{How To} Clean Pen off Microfiber

Buying a microfiber couch was probably one of the smartest things my husband and I did when we moved into our house 5 years ago. This was well before we were even thinking about kids, so high-5 to us make such a conscience and adult like decisions! Truth be told, I just liked the color and style of the couch, could have cared less what the fabric it was! Fast forwad 5 years and 2 kids later, that couch has had pretty much everything you could think of spilled on it. So when my 1 year old decided that the couch…

Frozen Snow Globe Craft For Kids

  If you have a young child, chances are they are slightly obsessed with Disney’s Frozen. My daughter has shirts, socks, books, hair bows, pajamas – you name it, we have it. The movie plays on a loop on any given day. My 3 year old will bust out with ‘Let it Go’ in the middle of Publix. Yeah, slightly obsessed. So on days when we are stuck in the house due to Baby O’s nap schedule, I like to have arts and crafts handy to keep her occupied. I had a bunch of glitter and bought some snowflake confetti…

Meatless Friday’s: Crab Cake Sandwiches

0
Posted by in March, Recipes

The last meatless Friday of Lent – had to go out with a bang! I have been craving Maryland-style crab cakes. Anything Maryland-style is good in my book. I lived there for 7 years and have had an obsession with old bay and blue crabs ever since. There’s one restaurant that I usually go to when I am feigning those spicy bad boys, but i didn’t feel like taking the 40 minute hike up north to West Palm, so I put on the chef’s hat and went to work. I whipped up some pan fried crab cake sandwiches last week…

Home Office Basics

Posted by in March

My husband recently began working from home. He is in the Email Marketing field, and unlike blogging, you need more than just a 13-inch lap top and a kitchen table to get your stuff done! Gah! So we needed to figure out a way to make him a home office in our 3 bedroom townhouse. It may not sound as difficult as I think it was, but when every room is pretty much filled with furniture, the thought of plopping a desk and chair in one was like playing a game of Tetris. So how do we make room for…

DIY Herb Planter

Posted by in August

With my growing affinity for cooking, I’ve come to desire fresh herbs in my dishes as opposed to dried. They truly give your meals the extra flavor it needs to really make those taste buds dance. I figured it was about time that I got my own little herb garden going. My back yard is what some might call fugly. All we have is a BBQ out there; very grim. I needed some plants and flowers to spruce it up. I didn’t want to spend butt loads of money on a specially designed planter, so I try to be as…

DIY Accessory Organization

Some people collect figurines, others may collect coins and some people collect stamps. It’s a fun thing to do until it become a problems – ahem hoarders! I haven’t gotten to that point yet but I do like collecting things…especially accessories. I have Caboodles full of old play jewelry from when I was little and jewelry boxes upon jewelry boxes full of everything from costume to my good jewelry. With all the boxes I couldn’t tell what I had so I barely wore half the accessories. I needed something to not only organize what I had but allow me to…

Throwing A Surprise Party? I’ve got some tips…

0
Posted by in June

  For almost 4 years now, my husband has made it clear to me and everyone else that no one could ever pull a surprise party off for him. He’d say how he would know all the signs and if we were ever going anywhere beginning 2 weeks before his birthday, he’d know it would be a surprise. What a pain in the ass. Back in November, I got a brilliant idea to throw him a surprise 30th party. That gave me a good 4 months to pull it together. I didn’t know what I was in store for. All…
