This week's "pins" are all about the kiddos.

There are a bunch of them that I'd love to make.

Floor pillows

Quiet book

Super cute felt toys

Adorable, collapsable pup-tent

Looking for lots and lots of different winter and holiday decor.

I like to decorate for the holidays with things that can be used all season.

There are so many ideas out there, it has been hard to choose just a few things.

home-made window clings

I love snowmen!

So pretty for decorating the hearth.



These would be cute as fridge magnets.

The kids could design their own snowmen on the fridge.

Super cute pillows... The stuff in the basket is cute too!

Pinterest is an Addiction

I am so over-whelmed!

Pinterest is absolutely amazing! If you haven't heard of it, you should really check it out.

I have created 27 different "pin" boards.

There are so many ideas, I didn't know where to begin!

So what did I do? I followed my tummy and started with the food.

There are so many amazing recipes that people have posted somewhere on the web and people have pinned them and I have re-pinned some of them.

I started out with a recipe that my own mom made when we were kids.

Saltine Cracker Toffee

You are probably thinking it sounds kinda yucky, but seriously, this stuff if awesome!

Think sweet and salty... oh and chocolate!

Next came Texas Roadhouse Butter

Now, I have never been to the Texas Roadhouse restaurant, but from all the reviews and of course the ingredients, how could one possibly go wrong with this stuff?!?

I mixed it all up and put it in jars for Christmas gifts!

Yes, I did taste test it and let me say, it would make french toast so tastey you'd probably want to make it every day!



One-eyed Pirates

My son loves it when I get up and make these for him for breakfast before school.

I have to admit though, they are pretty fun to eat!

And last but definitely NOT least...so far anyway...

Chocolate covered Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

These things are AWESOME!

I decided to make these for the Christmas celebrations that we will be attending this weekend.

Unfortunately, I don't know that they are going to make it to the weekend.

The best thing about these babies is that they are egg-less.

That's right, no risk of salmanella.

I even found that you can whip up a batch and put it in freezer bags and use it as an ice cream mix in when you get that "hankerin" for cookie dough ice cream!

It is really fun to try out these new recipes!

I have three more planned for our Christmas celebrations, so I will write about those after we get to try them out.

Eventually, I will get to some of the DIY and decorating pin boards.

Happy Pinning!!!

I tried it out... And I liked it!!!

Well, I did try this stuff out. It's not too bad! I'm trying to give up most of my caffeine consumption, and this may be a good substitute and a great way for me to get in my vitamin D and Calcium. It is kinda sweet, so not something I would drink all day. Maybe a good wake-up drink.

No Motivation

I am so un-motivated! This stinking cast has me so bummed. The good thing? I get it off on Wednesday and I am seriously looking forward to it!!! christmas gifts are slowly being bought and wrapped. All of the kids are done, but we have a few more things to pick up for our own kids. The adult's gifts are nearly finished up, just need a few more things. Then the big thing is all of the cleaning so the house is presentable and not a total disaster on Christmas Eve and Day. I m trying very hard to be relaxed, but it is beginning to prove to be difficult. Hopefully without this stinking cast on my leg things will change up a bit.

Since I've been laid up with my foot in a cast,Ii've been stuck at home and all I think about is FOOD!

A very bad thing, since I cannot workout and have to sit on my rear all day, every day.

I've been wanting to attempt a few recipes that I found on Pinterest...

Here they are!

The best breadsticks ever!!! Well, aside from Fazoli's.

Who wouldn't want to try this stuff from Harry Potter...just once?

If you've never had this stuff, you really need to! My husband doesn't like sweets, but he likes this stuff. He says it reminds him of a Heath Bar.

I may be making this stuff for Christmas gifts.

German pancakes made in a muffin tin.

Oh so yummy! these are going to happen for Christmas morning!

Today I had to do a new fashion post!

Ever since my husband was asked to be in one of his buddy's wedding in 2012, I have been trying to figure out what I will wear so I will look good next to him in his tuxedo.

I found the perfect outfit!

Now, I will just have to find all of the pieces!

On to some other fashion ideas I am totally in love with!

Someday, the hubby and I will build our "dream house" on an acreage close to where I grew up.

I have been perusing the web looking for different things that I like and would love to have in our future house. Sure, some of them are kind of rediculous and would probably get a VETO from him, but a girl can dream. Right?



Isn't this the most unique bookshelf ever?

Check out this wine cellar. This may be something that WILL NOT get nixed when we build a new home!

I LOVE this bathroom! Seriously, what's not to love about it?

 These colors are so fresh and clean!

Granted our boxer may not live long enough to get one of these, but we will probably have other dogs with hip problems in the future. This would eliminate the need to jump up onto the bed.
