In preparation for our six hour drive to Florida, I whipped up some jello fruit snacks that I found on Pinterest, courtesy of the genius women behind Six Sisters' Stuff. Three ingredients: flavored gelatin, plain gelatin, and water! No carnuba wax or anything else objectionable found in store-purchased treats. They were super simple to make. I purchased molds at Michael's to form ...
We just returned from a week-long trip to the beach at Saint Augustine, Florida. This was our first real vacation in about three years! Mind if I share a few highlights? I'll spare you the pics of me in a swimsuit! {We're both smiling here, but notice my defensive position against attack by fork!} {Look who's wearing her new top!} Hopefully we'll ...
So... I snuck in a quick top this week. We're heading to the beach for vacation and I wanted something new to take with me. {And, who has time to shop?

My husband loves to indulge me when he's familiar with something that I really love - and, for him, he was comfortable going to the jewelry counter and loading ...
This blog post title is appropriate for so many reasons. First of all, my summer semester is almost over! This time next week, I'll be free from this prison for nearly one whole month. I have an intense fall semester ahead, but after that, I'll be done with my master's program. **whew!** Now, back to the project at hand {and more "bustin' out" references to come}... You should know ...
