PSA: 3 Days to make your Valentine's!!

By
OK......it's that time! If you haven't done it...you're cutting it close! Even the pickings in the heart filled aisles are getting slim. If you have followed the blog you know I never met a project I didn't like....especially when it comes to my lovies....my Goddaughters!! Those two bring out the extra sass.in me...not that I need any more!! So last year Sydney went to school with the "you got the "write" stuff valentines! So cute!! You can check them out here: http://realtalknic.blogspot.com/2013/02/love-is-in-details.html

This year....well it's double trouble! That little one....Ladybug Lauryn has a class of her own! OH BOY!!

So it has to be easy and it has to be cute and well a low price wouldn't hurt!! So PINNEDIDIT again!!
Easy breezy covergirl! Take a pic....jazz it up with Picmonkey (http://www.picmonkey.com/) add a blow pop and you are done! Isn't she the cutest?
Lollipop is placed with hole punch directly above the hand!!

Now for my girl Sydney.......she is eight so it can't be "baby".......omg I am going to need therapy!!Went with some on hand stationary......a fun 8 year old artsy heart and because candy is so two years ago... heehee added a woven bracelet...and you will "knot" believe how cute! Woop! Check it out:

Since she is older she will hand write the names on the envelopes. I snuck some heart stickers in her card from me just in case....I don't know....maaaaaybe she will want to add her own decorations. heehee!

And because I do believe love is in the details.......I embellished and personalized a matching carry bag for her to take the cards to school in style! Woop! Of course I had this bag in my bag of bags (do you have one of these? LOL) and a lil love and a few stickers and I love it! Perfect match!


You still have a few days.....but not many! GET BUSY! Even if you are reading this thinking.....who has all of that time (not me....these were quick) and you just buy a pack of cards and call it a day......take some time to make it fun. This will be over soon and Valentine's Day will mean break ups and heartache or agony over what to buy and geez.......it's coming. But now......glitter rules! Bows and ribbon are good things! A few stickers and you are A FRIGGIN ROCKSTAR!! That time at the table should be stress free......who cares if the writing isn't just so.....add some color....use crayons or markers.....just MAKE IT FUN!

It is Valentine's day after all.....and who do you love? The kiddies!!! I know I do.....and my Goddaughters think I am a bit extra...and love every bit of it.....and when they are older I hope that "extra" is just what keeps them talking to me when this holiday takes a turn for the .........worse!!! And they no longer bring in classroom treats and it's all just so serious.  For now..........we are ready! Real talk! Happy Heart Day!

Cracked, Jacked Ottoman is now Newest Addition to the Family Room! Check her out!

By
Ok peeps....my neck and arm feel like they may be forever in pain but I think it was worth it! The family room ottoman is complete!!! Woop! Before I give you the deets......a lil background... I hate replacing things I already have! Oil changes and air filter replacements? HATE! New tires? HATE! It feels like such an investment for something you already have.....I know....gotta do it but I hate it! So after 7 years my beloved (and expensive) leather topped ottoman had started to peel. Yup. Nasty! I ignored this for a few months. Even pushed her into the corner for my annual Christmas Eve party. (Nobody puts baby in the corner!!!!) Then as it started to really bother me I started looking for a new table. Problem was.....I really like the one I have! Of course I find one that is out of this world fabulous! This baby here can be yours for $1600. Even if I hit the lottery I wouldn't pay $1600 for a coffee table. (OK, let's be serious....if I hit the lottery that scrumptious...

Experience is your best Teacher!

By
Every time my kids do something that raises my eyebrows or that I know is a mistake my husband will always say, "Experience will be their best teacher!" As much as I hate to agree with him, he is right. I started thinking a lot about this saying and decided to shift some of my own habits. If experience is your best teacher, well......I needed to focus on creating more of them. Now more than ever I realize the importance of spending time and doing things not just having things. This is a difficult task for me, I mean, I still count the number of gifts under the Christmas tree to make sure there is even distribution. Ha! But really, shirts shrink, and flowers fade....but the memories of a great experience last forever! Imagine my delight when I was given an Appetizing Adventure, Experience Day as a gift from my fantastic work team. It was like the universe talking to me. Oh boy! You can grab a gift for someone, like yourself here! So on the rainiest day ever (ok, maybe ...
