Eff Bomb


Hmmm, so never in my life have I heard that I am the most well mannered...
...and I'm certainly aware of my occassional regular excessive swearing...

But I never really understood my fondness for a certain naughty word 
until I looked through my saved images.







My mother would be so proud.
(Sorry, Ma)

Easy Peasy

Looking for a cinch of a recipe?
LOOK. NO. FURTHER.

Seriously, this recipe (if you can even call it that) is so easy & packs such a punch,
you'd be a fool not to try it. With plenty of ways to spruce it up & make it your own,
it's a sure fire hit!

Let's get crack-a-lack'n.

Okay, first wash your strawberries and lob off the top and a little chunk at the bottom 
(so they'll be able to stand up)



Empty out the middle with a sharp paring knife.



If you want, dip the bottoms of the strawberries in melted chocolate
and set on wax paper (or tinfoil) to harden.


To make the filling, combine 1 (8oz) brick of room temperature cream cheese
with 2-4 Tablespoons of powdered sugar and a tsp or two of vanilla.


pipe your filling into your strawberries


if you feel so inclined, roll the tops in graham cracker crumbs


and voila!

Chocolate Dipped Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries.
YUM

Currently Being Inspired By...

S'mores!

What do you all have planned for this weekend?
Were laying low tonight, going to a concert and then a party tomorrow, 
and then probably recovering Sunday...

Whatever you're doing I hope you have fun!  

and if you had an extra moment or two you could send some warm SUNNY thoughts to us midwesterners. 
Not sure where you have been, SUN, but it's summer - get out here!




Have some faves:


I pitty the foo who doesn't know where this came from.
Seriously though - no source.















Did everyone see Spoiled Eggs' birth announcement?













And a very curious little Plop for your weekly fill.

Hope you have a great one!



OH!! I ALMOST FORGOT!!

Well due to some technical loop-holes they had to take it off Facebook and put it on their actual website.
Now the contest is up again, but none of our previous votes count :( 
So I need your help again.

Click HERE

Turn up the lights in here, baby!

Oh friends, you have no idea how nice it is to have POWER!
Tuesday night we had a (seemingly mini) storm and we've been left powerless
ever since! Yesterday I was literally throwing bows at a Panera to stake claim over my table with an outlet - madness!

But today we are up and running!
(I was awoken to what I thought was someone shining a flash light directly in my eye, 
but it was just my bedside lamp still on from the night the power went out - that was fun)

To everyone awaiting email responses, or digital copies - I'm on my way!
Enjoy some WORDS until then.
Happy (illuminated) Thursday!!

Take me out to the ballgame!

Koyie's 1st Birthday Bash!
(thats pronounced like coy)

As I mentioned last Friday, we had a very special birthday party to go to this weekend!
Todd's Godson turned 1 and I got to help his party planning supermom out with the affair!

Kelly dreamed up the whole red, white, and blue soiree and even made the invitations and freaking balloon garland herself!
She served all things baseball and made the most darling little baseball smash cake. 
(She really didn't need my help, she just knows it makes me happy! Remember Wylie's Party)
