Fall Decor

This weekend I was putting up the last of my Fall/Thanksgiving decor and my mantle seemed like it needed some candles. However the mantle is really skinny so I dont have many options...then I remebered I bought some candles the other day at the dollar store. Then I found some yellow and orange dolies that I also picked up at the dollar store, add a little mod podge and I have fall candles.



Tada!

Sunday Sweet's

This weekend the weather in CA went from warm and sunny to cold and rainy, perfect time to put my oven to work, and I was feeling like a really good wife so I baked hubby two treats.

First Sweet is a little something I dreamed up chocolate cupcakes and marshmellow cream filling. They are made to look and taste just like a hostess cupcake!

After 20 minutes of cooling a little vanilla frosting on the top and viola!

Mmmmm Hubby Approved!

Second Sweet my hubby loves breakfast muffins and  chocolate chip cookies so I made a Chocolate Chip Muffin. I wish I could take credit for this amazing idea but its Betty Crocker!

Purple Nailpolish

Today I was looking thru my nailpolish drawer ( yes an entire drawer) which I think most girls can relate to....most especially my friend alyssa. Anyway I came across a color I have never used before "moonstruck" and just as I was about to toss it ( something you should know about me I hate the color purple on me I don't own anything purple on other people no problem) I decided I would try it anyway...tada! I love it....

Picture makes the color a litte more grey then purple but I think thats why I love it!

I absolutely LOVE fall, I mean I REALLY LOVE fall, and I love when my house is decorated with fall stuff. It gets me in the mood for comfort food, soups, football, baking, pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks (not to mention I love when the holiday cups come out), pumpkin candles, cooler weather, scarves, boots and most of all Thanksgiving....awe I can already taste the food and desserts, I cannot wait! I love everything about fall and I also love this Fall subway art from Eighteen25 blog. You can download all the rest of their subway arts for all seasons here.

Happy Fall everyone, I hope this season is a great one for all of you!

The inspiration for this new weekly Heel friday came from a fellow blogger I follow Kate from http://www.thesmallthingsblog.com/. Her blog is amazing from her hair tips and her beautiful necklaces to her daily blogs...last week or so she blogged about not saving your best outfits for the perfect day and wearing them just because...and that blog inspired me to introduce Heel Friday...why save the cutest shoes for an occasion...time to wear them just because!

Today was the first Heel friday and since it was going to be raining...I chose these really cute and totally practical booties..let me know what you think! Can't wait till next friday :P

Halloween was SO much fun this year! The kids had a blast trick or treating with their cousins, and of course Grandma sugars them up with all kinds of sweets! My mom made some fun treats this year for them so I thought I would share. Now that I have 2 pounds of candy at my house I need to figure out what to do with all of it!! Hope you all had a great Halloween too!

Till next time....

Sunday Sweet's

My Hubby has a sweet tooth and usually on sunday I bake or make something sweet for him, and I am always looking for something new and fun to make he might enjoy. This weekend I decieded to try a twist on an old favorite rice krispies treats.

The Recipe is quite simple:
1 stick of butter
1 bag of marshmellows
6 cups of cocoa krispies

Mmmmm they turned out delicious!!!!!

Now what to make for next sunday's treat???

Happy Halloween!!!

A few months ago I found this really cute frame idea on Pinterest and it seemed easy enough wiggle eyes glued to a painted plain wood frame...how hard could it be and such a cute halloween decoration. 

Four weekends and countless hours later the frame is finished 1 day before halloween...and while I must admit it did turn out super cute....unless you have alot of patience...(yes I glued each wiggle eye one by one) this is not the project for you.

Dear Daughter (or Son) Diary

I just read this post from How Does She blog about starting a "Dear Daughter Diary" (you can also do one for your son, niece nephew, grandchildren too). I think this is such a great meaningful idea. It's a diary that you and your child share and write in to each other and leave it on each other's pillows after you write in it. How great would this be as a way to let them write their thoughts down and a way to express themselves through words and a way for you as a mom to see into their lives things they might not have shared with you. In her diary she asks them open ended questions and you and them can write about anything you want. Taelor is almost 5 and soon will be able to learn to read and write and I this is one thing that I will definitely start when she does.

I loved her quote at the end of her post "There is NO WAY to be a perfect mother, but there are MILLIONS of ways to be a GREAT one!” I must remember this everyday!!
