Wordless Wednesday: Best Friends

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how many words is a four-in-one collage worth? This week, I must say “goodbye” see you soon to my best friend here in Philly, Tasha. She and her husband (and their adorable pup, Ollie) are moving a few hours away. I miss her already. Continue reading Wordless Wednesday: Best Friends

Wordless Wednesday: Vatican City

On our honeymoon to Italy, we crammed a lot of awesome stuff in to our small trip. One of the things we visited while in Rome was the Vatican. This was a view from the window of St. Peter’s Basilica (or the Sistine Chapel… I can’t remember which). I’ve always been a huge fan of city views, but the ones in Italy definitely take the cake.

Wordless Wednesday: Rose Painting

A week ago today was my mom’s birthday. She would have turned 62. To celebrate her birthday, I wanted to do something that she would have loved, so Husband and I went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art for the afternoon. I get my craftiness and love of art from my mom, who was a talented painter. Her roses (above) are just one of the beautiful works she made. Continue reading Wordless Wednesday: Rose Painting

Wordless Wednesday: Christmas Kitties

Over the years, I’ve subjected the cats in my life to many a costume or bow, most of the time for adorable photos. Some of those cute pics involve Christmassy outfits, presents or trees. I combed through photos from the last several years and found a handful of my favorites that I thought I would share! Besides, what’s cuter than a Christmas Kitty? Three Christmas kitties, that’s what. Continue reading Wordless Wednesday: Christmas Kitties

Wordless Wednesday: Birthday

Wordless Wednesday: Birthday

Monday was my birthday (yay!), so I spent the whole weekend and Monday celebrating, and plan to continue throughout the week. Over the weekend, Husband and I went to two craft shows, the bookstore, Sephora for makeup, shopping for clothes and to countless places to eat. We ended our binge of eating-things-we-shouldn’t-but-it’s-okay-because-it’s-my-birthday with a chocolate lava cake on Monday night. We couldn’t finish it because it was too decadent and we were stuffed from dinner, but it definitely hit the spot! Now I just have to find a good recipe for it to try it at home…

What desserts do you like to have when celebrating your birthday?

Wordless Wednesday: Boardwalk

Wordless Wednesday: Boardwalk

As mentioned yesterday in my National Chocolate Day post, Husband and I went away for a long weekend to celebrate our one-year-married-anniversary. We headed to Atlantic City where we enjoyed free rooms, penny slots, lots of hot chocolates and coffees with Bailey’s while playing said slots, a couple gorgeous days walking the boardwalk and an extensive (and expensive) AC Outlets shopping trip. You wouldn’t think late October would be so nice on the shore, but it was so warm outside we couldn’t even handle wearing our jackets. The above pic is a shot of the boardwalk leading down to the beach, and below is one of the sand!  Continue reading Wordless Wednesday: Boardwalk
