So as I was at Starbucks one day I had this delicious basic pound cake but it was verrrrry lemony so when I came home I decided to find a recipe; I found a simple one at <a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/03/22/starbucks-iced-lemon-pound-cake-copycat-recipe/#">Picky Palate</a>; It turned out great and was gobbles up quickly but I wasn't happy that it was too cakey and not very pound-like in heaviness. Perhaps when I have more time I'd try a cake-less mix. Nonetheless, I didn't hear any complaints!PWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09727878739201309121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029885517096921917.post-26746572872326804912012-12-29T21:41:00.003-07:002012-12-29T22:00:45.219-07:00{Pulled Pork with a Creamy Lime Cilantro dressing}<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So here's a pic of a new recipe I made this month! My boys gobbles it up, I've made it twice already! Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork with a Creamy Lime Cilantro dressing with fresh salsa on a tortilla. The juices dripped amazingly and they went back for seconds. The beauty of pulled pork is that it feeds your family for days. Here's where I found my recipes found on my <a href="http://pinterest.com/prettyshoulders/">Pinterest boards</a>!</span><br />

I actually think I will have this on my iPhone when I go shopping. In reality, I have a few pieces (obviously not naked at the moment) and I could totally stand buying a few new pieces. I think this will make my life easier, dontcha think? I wouldn't HAVE to think every morning! I might substitute some skirts for other coloured pants as I'm not a skirt lover.

Every month I upload a new FREE desktop calendar to my computer. I luv her artwork! I can't believe it free!

It look so cute! Here it is:<br />

I printed off the sayings from: <a href="http://therubberpunkin.blogspot.com/2010/01/be-mine-freebie.html">The Rubber Punkin</a> and the subway art from: <a href="http://todaysfabulousfinds.blogspot.com/">Today's Fabulous Finds</a> I already had the all the paper and frames from Ikea.

Tomorrow I will post a cute framed papercraft I made tonite! I also have planned a Family Valentines Spaghetti Dinner at my house- weird, I guess I'll figure it out, I think it's weird because the main reason I don't like Valentines things is because of the ridiculous amounts of pink associated with it! hahaha, but for some reason, i'm not minding it all this year!

I know I bookmarked it a long time ago and it was after father's day, so this year i'm posting this idea before I forget it for this year. I think many of you will find it easy to print and adhere to your treats. It would be a good idea to start collecting cute & different bag sizes that you can put your treats in. I think I might include some homemade treats, time permitting. If not, they will be filled with dad's fave treats! It can be as affordable as you need it to be & if you start gathering non-perishables now, you will be ready for Father's Day, June 19th, 2011! Oh and start looking for a cute box too!!!!!

We've had a fun time taking these items out one at a time and starting to feel fall'ish at our home. The kids still enjoy seeing these little treasures pop up at home. I will take some outdoor pics when I'm done the entryway! My sister and I made the Halloween letters this week and it turned out beautifully! It was nice to start & finish the project in one day! The other items have been collected over time, some from Home Sense and Michael's mostly.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUGNZF5Rh7NqE458TJ-erQN1fRDKwr-86jbQ83z1upb3HG1VbRXu7jilNf7JTF5wfMy5irmQOhLLKPtoXWYIHfnelAhQw9P4iY1Zb6UkEluuWpIfJYYj56o236hpqjdFi6mUdTGwtcKvo/s1600/P1019458.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUGNZF5Rh7NqE458TJ-erQN1fRDKwr-86jbQ83z1upb3HG1VbRXu7jilNf7JTF5wfMy5irmQOhLLKPtoXWYIHfnelAhQw9P4iY1Zb6UkEluuWpIfJYYj56o236hpqjdFi6mUdTGwtcKvo/s320/P1019458.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Let me show you where I went: I first started with a cute site that my sista sent me: <a href="http://brownpaper--packages.blogspot.com/">Brown Paper Packages</a>--oh very cute ideas on this cute blog! Then I clicked on an idea she liked from a really neat husband and wife team blog: I really need this set up -on the left- that I found at this blog: <a href="http://www.kevinandamanda.com/whatsnew/category/our-home">kevinandamanda.com</a>...i got get my platters and casserole dishes into this arrangement! Off to walmart to check these out on my days off! They also have amazing FREE fonts <a href="http://www.kevinandamanda.com/fonts/freescrapbookfonts/">here</a>! After I downloaded a bunch of free fonts I headed over to: <a href="http://www.centsationalgirl.com/">centsational girl</a>- where I saw an amazing office re-do- so inspiring! then I went over to a new blog: <a href="http://rwwork.blogspot.com/">Roman and Williams work</a>- and i ga-ga'd over the amazing work these two do- I am looking for decorating inspiration and i think i might start here! So how is that you found me? and landed on my little blog? Does it speak to you? Do you like what Iike? talk to me, I'm so scared to let people know about my blog! Just the other day I looked and saw that I have 17 followers! Wow! It's mostly comprised of people I don't know! How is this? I want to make special mention of my first 17 followers- in fact I think my next blog If i ever have another one, will be called: 17followers! I should run and check if that blog name is taken! teehee!

I always do a purge or organize closets in the fall- why? because it's much cooler!!! But I have most of that done already due to "looking for something" this summer! I have almost finished the main floor and now want to start looking at some products as I shop around and get one of the boys rooms started this fall. I realize I only have so much say and I also realize he will one day move on so I would like to make the most of his room as I can. I really don't want to go too kiddie, I'd rather the room go with the house colors. So I've started looking at the colors in these <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/?flash=on">rooms</a>: What do you think?<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhumKCJQJnf10lpfH5_28X9phcWr82Scrg06xUORJIsHflfKRinUj071Wl8YPuZZdmjxa-Ot4RRLjMDmquki3Yt4K2gWMS6q4OAsqc-VPN4JaZ8tlWT793853kzYgQpDgoX6GwfUwZ-XGg/s1600/img7l.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 328px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhumKCJQJnf10lpfH5_28X9phcWr82Scrg06xUORJIsHflfKRinUj071Wl8YPuZZdmjxa-Ot4RRLjMDmquki3Yt4K2gWMS6q4OAsqc-VPN4JaZ8tlWT793853kzYgQpDgoX6GwfUwZ-XGg/s400/img7l.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503254926131703826" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRyHSH-uscERayUOkoHZpftGvWdUxjgXwGEIr74YuCW7vturTpPT6iIS0swivm3qqrnyORTV7gSOtw6mc5SjDQjFDh_PMu1UdeJwlds8URwOB7jT-oLFYk8DmENdjIfwO864BylGMXDt0/s1600/img19m.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 383px; height: 338px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRyHSH-uscERayUOkoHZpftGvWdUxjgXwGEIr74YuCW7vturTpPT6iIS0swivm3qqrnyORTV7gSOtw6mc5SjDQjFDh_PMu1UdeJwlds8URwOB7jT-oLFYk8DmENdjIfwO864BylGMXDt0/s400/img19m.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503256530309637458" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhErrrbwSBuZuALmV8BW1t5bZRbbx3If1yF1k3F0Vwdk-edQd1bTcVlgjBOKRw-NT7qHL6ST3kHuD7CtPdaHIXrz-8MEUTMZgj8NIjY3FFuj2i4HbDi0jVPBBZGVetopzNOUnkMusZNCs0/s1600/img99l.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 328px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhErrrbwSBuZuALmV8BW1t5bZRbbx3If1yF1k3F0Vwdk-edQd1bTcVlgjBOKRw-NT7qHL6ST3kHuD7CtPdaHIXrz-8MEUTMZgj8NIjY3FFuj2i4HbDi0jVPBBZGVetopzNOUnkMusZNCs0/s400/img99l.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503256527461663170" /></a>PWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09727878739201309121noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029885517096921917.post-60468303847930806842010-06-06T15:13:00.009-06:002010-06-06T16:43:58.345-06:00{my fave 5}I just saw on a blog that I love where she showcased her "favorite 5 things"- random "things" no categories for me though! <br />So, these are my fave 5!!!

"Once again, if you know me"... I decided to do a LIST! a list of the top five blogs that I visited when blogging began for me.<br />1. <a href="http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/">Kristina Werner</a>---loved her card making videos until she got caught using music that she wasn't allowed to use without paying rights to them!!! <br />2.<a href="http://www.cardoftheweek.com/">Card of the Week</a>---this is where i discovered many new sites and found myself checking out page after page!<br />3.<a href="http://www.kirtsy.com/">Kirsty</a>---this is where I'd go when bored and needed a new blog!!! It's an all in one blog...arts, entertainment, home, design, cooking, etc<br />4.<a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/">The Daily Beast</a>---came across this site when I was looking for some politics, some pop culture and great essays on simple, complicated life issues.....big change from the other "momstyle sites"<br />5.<a href="http://www.swsmag.net/">Southern Wedding Magazine</a>---A fabulous wedding site with amazing photography that I could look at forever!<br />Well, that's where it all started. I've been working alot lately, new house, 3 boys and a husband that keep me pretty busy, so bloggin' hasn't crossed my path lately but i sure had fun going to these sites tonite! Enjoy! Don't forget to leave me a comment- I so appreciate them!PWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09727878739201309121noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029885517096921917.post-15407695737100029512010-01-01T20:31:00.005-07:002010-01-01T21:01:14.467-07:00{coincidence or not?}<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRMs419PRXqZgvCK9JklnoSsdR_IPzWhZ8LojLhI1pU9CZy7qcpqX_fd6Mhs1gLFn09VAX65LQsQ_s3R_ONIhqtsoI5NtQpeKaQW9DsZxU5iWiJGBfC3-72Tc-bt4X1dT4TH_xwr3KLKs/s1600-h/Barefoot-Contessa-shop-2-511x288.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRMs419PRXqZgvCK9JklnoSsdR_IPzWhZ8LojLhI1pU9CZy7qcpqX_fd6Mhs1gLFn09VAX65LQsQ_s3R_ONIhqtsoI5NtQpeKaQW9DsZxU5iWiJGBfC3-72Tc-bt4X1dT4TH_xwr3KLKs/s400/Barefoot-Contessa-shop-2-511x288.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421987439001693618" /></a><br /><br />So, I always start with, "if you know me"....so, if you know me... you'll know that I LOVE the movie, "Somethings Gotta Give" and I love <a href="http://barefootcontessa.com">The Barefoot Contessa</a>.....so guess what I found out tonite on my fave blog: <a href="http://hookedonhouses.net/2009/12/29/the-barefoot-contessa-at-home-in-manhattan/">Hooked on Houses</a>? <br />My two favorites are linked together!
