You know you haven’t blogged in a while when…

…your browser doesn’t remember the link to your admin panel anymore :(

We had our usual autumn round of the plague (random colds), but this last one lasted a bit longer than the rest. One week followed another, then came Halloween, Thanksgiving, and now we’re coming up on Christmas – where does the time go?

Well, pinterest for one. I have been a pinning fool, but I have been making things too! We tried this FABULOUS broccoli recipe last night, and I have to say – it IS fabulous. My oldest was scarfing it out of the roasting pan before I could get it on the table.

Maybe it’s just that time of year, but I have been downloading organizing tips/ideas like crazy. Calendars, home work areas, control zones…when (if) I decide on something I will update it here.

I did a TON of cooking at thanksgiving – made everything except the pie!

My favorite this year (besides the turkey and cranberries, which ocean spray takes total credit for), was my stuffing:

It’s half regular and half cornbread stuffing, celery, onions, chopped up granny smith apples, sausage and dried cranberries. It was so yummy – I will be making it this way from now on! I will make a formal recipe to post here :)

I have just about wrapped up my design work for the year, but I will be taking on new projects in the new year and will be launching a new site with my friend Kristin with printables, premade blog bling, and themes, and still doing custom work as well – drop me a line if you would like more information!

I am going to try to keep the pinterest carnival going – post about the pins you have done and link to them here on thursday!

Pin it, Do it, Share it

Welcome to the first week of Pin it Thursday! I hope you all had fun choosing something from your boards to do this week. I was an over-acheiver this week – I did 2!

My first pin I did was to make taco seasoning – we have tacos at least every other week, so this is a BIG money saver for us. This is a great recipe and tastes even better than store bought!

Next I got some more life out of my swiffer wet jet by using this tutorial from Lifehacker- I love my swiffer, but that liquid never lasts long, and I guess it never occurred to them to make refills or even a refillable container. (ps – I also make my own swiffer pads)

Shop for Sharlie

One of my favorite people from blissdom this past year was Jessica from Allora handmade – not only is she talented and gorgeous, she has a generous heart and a wonderful sense of humor. She and Maya made a flight from Nashville to Salt Lake City one of the most interesting I’ve ever had (although our fellow passengers might not have thought so – I don’t think we stopped talking the whole way there!)

Recently jessica asked for some help for a friend of hers and I knew I had to help. Now I’m asking for yours…

 

 

This is Sharlie.
Sharlie is a wife and mom.
She loves to read.
She loves to laugh.
She has an infectious smile.
And the best hugs on the planet.
Sharlie is also awaiting a double lung AND heart transplant.
She is an inspiration.
A fighter.
A miracle.
Jessica (one of Sharlie’s best friends) and Mique reached out to the creative community to come up with a way to raise funds for her impending medical bills. They created a Shop for Sharlie- full of tutorials, printables, and advertising opportunities. Every single dollar raised will go straight to Sharlie’s Angels. So shop ’til your heart is content. And in return it will help Sharlie get her new heart.

So I made a poster in 3 different color schemes – it’s 8×10, ready to frame and has some of the things our family value and love…

 

 

And here’s a bonus for you – if you buy anything from the shop, come back here and leave a comment with what you bought – I will draw a name and that person will win a custom poster for their home. You can choose a poster for your kids, your own family values poster, whatever you like!

XOXO
