This recipe has been a hit time and time again. At the request of a sweet friend, I am sharing it with you. I made these last week for my son’s birthday treat. He took them to school and the teacher said they are better then a bakeries. Wow, how flattering!! So here ya go [...]

Valentine’s Day Mantel

TheLocalHoney — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 05:50:27 +0000

Ah yes, another holiday is another reason for my to switch up my mantel. As I may have mentioned, I am not typically drawn to pink. Sometimes I adore pink like on babies or my sweet friend Kelly who adores pink and wears it so well but mostly I like earthy colors. Except that one blue. You [...]

Master Bedroom Closet

I am in this mode of organizing, purging and with that goes a little redecorating. I had to share my latest “project”. First off let me just say that I am very lucky to have a giant master bedroom closet. It is mine all mine as we have a more average size one across from [...]

Valentine’s Day Fun

TheLocalHoney — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:12:15 +0000

Hello there, I am suffering from a ’9 year old party of 6 sleep over hangover’. Was that run on or what? What it means is that I am a little loopy and tired today. I did get a little cat nap in and now my boys — hubby included — are at the neighbors [...]

Lemon-Blueberry Yogurt Loaf

Pinterest strikes once again. This time in the form of a lemon blueberry loaf that I HAD TO HAVE. So I did. It was a delish little treat that I would definitely make again. Between the yogurt in the cake and the tangy sweet lemony syrup that was poured on after, it was super moist. [...]

My previous post on the New Year shared the idea of picking a word to focus on for 2012. I had heard this idea from a friend and also some savvy blogger peeps. Well The Lettered Cottage is hosting a linky party discussing just that — the word!! I have actually been thinking on this for [...]

Organizing Your Spaces

TheLocalHoney — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 05:57:00 +0000

With a New Year comes a couple of things. Purging {oh it feels soooo good!!} and trying to organize the leftover chaos of the past holiday season. I have successfully purged about two carloads of ‘stuff’. I get a little to excited about that kind of thing. Organizing makes me happy. So does redecorating but [...]

2012 – Hopes, Dreams and Goals

TheLocalHoney — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:28:28 +0000

OK — maybe my title for this post is a little excessive. I always have hopes, dreams and goals but sometimes a fresh new year coming on the coattails of a very busy holiday season makes us reflect and think about what we’d like a fresh new year to bring. I am trying to keep [...]

Oh thank you Pinterest for all of the yummy recipe ideas. I planned my last weeks worth of meals based on what I have pinned on my Foodie Love board. The most recent was these yummy stuffed shells. I added a big scoop of minced garlic and pesto and left out the ricotta due to [...]

Sweet Baby Boy

I just came across this sweet poem. My boys are now 6 and almost 9 which I know is still little but they have grown so fast! My brother and his wife are also expecting a baby boy in March. I just shared this poem with her because I think it is true – and tissue [...]
