Must Listen

You know when you find a really great CD and you just can’t stop listening to it?!? Well, I found one that I love that I just have to share! Last week my friend Amie sent me a secret link to a sneak peek at Adele’s new album, 21. It just came out in the U.S. yesterday and I downloaded it on iTunes immediately. As soon as I heard it I fell in love. It’s heartbreaking, sultry, and absolutely fantastic.

The best part is that you can listen to the whole thing right here on NPR…for free. Listen to it and try not to like it. I dare you. My favorites are Rolling in the Deep, Take It All, and my new favorite love song, One And Only. The whole album is to die for. Take a listen, and enjoy.

Tickled Pink

There are very few things in life that I love more than sprinkles and objects in miniature sizes. Imagine my joy when I got to combine these two favorites into one fun weekend activity. I volunteered to bring a treat to a friend’s Valentine’s Day party so I could 1) buy more Valentine’s Day sprinkles (I’m a closet sprinkles hoarder. I LOVE sprinkles. Whenever I see cute sprinkles I must buy them!), and 2) so I could try out my new miniature cupcake pan. Here is the fruit of my labors…


I'm in love with them! I almost died when these miniature red velvet cupcakes popped out of the open. My heart was singing as I frosted them with hot pink frosting and miniature hearts. I was tickled pink with these lovely treats, so I just had to share. I hope you all have a very happy and sprinkle-filled Valentine’s Day!

Log, Log, Log

This post is dedicated to my family, who will get a kick out of this more than anyone else!

The other day I was in my favorite furniture/home décor store. I turned the corner and I saw this beauty…

Notice how it says "Fully assembled." Really? Because some logs aren't fully assembled?

Yes—this is exactly what it looks like—a very expensive piece of wood. I thought, wait a minute. I’ve seen this before. And then I thought, it's Log! Finally! Someone has taken an idea from Ren and Stimpy and turned it into a reality. At last! We can all have our very own Log. For those of you who have not had the pleasure of seeing the hilarious and irreverent cartoon show, Ren and Stimpy, I present to you, Log. It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood.
