This post was inspired by the pastel eggs going around on Pinterest. I wanted to see how hard they were to make. Turns out they’re incredibly easy! Well, for me anyway, as I didn’t have anything to do with them other than suggestion to my mom that she make...

Today’s Alice in Wonderland week theme is Home Decor. I would love a house filled with furniture and decorations inspired by my all-time favorite book. Of course, an entire house may be overkill for those who aren’t into the story, but I think every house...

It’s Foto Friday time again! This week’s theme is Winter Weather. Considering I live in the Poconos, you’d think I’d have a plethora of photos to share by now. Well, our winter has been oddly mild this year so far, with the exception of the...
