So, I had my third kitchen catastrophe a while ago, but I was too ashamed to admit it.. oh the shame.
As you may or may not have noticed, I have issues with my oven.  Exploding potatoes, melting kitchen utensils, etc.  So I thought it would be a good idea to get a oven liner.

Seems like [...]

I’ve been depressed lately, and need to lift my mood.  So what better way to cheer up than to think of things that make me happy?
And no, they are not raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.  Sorry, Fraulein Maria.

AKA Fat Tuesday.
One of the things on my bucket list, is to go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.
But until then, I will make King Cake at home.

Can you spot the baby Jesus hiding in the cake?

Last night, I hopped on over Walgreen’s for a few things, and what did I find in their Valentine’s aisle??
A RING POP!!

Ok, so this might not be exciting for some people, but it took me back to my elementary school days.  The days when the ring actually fit on a finger other than my pinky.  [...]

I got a deep fryer for Christmas.  I didn’t really know when I would use it since I generally don’t like fried foods.  But today, we were having burgers and fries for dinner, and Ed and his brother convinced me that we should break out the deep fryer for the fries.
Admittedly, the fries were pretty [...]

So, I like to peruse the World Wide Web on occasion, and I found this website called Awkward Family Photos.
I’m sure you already know what to expect.  And the sad funny thing is, we can all relate.  I would like to share with you, some of the awesome photos that I found.

Oh the goodness that is Pottery Barn.  I love you and hate you at the same time.  I love you because you have super cute stuff, and your catalog makes me want to decorate my house.  I hate you because I can’t afford anything you sell.  Your latest catalog is full of cute things, and [...]

So Christmas has come and gone, the presents have been put away, and the tree will be coming down in the next few days.  But there are a few presents that are being used, and used often.
First, there is the Sonicare toothbrush that Ed and I received from my parents.  It is awesome.  You’re supposed [...]
