The weather today so far is gorgeous. I think it is the nicest day this Spring. Our Earth Day is going to be spent together around the yard. Yesterday we pulled out all of our outdoor furniture and toys and got them all ready so today can be spent just enjoying everything. Our daughter doesn’t Continue reading →

20120415-153503.jpg

With iPhones, laptops and iPads so easily available, the art of ‘writing’ is slipping away. The enjoyment that comes from putting pen to paper is being overlooked. If you received a hand written letter from someone in the mail tomorrow, would it catch you off guard? Paper Mate has released its new line, InkJoy. The Continue reading →

Just over a month ago I got a crash course in an illness called Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (not to be confused with Hoof & Mouth disease which is very serious).

No Bake Pineapple Cheesecake #LMDConnector

20120408-151358.jpg

My mom used to make this recipe when I was younger and I haven’t had it in about 20 years. I came across her recipe and made a couple of small changes to it. My 3.5 year old helped me do everything (except use the mixer) and we had it last night as the dessert Continue reading →

I have a guilty pleasure I haven’t shared here yet. I love makeup and beauty products and I can spend hours in stores like Sephora just looking around and checking out all of the various products. The art of taking care of my skin through pampering, then showing it off with makeup gives me a Continue reading →

KeepCup – The First Barista Standard Reusable Cup

TBD_Keep_Cup

I love my coffee. I love my coffee shops. I don’t love getting the disposable cup, drinking a coffee in 30 – 60 minutes, then throwing out the cup. Okay, I make sure that the cup is recycled anyway, but it still uses up a lot of additional resources to turn it in to something Continue reading →
