The Magic Of Rainbows, Unicorns And Turning 4!

The pure joy and excitement in my granddaughter’s sweet little face as she named off some of her favorite things (rainbows, unicorns, donuts, pizza, balloons, bubblegum and family) is enough to make any heart melt!

Stylish, Simple, Time savers. 30 ways to use Paper Eskimo baking cups – By Joanna Palmer

I love the start of a new year.  It's kind of like you get another chance to redo goals and start fresh again.

It is also a time to reflect and think about time itself.  Because it certainly gets away from us pretty darn fast. 

Really, who doesn’t want to do things that can save time and simplify our life's. Especially when it comes to entertaining, for some entertaining can be overwhelming for many reasons.

Our friends at Paper Eskimo have some great ideas to keep it simple and stylish.  One of our favorites this past festive season was their 30 uses for Paper Eskimo baking cups. 

Black & White is just right for Halloween!

Try to say that 10 times!   Seriously though, Black & White is so right for Halloween when you use it as a base.  Check out these GREAT photos by Paper Eskimo.

White is like starting with a blank canvas.  Then you add in touches of Lime Green, dark Purple and Black and you’ve just created an amazing Halloween setting.  You can also kick it up a notch by adding in a variety of patterns in Black & White.  This is really quick and easy to do.  Mix and match spooky, scary, edgy with that great White pumpkin.
