How has your summer been?   Has it gone as fast for you as it has for me?  SHOOT, I can't believe summer has gone by so fast!!!! We have been camping a LOT so I thought I would update you with some of the fun photos from our trips. Oh yes, this is my daughter and she's a character! We stayed twice at the nicest campground near Sandpoint, Idaho called Riley Creek. The kids pretty much had three activity options: FISH EAT Or SWIM! OK, OK, we made a fish feast one night out of the 25 small perch they caught.  It was seriously delicious! The beach there was just unbelievable for us Idahodians (yes yes, I know you Florida people are just laughing at our rocky brown sand "paradise"!) I spent HOURS doing absolutely NOTHING and loved every second of it :-) My only "stress" was keeping my PALE skinned children from getting BURNED.  Oh well, the Little Mermaid below seemed ...

I am super excited about this giveaway because Pfister faucets are so stinkin cool. :-) I have been working with the Pfister Company and they sent me a faucet to review. I am absolutely in love.....and I was already in love with my last faucet so, well, not sure what kind of homeowner I am getting rid of something I loved only to upgrade to another love - ha!   As far as quality goes, it's heavy duty and just what I would expect from a good quality faucet company. Let the pictures begin! I chose this faucet because it was unique.  In fact, it has become a conversation starter because guests walk out of the bathrooms saying, "I love that faucet!"   What sold me was the fun waterfall spout.  This faucet is from their Ashfield collection . Now that I think of it, I haven't really shown you guys my full completed guest bathroom (other wise know as the powder room) yet! This is my thrift store plate collection. You can see how ...

I have been on the lookout for some really great higher protein snacks that will keep me full,  give me energy and taste amazing - I think I found it :-) CHOCOLATE CHIA PUDDING! I have continued to focus on my workouts and eating "clean" this summer.  Come September, I think I'll be at my health goal - pretty exciting!   This has been one of my favorite "go to" desert snacks between my meals.  On the plan I'm following, they want you to eat every THREE hours!  It's great cause this gal loves to eat :-) To make a single serving: 20g chia seeds (about 2 TBSP) 2/3 cup almond milk/regular milk or water 20g whey protein powder (usually it's about 1 full scoop) 1 tbsp raw organic cocoa 1/4 tsp vanilla stevia (or other sweetener to taste) Directions: 1. In blender, pour warm milk ( or water) over chia seeds and let stand for 30 -60 min (you can refrigerate if you want) 2. Add all other ingredients a...

There is something wonderful about the color yellow .  And since we're in the peak of summer over here I thought what better than to do a post that will brighten our day! (literally!) My friend Ann from On Sutton Place made the most adorable yellow rain boot vases to place by her front door. Doesn't that just make you smile? The boots along with the robins egg nest in her front door wreath :-) What about livening up a grey room with yellow accents!  This nursery is amazing! Young House Love Would you be so bold as to paint your front door yellow?  If my house looked as cute as that, I sure would! Apartment Therapy You thought a front door might be bold - what about your entire house!  Now that's Sunny! Dear Daisy Cottage I can't forget some LOVELY grandfather clocks that were painted yellow!   My Lovely Things And Cassity's clock she MADE and painted yellow - I love it! Oh look, s...
