New!

How cute are these cupcake papers featured on Cupcakes Take the Cake? I can’t decide which one I love most the skull and cross bones, the flowers, the damask, the green and white polka-dots.

I read this quote in Glamour magazine and loved it so much that I had to share.

“An older woman told me something that stayed with me. I asked her how she stayed married so long. Her reply, ‘We never both fell out of love at the same time.’ I love that, because no matter how much we want to deny it, there are times we want to throw our boyfriends or husbands overboard and vice versa. But as long as someone is trying, then you can make it.”

How beautiful is this iris centerpiece? Brides.com

How crazy are these colorful, glittery, bonbons from Bedazzle My Bonbons? They don’t even look edible, but they are!!!!

Flavors include chocolate, mint, peanut butter, raspberry, and more. Check out all the different color options.

I just got my first issue of Food Network Magazine and I love it. It is full of great ideas and recipes. So of course I had to share.

I love this Silhouette Chandelier Mobile.

What a great way to dress up tap water at a dinner party with this Tap Water Bottle.

5 Minute Candles, for when you need birthday candles and can never find them.

For Valentine’s Day all I asked for was a box of chocolates. Kenny went above and beyond and got me these beautiful, awesome and unique chocolates from Co Co. Sala. Flavors include PB&J, Pear Caramel, Curry Coconut, Java, Orange and so on.

For Valentine’s Day I made Kenny a yummy dinner. I actually got the recipe from Cosmo magazine and it was really good. We had an argula salad with a dijon vinaigrette (I made it) and lobster pot pie. The lobster pot pie was a lot easier to make than I expected and very delicious.

Flowers are by Loda Floral Design.

For dessert we had rum laced chocolate fondue with star fruit, strawberries and cheesecake for dippers. The star fruit looked pretty but not really that great. You can never go wrong with strawberries and chocolate. We used the Sara Lee Cheesecake Bites and they were the perfect size and so easy.

How cute are these sushi rolls made of rice krispy treats, colored licorice and fruit roll-ups? Kara's Party Ideas

Last weekend Kenny's boss hooked us up with tickets to the Caps game. I say "hooked up" because the tickets were for the company suite, which means good seats, free snacks and free BEER!!!!! It was our first time to a professional hockey game and it was so much fun. We will definitely be going back. The Caps won! This is the jumbo screen after one of their GOAL's! I noticed during the game that this guy two suites down from us looked just like David Gregory from Meet the Press. So I started stalking him and strategically taking photos. In the first photo you only see half of Rachel, she was pretending to pose for a picture and in reality I was trying to take a picture of David Gregory. In the second picture you can kinda see him. Afterwards we did find out that it really was David Gregory so my stalking wasn't wasted.

These pictures are from earlier this week, back when snow was fun. Kenny was enjoying a seat on a bench in our courtyard I was going for a snow angel and then Kenny just started burying me. Afterwards he wondered why my pants were so wet.

(Theme not intentional) This bag lets you carry wet items in a non-leaking pocket and then your dry items in a seperate pocket. It's washable! And comes in a variety of colors! Planet Wise markets it for diapers, swim wear, shoes, cosmetics, gym clothes, etc. I'm guessing diapers are the primary use. I'm not there yet, but pretty cool concept!

I love the "green" idea of these reusable sandwich bags. Kenny and I take our lunch almost everyday and these would save on sandwich bags and money. They also come in a snack size! These are two of my favorite prints. Check out snackTAXI for more prints!

How cute is this pre-teen girl's bedroom? (Pictures taken with iPhone, does not give the room justice) I love the white iron bed, how girly. I had a gold post bed growing up and loved it! The black and white bedding is to die for, especially with the pale pink paint. And of course I love all things monogrammed so the polka-dotted initial above the bed is perfection!

Kenny loves Eggs Benedict and this morning he made his first attempt at it. Not bad?!

Hostess with the Mostess featured these adorable necklaces from Lisa Leonard Designs. They are so sweet and sophisticated. I love them! This is my favorite!!!!

How neat are these Book Lights featured on Twig & Thistle?
