I am a frequent traveler and though I love visiting new places and taking in the sites, there is no place like home. I love living in Utah and wouldn't consider leaving... image via Kennecott And yet each winter as our beautiful valley fills with what we affectionately refer to as "soup," I can help but long for the blue sky and sunshine of, well, anywhere else. This winter has been particularly bad. My immune system is still not quite what it should be due to the great health scare of 2012" and I've been left with a NASTY cough. I haven't been able to walk my dog, who is in a major funk. … [Read more...]

Bee a Queen for a Day Giveaway – Flamingo Toes

As a blogger, I get to show you what I want you to see. That means sometimes I share my holiday mantel, not the storage boxes that have yet to be put away. I share the DIY artwork on my wall, not the place where I tore the paint off trying to properly position. I share the pretty rug I want to buy, not the somewhat shabby one I own. And, I don't tell you that we ordered pizza the other night and ate off paper plates the other day because I didn't want to cook or do the dishes. I think that's pretty true of most bloggers. Our lives aren't perfect, but we're sharing a little bit of … [Read more...]

Chocolate Covered Football Oreo Pops

September 6, 2012 by 7 Comments

A couple of things mark the end of summer and the beginning of fall around our house (and I'm sure many of yours too), one of them is football. Whether it's football for the kids, in-state college rivalries, or even pro-football on Monday nights, it definitely signals a change in seasons here. I don't know what it is, but I'm a total sucker for the seasonal Oreos and when I spotted the football shaped ones at the grocery store, I knew I had to find a fun way to use them. I came up with a cool treat you can make for any occasion - football Oreo pops. Use them for a tailgating treat, Superbowl … [Read more...]
