Those of us lucky enough to have a father in our lives are blessed, and with Father’s Day on Sunday, June 21st, it’s time to celebrate fathers everywhere! My father doesn’s ask for much, but I love to bake him a special cake and show him how much I love and appreciate him by making him something from the heart! For instance, check out this cute, and easy-to-make Father’s Day cake (We Like to Learn as We Go) and this DIY Scrabble picture frame (Folksy). And if you’re need ideas for quick and easy gifts, or DIY gift ideas, Lil […]
Summer Fashion: Make It Your Own
“Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.” – Gianni Versace I’m not one for trends. I like the trends, but they don’t always like me or my body shape. So Gianni Versace was right when he said “don’t make fashion own you.” I dress for comfort and for the way I live. I wear scrubs every day, so when it’s time to go out, I like to dress up and wear high heels. But with summer right […]

My Week in Pins – Elephants
I know what you’re saying… elephants? Yes. They are strong, beautiful creatures. Have you seen Water for Elephants, starring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson? If you haven’t, it is really a beautiful movie. But that’s not my point. Robert Pattinson cares for the elephant in a traveling circus and Reese trains and has an act featuring that strong, beautiful elephant. Anyway, here are the elephants… (Note: All pins are from Pinterest, and the original source has been cited.) When I saw this photo for the first time, I will admit it made me a little sad. Surely they can make an […]
My Week in Pins – Wreaths
I love making wreaths for Christmas and the winter holiday season. For me it’s rather relaxing and it taps into the creative side of my brain. So this week in pins, I thought I’d do two things: (1) show off a few of the great wreaths I found on Pinterest; and (2) show you how easy it is to make your own wreath! First up are a couple of wreaths I found – yes, on Pinterest – but more importantly, they are also on Esty and are available for purchase. This lime green feather wreath with red ball ornament details […]
