I love celebrating Valentines Day both with our kids and as a couple! My sweet hubby and I decided long ago that our favorite way to honor our love is to get a special date/time alone together that day in trade for all the stuffed animals and trinkets we never really know what to do with and the chocolates that we will, of course, simply eat. (and that's no help with the resolutions)  As for the kids we like to do something small but enough that they know we remembered and love them so very very much!  One of the fun things we have been doing for several years is a  Dessert With Heart/Strawberry shortcake and this year it will be expanding to dinner with a heart. I am thinking with some"hearty" mac and cheese and some "blossoming love" (either broccoli or brussel sprouts)  To make the little hearts is way simple.  Just simply cut at a diagonal and reshape to create the heart. To make "Strawberry shortcake " I use 2 T...

Char at Crap I've Made is my hero for the day!! I literally wore a pair of jeans I had "hemmed" (I use the term loosely) yesterday just not feeling great about how they are not how I want them to be and being positive that everyone was staring at my ankles where the disaster happens.  Luckily for me this will NEVER happen again because I have Char's tutorial! Check it out here! Guess what? It looks pretty easy too! Thank you Char from Crap I've Made! You ROCK!!

Hi! So, as we all know those banner/pendant thingies are WAY popular right now, and who am I to not do the popular thing? I'm hip! I'm with it! (hopefully if I say it enough it will come true LOL!! If you confess it you possess it right?  So I am confessing with the best of them!! Tee Hee!!!) ANYWHO........ I made myself one yesterday that I totally love but the great news for you is that I was shown (by my super genius husband who downloads how to do stuff like Neo in the Matrix I swear) how to cut all the triangles at once! WOOT!  Here is how easy it is.... Step 1. Cut a strip from salvage to salvage equal to the height you want your triangles to be.  I wanted mine to be 6 inches wide and 6 inches tall so I cut my strip 6 inches wide. Step 2 Fold the fabric strip accordion style (like a paper fan) equal to the width you want. Remember I wanted 6x6 so my folds were 6 inches wide. Step 3 fold the stack in half again Step 4 Cut from corner to corner lengthw...

This idea comes to you courtesy of my cute, girly girl, Lindsay.  She is in constant search of awesome hair ideas and taught me this great one!! You are going to love it! (I wish the pictures were better but at least you get the idea I hope) You can use this secret sock no bobby pin bun as a daily hair style or use it to curl you hair over night for some gorgeous waves!  PS if you are wanting to curl the hair it will need to be slightly damp when you do it. Stuff you need 1 sock (you aren't intending to wear again on your feet) items needed to make pony tail Step 1 Put your hair in a pony tail.  High on your head for curling (that way it stays out of the way while you sleep) and lower if you are wanting to wear it during the day. Step 2 Cut the toes off the sock Step 3 roll the sock into a donut Step 4 Put your pony tail through the center of the sock donut Step 5 Roll the hair around the sock donut as if you we...
