I Love Magic
We have two holidays to celebrate today: Floral Design Day and National Tooth Fairy Day. For me? This means flowers and magic. What better way to transition from a winter month to the hope of spring in March. The challenge? Buy some flowers and photograph them at home. Or tour a greenhouse. Bring in some [...]
I Love Polar Bears
Comments OffToday is Polar Bear Day. A whole day to celebrate these huge, white carnivores with very sharp teeth. Watching them dive and bat a ball at the zoo is my idea of a good way to spend a summer day. Can’t say as I’d want to meet one on the polar ice sheet, though. That [...]
I Love Pete and Pistachios
Comments OffToday’s big claim to fame? It’s For Pete’s Sake Day and National Pistachio Day. I say, “For Pete’s sake” a lot. It’s my general “frustration” signal. Or I curse with “Oh, crap!” Or perhaps, “For the love of little green apples!” Then there’s the good ol’ standby of “Mother Carey’s chickens!” People laugh at me [...]
I Love Clam Chowder
Comments OffMy Mom makes the best clam chowder. It’s New England style, all creamy with chunks of potato. Serve it up in a bread bowl and it’s Comfort Food. So, I’ll be celebrating today’s holiday. Definitely. It’s National Clam Chowder Day. Not to be confused with National New England Clam Chowder Day, which is January 21. [...]
I Love Creative Frames
Came across this snazzy idea from Photojojo and just HAD to share! Glass Jar Photo Frames
I Love Home
Comments OffA quote you can use on a February layout: “Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” - Edith Sitwell Have a happy, healthy February day!
I Love Movies
Comments OffI love a good story. I love a good story told well. I love discussing stories and the connections they form with the people who read/watch those stories. I’m amazed at the talent it takes to tell a story. I think that’s why I love The Academy Awards. I love to see the people behind [...]
I Love Chasing Winter Away
Comments OffAfter the last storm which dumped 22 inches of white stuff right onto my driveway, I feel empowered by today’s holiday: At noon everyone is supposed to run outside (I think opening the front door is plenty “outside” at the moment) waving their hands above their head, yelling, “Hoodie hoo! Hoodie hoo!” It’s supposed to [...]
I Love Chocolate Mint
Comments OffOh. Wait. I don’t love chocolate mint. Chocolate by itself? Yum. Mint. Tasty. Combine them, though? Not for me, thanks. But my hubby, kids, Mom…pretty much everybody else loves this flavor combination. In fact, there is a whole day to celebrate Chocolate and Mint. There is even an EHow article on how to celebrate this [...]
I Love Pampering
Comments OffIt has already been a long winter. Yesterday, I shoveled 18 inches of snow from our driveway and walks, just to be able to get my SUV out to pick up the kids from school. It was 55 minutes of cardio and sculpting, but it was still work. Today? I’m taking a break and pampering [...]
