A Cute Twist

Our oldest niece is a doll! She just graduated from high school in May. And her idol, is Taylor Swift. Well, the rest of us don't understand it, she likes Miss Swift and her music. Not really our idea of Country Music. But well, she adores her music.

The one thing I can understand, is this dress! Our niece was showing me some pictures last week, and this one caught my eye. It's just so fresh, and classy. Something that I just adore!



Let's just say, I've got this on my radar now. This tangerine color is just amazing! And the cut of the dress, is perfection! Classic. And well, we've got some events to go to soon. This would be something I could wear. Now where do I find a reasonably priced version? A

Yum!

I'm sure, that you know about my love of Nate Berkus!! He hangs the moon for me. :) I know, that if we were to meet in real life, we'd be immediate BFFs!!

I've never missed a day of his show. Ever!! That's why, this news, saddens my heart!! But we must go on. And I hope Nate, will find a new home, on TV. Very soon!!

But back to his show. I've seen Katie Lee make French Onion Soup. 3 times!! And you know what, I finally buckled to the pressure. It just looks so good. And come on, if they've showed this particular show 3 times, it must be delicious!

I searched high and low for the recipe. And could not find it!! Not anywhere. But the video, is right here. I watched it. Three times, and scribbled out some notes. That's what we had for dinner. Tonight. And my family soaked it up!! There is not a drop left. And I made a HUGE pot. There's only Mark, our 2 daughters, and me. I don't know who ate the most. :)

This is definitely one of our new favorite recipes. I'll be making it, many times in our future!! What an easy, and delicious meal this was. Now, I must confess something. I knew, Mark would want a little something more. So I warmed him up, some leftover pot roast. Again, this meal, was a home run! In our house, that's a great thing!!



Between, I just adore Katie!! She is so cute. And all her recipes are yummy. I picked up her cookbook one day. I found it at Dollar General. And I said, what the heck. The best $5 I've spent!! I've made almost everything in this cookbook. And I haven't been disappointed. A

Remembering Whitney

I was just crushed, when I heard the news. Whitney past away. I've always been a big fan! There is just something about her voice. It's captivating!! Whitney will certainly be missed. This is not the time, to think of the troubles of her life. This is a time, to celebrate her life. A life, that ended too soon! A

Say It Ain't So!!!!

My boyfriend got cancelled! I just read about it here. And it saddens me so! The Nate Berkus Show, is probably the only show, that I watch regularly. I know. Call me a nerd! But I love me some Nate. There are so many good ideas, recipes, and sources that are shared. I will surely miss my daily date with Nate! A

So Sweet!!!

I rarely ever watch Martha Stewart's show. I was once a big fan. Watched her show daily. Bought her cookbooks. Even watched the show, on PBS. Then, my bubble was burst! Not just her legal issues. I could sort of see, past that. She admitted her wrong doings. Served her time.

But when things were getting ugly with K-Mart. And she started putting low-income people down. That irritated me! I stopped being a fan. Because, I just couldn't see someone, put people down. Not everyone is low-income, because they want to be. And they certainly, don't need you, rubbing your millions, in their face. I'd rather watch the channel, that shows what's one TV, than to watch her shows. Hate me. But I'm just being honest.



But out of pure tiredness, and delirium, I tuned in. Today. For 5 minutes. While I watched the Craft Queen make these flowers. And now, it's all I can think of. I'm blaming it on the lack of sleep. And Ofelia teething. But we just might, make a little time in our day. To make these flowers! Because they make this mommy, smile. A
