An Artist in the Making

From the time my daughter was just over a year old, she was interested in arts and crafts. If a day goes by where she doesn’t pick up a marker, some glue or a pipe cleaner, I am surprised. She started off with simple paper and marker tasks and now that she is six and a half, she has moved on to much more complex crafts that she creates all by herself. My son, on the other hand, who is two, going on three in another month and a half expresses very little interest in any type of creative activity … Continue reading

Bridal Shower Food and Decor Ideas

I threw a Bridal Shower for my sister this weekend and it was a great success! We will also be eating party food for the whole week in my house. When will I ever learn how to make the proper amount of food for a party? The colours I chose for the shower were bright yellow, pink and white. My Mom made these amazing tissue paper flowers.

The ladies all commented how this dispenser along with … Continue reading

Wedding Bridal Shower Gift Ideas – Post #2

Back in June, I wrote a post about special Wedding and Bridal Gift Ideas. For this wedding that I’m in this fall, there are two bridal showers and a stagette. I want to make each of these events special in their own little way. For the first shower, which I did not host, I brought foods that are the bride’s absolute favourite in order to add a personal touch to the shower. The gift that I gave wasn’t too special (in the sense of being unique), although I did listen to the bride’s desires and I bought her THE BEST … Continue reading

Top 10 Traffic Sources

I got this idea to check out my Top 10 Referring Sites from two of my favourite blogging buddies: I look at my Stats, but not in detailed view as much as I should! It is a good idea to check out where your visitors are coming from so that you can continue some things and change others in order to gain better traffic.
