I made these cupcakes for my daughters 7th birthday. They were so pretty! I got the recipe from Family Fun Magazine. There were a pain in the arse to make but worth it in the end!
Aren’t they so pretty???
Head on over to I Heart Faces for some more “I Heart Desserts” Entries!
This is what happens when a hollow chocolate bunny is out in the sun for a few minutes. hee hee
For Easter this year, I splurged and got a Honey Baked Ham. I went and preordered it and was dreading having to stand in a L O N G line to pick it up because I had heard so many stories. I went on the Thursday before Easter and there were only 4 people in front on me…and those people didn’t even pre order.
We’ve never had a Honey Baked Ham before. Heard that it was REALLY good. Well, let me tell you…it WAS really good. BUT…I don’t know if it was worth the price tag good, lol. I paid $50 for the ham and a regular store bought spiral ham is what, $12? I might pay $30 for another Honey Baked but probably wouldn’t pay $50.
The ham was nice and tender and the best part was the crunchy crust on the outside…that was awesome! So I think next year, I’ll buy a store ham and try and duplicate the crunchy outside of it. =)
Hubby and I are going out tomorrow night to look at some new furniture for our livingroom. The big couch up there (plus a chair at least) is going downstairs to the newly finished basement family room.
I’m lost as to what we should get for furniture up there. I don’t think we want another sectional, at least not one with a chaise on it. I’m 
leaning towards 2 couches, putting one with the back at the front door and a nice sofa table behind it and another one directly opposite of it. They would both be on the 2 side of the entertainment unit. But what would I put near the wall where the photos are and opposite the tv?
Hubby wants a couch and a loveseat and chair with the couch where the one is now. We definitely need to get a coffee table with some storage and some side tables.
I’m just so lost with all of this. I think I might break down and hire a designer using some of our tax return money…but even then, how do you choose one? ARGH!
Roughly, this is how it is now.
The architect had it set up more this way:
Do you think this way is better? What about all the empty space at the front door???
I really just want my livingroom to look like it came out of Country Sampler magazine because I love everything in there! I’m sure I can handle the decorating…it’s the placement I’m clueless on! Anyone want to offer some help on how you’d furnish my livingroom? What pieces? What color??
I haven’t participated in a iheartfaces challenge is a long time. Saw that this week’s theme was “bundled up” so I dug through my winter pics and this one jumped out at me!
I really need to get back to taking pics of the kids…been so lazy lately! And I wish I could find some photography classes in my area…that would be great fun for me!
But anyways….head on over to i heart faces and see the other entries!
That is what I have on my fingernails. What the heck am I talking about? Well…I’ve been a nail biter for as long as I can remember. Always bit my nails (and my toe nails when I was younger..YUK!). They are always little teeny, tiny stumps for nails. No way I could paint them…they would look ridiculous!
But, I haven’t been biting them for a few weeks now. I keep putting clear nail polish on them and this awful tasting No Bite. It’s working for now. Every now and then I put them to my mouth but I’m trying *really hard* to fight the urge to chomp away and let them grow.
Last time I let them grow was for my wedding. They were so pretty. But back to stumps they went. It’s sorta funny because my nail is hitting the keyboard as I type and that never happens.
Wish me luck…we’ll see if I can actually grow my nails. Would love to be able to polish them and make them look beautiful!
Are you a former nail biter? Any tips (no pun intended) for me?
My 9 year old keeps asking for a cell phone because “all my friends have one!” I really find it hard to believe that there are a bunch of 9 year olds running around with cell phones. Or am I wrong?
I just don’t see *why* a 9 year old would need a cell phone! Maybe if they were home alone frequently or had to walk home from school…then they might need one for safety. But just for the heck of it? No way!
I tried telling him that there are plenty of reasons why he doesn’t get things that “all his other friends have” but he doesn’t see it…he just wants what they have.
What about you? Do your kids have a cell phone? What age did they get it? Why did they get it?
