I’m drooling over this black velvet cake from Urban Comfort. It’s a twist on your traditional red velvet with black food coloring instead of red and cream cheese frosting with some orange zest. Yummers! Continue reading
I feel icky. What started out as a scratchy throat last night has turned into a full blown cold. I’m curled up on the sofa with the computer while the Sparkletots are running amok from room to room making as big of a mess that they possibly can. And I’m too miserable to care. All I want is soup. In a mug..not a bowl, so I can slurp it in my spot on the sofa. If I was smart, I would have a frozen stockpile of my favorite tomato orange soup in the freezer…but I’m not. So while I wait for Mr. Sparklepants to come home from school with some take-out soup, I’ll dream of some of these soups I’ve found via Pinterest.

Yay! September! We are so close to being into autumn that I can taste it. Autumn is officially my favorite season of the year. Although they say spring signifies new beginnings, I have always associated new beginnings with fall. You start a new school year, and the funnest holidays start with Halloween and go until New Year’s. You can’t go wrong with fall!

I am thrilled that it is finally September and that the blistering hot summer days will (hopefully) be behind us soon. I wanted to start incorporating some fall decor into the house, without going overboard just yet. So I decided to make some decor for the wall using texture and not color. I got a bunch of foam leaf sticker for the Sparkletots, and found that they would be perfect for this project. Continue reading
Happy Friday Kids! I found some cool stuff this week..

These cherry wood veneer leaf cutouts from Paper Source are so stinking cute! I can think of a million uses for them. They would be good on walls, on tables as scatter, you could use them to make some fall themed coasters. *love* Continue reading
