This company and these products though, I absolutely ADORE! I've written about KEEN Footwear twice since I began Life for Dessert (if you want to re-read those posts, then check HERE and HERE,) and that was just … [Read more...]
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Giveaway
Once in awhile, in the midst of pursuing doing something that you love... and persevering through the parts that you hate of doing the thing that you love, you find something that can entirely eliminate the parts that you hate from the thing that you love...and that...well, that is just pure love leftover. I found something like that. And no...it's not a robot that cleans my … [Read more...]
We interrupt your regularly scheduled day….
for an EARTHQUAKE! I'm not kidding you. I was just standing in my kitchen checking email and my entire house started shaking. At first I thought the dryer was off-balance and then I realized that my entire island was moving and the walls looked like they were wiggling. A mirror on the wall was swinging back and forth. Then I thought..."WOW, that must have been a serious … [Read more...]
Red Letter Words Giveaway
About a week ago, I shared with you some of the fun things I'd gotten in the mail recently!

Drop-In Friends….
My house is a wreck today. No...seriously. Look at just my laundry room.... It looks SO bad! I'm under no illusions. It's a wreck!

I never wanted to do it because the laundry room stresses me out and I have to spend enough time … [Read more...]

Bye Bye Baby
Get a load of this guy. That would be my KINDERGARTNER! Say Wha???? Yes, I now am the proud parent of a very excited kindergartner. And I can hardly deal with it. Seriously.
