Happy Easter & A Fat Check
Happy Easter everyone! I was going to post yesterday, but I was getting a “server rejected” notice from Blogger last night for every picture I tried to upload. I finally put them on my website and grabbed them from there, since it’s still not working this morning. Don’t “they” know we have to blog AND […]
Thursday Finds & My Space
Thursday was my day to take a trip down to Lucketts to refill my pavilion. When I have a chance to be out of the house sans kids, I have to try to eek out a stop at an antique store. Here are some things I found… Antique European grain sacks (I actually bought these […]

Scentsy Giveaway!
A part of having a beautiful home is creating a space that appeals to all of the senses. It looks great, feels comfy and inviting, sounds soothing (or lively), and smells yummy. I love the smell of fresh baked cookies, homemade apple pie and soup bubbling on the stove, but if I cooked like that […]
