I cook/bake because I love




And so today I spent 3 hours in my kitchen
I made this for later this week and to bring to a friend who will appreciate it
and these for fun

and this and this for dinner tonight




and because my husband asked a cocktail--3 parts margarita mix 1 part rum--blend with ice!

A new obsession


Do you have a Pinterest account?
I do. For years I have kept binders of inspiration pictures, bookmarked sites, and starred blog posts that had ideas for someday, but this is so much better! You "pin" pictures you love and it creates a virtual inspiration board with the links!

I have boards for style, for our someday home, for the elle belle,and a couple more.

You can follow people and repin thinsg you like, I admit I get on several times a day and pin around.
You can follow me if you want...if you need an invite, let me know.

scrapping {sleeping beauty}


Thanks to another awesome quickpage from DHD International Scrapbooking Day's Blog Hop. I was inspired by Shannon Dombkowski's layout and I had almost the exact picture that I had snapped of Elle's unusual naptime!

So Elle is 10 months old--a whole school year old! She is 17 and half pounds according to our scientific system at home of weighing ourselves with her and subtracting our weight--hey we'll take it! Love you sweet pea!!
