I know this is the digital age, but I am seriously addicted to magazines. Almost as much as I am addicted to Pinterest. Almost. I practically squeal with delight when I open up my mailbox and see the glossy, beautiful cover of Martha Stewart Living..... seriously makes my day. I love to cuddle up in my covers at night with a good magazine. I find great ideas and inspiration in the plethora of magazines and catalogs that I get in the mail each month, but I find that my magazines ... [ Read More ]
DIY Lace Boot Socks
I've been drooling lately over all of the pretty lace boot socks that I've been seeing everywhere online. I love the look of the lace just peeking out over the top of a tall pair of boots, and since I practically live in boots in the fall, I knew I either needed to buy a pair or make some pronto. And while I will pay $35 or $40 for a meal, for scrapbooking supplies, or for a cute shirt, I will not pay $35-$40 for a pair of socks! And I assume since you are here reading ... [ Read More ]

Ooey Gooey Delicious Caramel Apples
My kids have been begging me for weeks to make caramel apples, and since fall wouldn't be complete without making these, I willingly obliged. We made homemade caramel to dip the apples in, not the prepackaged processed caramels, and they were sooooo delicious, down to the last ooey gooey sticky caramel bite. Can you see my reflection in the caramel apple? And the best part about this recipe? There was still enough caramel to fill an 8x8" pan to save for later, long after ... [ Read More ]
