someone rear-ended my car and it's been in the shop for the last week. Although I was not updating the blog, I wasn't completely slacking! Let's start with last Wednesday... Because I missed Tasty Tuesday last week, on Wednesday I tried this pin. (click on the pic to … [Read more...]

Tasty Tuesday… Not :(

November 8, 2011 by A Pinterest Addict Leave a Comment

My day started with backing up my entire computer so I could take it to the Apple store for some work. Backing up took HOURS! I have a bazillion pics on it and backing them all up was a pain in the tush. When I explained the problem to the Apple Genius (it always makes me laugh to call them that) I thought it was going to be an easy-peesy fix and I would be coming home with my iMac all fixed up and pretty. Uhm...Not so much. It's going to be DAYS before I can pick it up! Egads! I then spent … [Read more...]
