Yummy Veggie Tacos!

I came across this recipe on Real Simple and finally got around to trying it out this weekend - it was SO GOOD! Good enough for me to want to try it out on my meat eating pals (TBD). Try it - you'll like it! And it was really easy - definitely recommended for anyone trying to cut back/give up meat, or just eating healthy.

Lucky Girl!

I won yet another blog contest! I feel so lucky. Thanks to Kate and Oli (a really great blog that I check out often), I learned of the awesome purse making talents of Hayden J . Thanks to her generous giveaway, I won this amazing bag!

Yay look how happy I am! Lame pictures, I know - I received the package at work and was so excited I couldn't wait to post about it right away! (Or, after blogger resolved its weird picture posting issues this afternoon. Did anyone else have problems with that today?).

Thank you so so much to Aimee of Hayden J (check out her shop!) and Kate and Oli for putting this together. Woo hoo!

Show Me The Bunny!

I joined another swap bot swap, this time for a handmade Bunny card for Easter, called, of course

Show Me the Bunny!  Since I was making one, I decided to make a few extra: 

Thank you!

Lots of craft blogs have givaways - and why not?  Its a great way to get more followers and traffic, and showcase your skills.  I enter a lot of these little contests and I just received my very first prize! 

I was so excited to get a lovely package of notecards in the mail yesterday from Teresa at Its's A Good Day.  They are perfect for everyday cards - everyone loves getting cards on their birthday, why not send one for no special reason and brighten someone's day? 

You can check out her other fun items at her etsy shop here - very affordable, and very cute. 

Thanks Teresa!!!

Apron in Action!

Here is my mom modeling her new apron (that I hinted at here) on her birthday this weekend.  I was so glad she liked it!

Plus, it has a secret identity - it doubles as a garden gatherer!  By buttoning up the sides, you can fill the pouch with all sorts of fresh goodies.   I found the idea here, at Clever Nesting. 

A little bit country...

And a LOT of manure!  Welcome to my weekend of fun!

I spent the first weekend of spring in Connecticut with my lovely family.  Saturday morning I did something I'm sure few of my big city pals have done - hauling manure!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!  It will be summer soon, don't fret.
