Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!I decided to make some Valentine's Day cupcakes to take to work!Because it was a weeknight, I just used a box cake mix. My favorite box cake mix brand is Duncan Hines.

Four years of February - Show and Tell Friday!
Feb 2012Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! My life is busy! I bet yours is too! I know I said at the start of this year I was going to blog more than once a week and at the time I said that I really believed it but my life seems to get in the way of that these days and I feel like that I have half the free time that I used to have.

Since my oldest is now 26 years old I 'm guessing it has been about 28 years since the last time I skied, which means I was about...

I don't know why I never thought to look on Craigslist for used ones until recently! There are a lot on there and there are some great deals to be had!

Decorating with Lemons - Show and Tell Friday
Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!After I removed my Christmas decor from my 3-tiered stand I wasn't sure what to replace it with. Since all the lemon trees around here are filled with lemons right now I decided to go with a lemon and lime theme. When my mom bought this tiered dish in the early 60s, the shop had ceramic lemons displayed in it so I'm sort of recreating that lo...
