Share It:

First of all, let me say that this is not a sponsored post and I was not asked to review My Savvy Sister Chalk Paint Dust. I was offered a sample of the Chalk Paint Dust to try with no strings attached. I feel so strongly about this product though that I had to share my experience.

My Darling Beasts

Share It:
This will surprise you since you know I have it ALL TOGETHER all the time but this weekend my girls looked angelic in their Easter finery but behaved like apes in pink polyester. They were frilly and lacy and rustled when they walked but that was all a pretty facade. They whined, cried, fussed, fought, and basically did everything in their power to get in trouble and no amount of white tights and sparkly new shoes could cover it all up. 


Hard-Boiled Egg Recipes!

Share It:

I bet I know what is lurking in your fridge right now. Eggs. Specifically, ones of the dyed, hard-boiled variety. Me too. And yes, eating a hard-boiled egg straight after peeling with a sprinkle of salt is divine but there are other, more creative ways to get rid of all those eggs!  I bypassed the good old-almost-the-same-deviled-egg-recipes and rounded up some other ones I thought maybe a fun twist on the incredible edible egg.  And there is even one for chocolate chip cookies. no lie.


Lemon Cream Cookie Cups--Easter Dessert

Share It:

What are you serving for Easter this year?  I don't know what I'm making for the main course but I knew I wanted something lemony and fresh for dessert. So I fiddled in the kitchen a bit and came up with a sweet and tart dessert that I call Lemon Cream Cookie Cups.

Also, I'm receiving so many wonderful comments and questions from you all!  I love reading them and I get so sad when I'm unable to respond because a commenter is either annonymous or a no-reply commenter. If you check your settings and find you are either of these, that is why I can't contact you back. I'd really like to! Thanks to everyone who stops by to read this blog and to comment on it as well!

Share It:

One of the most frequent questions I get from readers is about my painted countertops.  How do they hold up?  How durable are they? Do they scratch?
