March Has Arrived...Spring is at our Door!!!

I'm so excited...March has finally arrived. I am so excited for Spring. I finally took my ice-skates and wooden ski's off my front porch yesterday. Time to remove the winter decor. Problem now...no cute spring decor yet. If you have any cute, budge ideas, let me know.

I saw this cute pic on Martha's site today....looks very springy and cute!


Have a great day and enjoy the 50's!!!!

The Cutest Valentine Packaging Ever!!!

I saw this idea on the Better Homes and Gardens website. All they used was a glass votive, a cupcake paper and ribbon or twine. So stinkin' cute. It makes me want to purchase some sweet little gifts just so I can wrap them up. Maybe I'll have to purchase myself something!!!:) For instructions, click here.

A Little Valentine Deliciousness!!!!

Valentines and Chocolate....nothing better!!!

Found this recipe on Country Living Magazine. Click here for the recipe. I go the semi-homemade route usually....cake mix and then follow recipe for frosting, filling, etc.

Have a delicious day!!!

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!!!!
