• Tell Mom You Are NUTS Over Her!!!

    candy and nuts

    Yes, tell Mom you are NUTS for her!! Come on….. that’s funny stuff!! Besides I just couldn’t resist! We are huge fans of trail mix, cashews, nuts, almonds all of it in this house. That’s our main snacking food here. So we were very excited to sample these tasty treats from Sugar Plum Chocolates. Absolutely delicious AND great gifts too!! An amazing array of nuts and trail mix and each one beautifully wrapped with wire ribbon, truly ready for gift giving. Don’t those look delicious??? That is the Nutty N’ Sweet Candy and Trail Mix Assortment.  An assortment of three tubs. You get salty, sour, and sweet snacks. The first layer is packed with 12 ounces of delicious individually packaged hard candies. I highly recommend the orange flavor.  The next layer is a 14-ounce tub of roasted cherry almonds (made with real Montmorency cherries!), and the last tub, also 14 ounces, has Banana Strawberry trail mix, which blends dried banana and strawberry chunks with roasted almonds and cashews. I have to say YUM!!! This trio is tied together with a beautiful green, yellow, red wire ribbon. Next is Original Trail mix Tower wrapped in a pretty purple wire ribbon the three…

  • Designing My Dream Bathroom!!

    I made the mistake of doing a walk through of the new houses that have just hit the market. Having watched them being built, then driving by the model homes, I finally just gave in and took a tour. Now, I am sad. WOW! Well, of course they are amazing, they start at 600 thousand dollars. Say WAAAAA? The houses really are stunning! The bathrooms alone are drool worthy! So rather than being sad I came home and started designing MY Dream bathroom!! I scoured the Internet and of course Pinterest until I came upon PlumbTile. Talk about inspiration!! This site has everything from modern to classic bathroom ideas. Can you imagine being able to relax in THAT tub?! Of course I really want the view that comes with that one!! However, the style that really screams out to ME are the following tubs. Old fashioned claw foot tubs! Ohhh ahhh! Yes, please! I love the fact that PlumbTile allows me to pick everything from the tub to the fixtures. I can pick the bathroom sink I want, the cabinet that I want it to go INTO! I can even add the faucets that I want!! I am able to…
