Gone are the days of blah aprons. Looking cute in the kitchen is totally possible, and you have so many options nowadays! One of my absolute FAVORITE online places to shop for cute aprons now is Flirty Aprons. Oh. My. Word. I could rave endlessly about my new apron! You know how some aprons sag on you or just make you look wider than you are? You wont find that with Flirty Aprons it must be the way they design them. Mine looks awesome on me! Really, I dont even mind telling you how awesome I look in it. 😉 Okay, let me show you: I know, I know, thats just the top half, but Ill have to get a full-apron photo later. Why I ADORE Flirty Aprons: Theyre cute, modern, and fashionable. Theyre SO comfortable, easy to adjust the first time and you dont need to keep readjusting. Flirty…
Im not picky about how she eats them. 😉
Treat your ears to somethin SWEET with chicBuds wireless headset! If I had known that wireless bluetooth headsets came in such cute-tech packages, I would have looked into getting one of these sooner! And, believe it or not, it looks even better in person. 🙂 I should know ChicBuds sent me one of these little babies a month ago. Boy, did I enjoy testing it out! As a mom of a toddler who constantly runs from one thing to the other, I hardly thought I had time to just get on the phone and chat with my friends. The PinkTooth, however, makes that possible! After two hours of charging, my PinkTooth was ready to go! 🙂 Heres what I like about it: It fits comfortably into my ear It works with all bluetooth-enabled cell phones (even mine from the dark ages!) Up to six hours of talking time (woo hoo!)…
As Ive grown and met many different kinds of people in different churches across the US, Ive noticed that everyone seems to have a different view of God. This is sad in many cases. For me, He has seemed to change as Ive grown up, though that isnt the truth, of course. Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages). Hebrews 13:8 When I was a kid, God was like my daddy I had a great daddy who loved me and my sister to pieces, so it wasnt hard for me to accept that God was my Father who loved and cared about me. It was a very simple faith, a childs faith, and it lasted all the way up into my late teens. I trusted Him. When I was about 20, we moved across the country and started looking for a…
How sweet is the name of this album? What mommy doesnt want a great collection of little ditties for their itty bitty? I listened to this entire CD full of cheerful, uplifting, toe-tapping songs with my 21-month-old toddler, Emma, and we both loved it! I especially loved it because of my daughters rapt attention. She kept looking over toward the CD player (as if there is something to see, lol) and rocked from her tiptoes back down to the flats of her feet in rhythm with the music. Her way of dancing and enjoying the music. I think this album is a treasure. This morning, Emma went from her usual destroying of the house (her daily ritual pull all of her toys out and leave them on the floor for easy access) to this fun dance, and then sat on the couch and calmly played with a piece of colorful…
I grew up with Mickey and Minnie Mouse I loved them as a kid, and still love them. You really cant beat this classic pair when it comes to cheerful animated entertainment, can you? Oh, and we mustnt leave out Donald and Daisy Duck, Pluto, Goofy, and the other stars weve come to love! They are simply the best. I was completely new to Disneys Mickey Mouse Clubhouse series for kids before watching Minnies Bow-Tique, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it is perfect for my toddler! All of the characters are as cute as ever, but now in a colorful 3-D presentation that is sure to delight. About the DVD: Minnie is opening her own Bow-Tique, a place where all of her friends can come and buy beautiful bows. But these bows arent just another pretty accessory they are special. For instance, one type will grow larger (just…
I had a sore throat and felt a cold coming on yesterday, so, since I was laid up on the couch anyway, I decided it was the perfect time to pull out my crochet needles and yarn. I like working on small projects, so I went with crocheted flowers, and I also tried my hand at a ribbon flower. Im not too impressed with the results so far, but with a little practice I know Ill get better at them. I also am making crocheted hearts like this one: The above photo is from Skip to My Lou I also used her wonderful crochet heart pattern to make mine. 🙂 There are so many things you can do with these hearts! Stitch them to a onesie or t-shirt, make a garland, stitch them to a hat the possibilities are endless and they are super easy to make! I took photos…
One of the things Ive loved about moving from Blogger to WordPress are the WordPress plugins. There is an area in your WordPress dashboard dedicated to adding new plugins that will improve your blog so much better (and easier) than anything Blogger has to offer! Although organizing and choosing your plugins can seem daunting at first, you catch on to how it works pretty quickly, and really appreciate the options youre given to customize your website. So here they are the WordPress plugins I cant live without (not in any particular order): Akismet The most-downloaded comment spam plugin. It does an awesome job of catching spam before it gets through and putting it in your moderation queue for you. CommentLuv I have a great fondness for this one. It gives the commenter the option of leaving a link to their last blog post underneath their comment. I love that it…
I am woman, a lover of beautiful things. A woman who feels the urge to stop and dawdle through the cases of shiny jewelry while shopping. I cannot pass unheeded the shop full of silvery prettiness while making my way through our local mall. I love jewelry! I have to admit, though, that I have a special fascination for silver and titanium jewelry that is handmade. Many times over the past year you could find me dreamily perusing handcrafted jewelry found on Etsy, adding things to my wishlist left and right. Then I found a wonderful place that promised to make my dreams come true Im loving Renaissance Fine Jewelry for three specific reasons: 1. Everything in their online store is absolutely gorgeous! Their photography really brings out the beauty of the handmade pieces, too. 2. Everything is very affordable I kept thinking, Can I really have a beautiful ring…
