Valentine Table-Scape!!!

Add some cute valentine fabric and ribbon to your table...so cute and easy!!! It just seems like after all the Christmas is packed away my kitchen table has a horrible case of the "blahs"! This will definitely liven it up!!! Almost makes me excited to make dinner(I said, "almost")!!!

Have a great day!!!

Cute and Easy Valentine Decor Idea

I ran across this cute Valentine Idea on the internet last week. I love it, because it requires no thought...we all have votives and candles lying around and we also hit the grocery store several times a week to pick up something we forgot. Or maybe you have some "non-pareils" left over from last Valentine's Day!!!

Have fun!!!!

Cute Heart Swag!

February will be upon us before we know it...

Here's a cute heart swag that looks easy to make and cute to hang just about anywhere! The girls would even have fun making their own!!!!



Heart to Heart

Make a garland of hearts cut from fabric scraps layered and attached with iron-on adhesive. Punch small holes in the sides of the hearts and tie them together with ribbon.


Have a great weekend!

Extreme MakeOver Monday

My friend and faithful blogger, Jenn did this last year and although I was inspired each time I read it....I find I must officially list my weekly goals and account for the previous week to hopefully attain some success. Hopefully this will last longer than a few weeks....maybe even into a new "lifestyle"!!! But for now I'll just take it on a week-by-week basis!!!!!

Last week was the 1st week of not only a new year, but a new decade. But what I don't want is a body that's looking a decade older!!!!!!

Last week I went running 4 days and I survived and I'm actually not hurting too bad.

This weeks goals:

Run 5 Days


Strength Training 3 Days


Drink More Water



For any of you out there that have any success tips, please share, or join in this weekly event w/me!!!! Come summer, if we've survived we'll celebrate poolside together drinking frosty DC's!!!!

Cute Display for Holiday Cards!!!!

I am always looking for ways to display the beautiful Christmas Cards I receive each year. I just saw this idea on the Martha Stewart website....I love it!!! I usually tape my cards and pics I receive on the inside of my front door, but I like this idea better!!! Looks great w/the garland too!!!



I do have to admit, this year, I am not sending out cards....no time!!! Maybe it is going to have to be an every other year thing!

But I do wish all my friends and family a wonderful and fabulous Christmas!!!!
