Mario Testino for Salvatore Ferragamo with Claudia Schiffervia Following a sun drenched weekend in Saint Remy de Provence we are continuing our journey southward tothe gorgeous French Riviera. My husband and I made this same trip back in July 2003 and I'm still not over it. Sadly it was prior to us owning a digital camera so we'll just have to imagine- I'll let Claudia Schiffer, above, play the role of me ;) #dreamcometrue Trust me, the riviera is oui, tres chic in every way! ... read more »
Mariah Carey has finally unveiled her new music video for her brand new single "Beautiful", taken from her forthcoming untitled studio album to be released this summer.The song, which features RnB singer Miguel, is absolutely organic and has some good old vibes to it which we believe is what Mariah needed for her music career right now. The music video, directed by Joseph Khan, is simple yet entertaining and shows us that Mariah is still a diva who is here to stay for many more years to come.Watch it abo... read more »
Look at this awesome black and gray afghan! I love this design, haven't made this pattern in a long time and had forgotten how much I liked it. I think it looks sorta houndstoothy...is that a word? LOL. Thank you to our good friend Annemarie in New York for this beautiful afghan. Whomever ends up with this crocheted afghan in their Welcome Home Package is going to be thrilled. AND she's crocheted and donated 6 awesome scarves (one is a keyhole style), plus a hat. I LOVE this hat. Click to enlarge so... read more »
Hang tight! After 3 years and over 1,100 featured critters, Animal A Day is taking its very first break. As some of you may know, I am the only person who does the writing and updating for the site. With weddings (including my own), vacations, and home renovations time is going to be short and a good internet connection is going to be spotty. I'll be back full swing this August though, with a redone site and all new animal features, so don't go anywhere! And in the mean time, continue to follow AaD o... read more »
Normal 0 Apart from an occasional family of coyotes, no one lives there any more. Leastways, not since Silas found his mother cold as ice in her bed that Thanksgiving. After they’d put her in the ground, he took the last of the money from the ginger jar and headed to the Panhandle to look up Sara, his sweetheart. Don’t let the way it looks fool you. You might go riding by one Sunday and see the house and think it wasn’t much cared for, but that just ain’t the truth. It was a house built and fil... read more »
These cupcakes are just awesome. I make them and then want to eat the whole batch! They are so yummy that I don't think they even need frosting. I haven't put any on them yet I've made them several times. The filling is so moist with the chocolate chips and cheesecake in there that they are just perfect all on their own. INGREDIENTS: 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1 egg, slightly beaten 1/3 c sugar 1 pinch salt 1 (6 ounce) package chocolate chips 1 c sugar 1 1/2 c f... read more »

It safe to say I'm a firm Bioderma lover but with a trip to Paris planned at the end of June I thought it would be a good chance to try some of the new micellar waters that are popping up at the moment. Today I have a review of the L'oreal version that i've been putting to the test recently. This packaging is nice and simple, you can see how much product you have used up which I like, as well as this it is a very slim bottle so great for travel. It claims to dissolve make-up, unclogs pores and removes ... read more »
Today we celebrated my sister, Andrea's upcoming 50th birthday! Her birthday isn't until August but we love surprising our siblings early - so it is really a surprise! I forgot to take my camera today or I would show you the expression on her face when she walked thru the door and heard, " SURPRISE". It was priceless!!! We also celebrated my Mom' s birthday since it is her birthday on May 20th. All in all, it was a fun party! It is always nice to get together with family! I used Prima's doll stamp desig... read more »
Moored at Nethercote. Travelled 6.9 miles, worked 13 locks in a time of 4 hours 5 minutes. Last night there was a knocking on the engine room door and standing outside was Barbara off of NB Cloud Nine. It was lovely to see her and to hear all her news. We stood on the towpath having a good old chin wag for about an hour before we said “Cheerio”. After dinner it was feet up time before bedtime which came for me at 9.30pm, I was completely shattered and did not hear or see Keith come to bed. Awake at... read more »
