Happy Bird Day

I decided to try out stitching on wood to make this birthday card, and I must say...it came out pretty cool! Happy belated birthday Mrs. Dunn!

A Very Special Birthday

Isn't this picture of my grandma and grandpa on his birthday adorable? We celebrated his 80th birthday early this past weekend, which was such a blast! And watching them dance and blow out the candles on his cake made my heart so happy.
Happy 80th birthday Grandpa, I love you so much!

Succulent Love

I have a new love...succulents! My friend/co-worker Helene and I have recently become obsessed, and I'm pretty sure we talk about plants everyday. A little weird, I know. But how can you not love these adorable, little guys? And the best part is that they don't require a lot of watering!


I visited my local Salvation Army and picked up some glass dishes (all 50% off!), and got to work planting. I even made a little terrarium :)




Isn't this pink one gorgeous? I think the contrast between the pink and the green glass cup is so great.



I hope you are all having a lovely weekend, and are inspired to plant something for the summer!

Chicken & Broccoli Casserole

I remember there were certain meals that I wished I could eat everyday that my mom would make while I was growing up. One of them is a total comfort food casserole (she only made this once in a while) - Chicken & Broccoli Casserole!


Lay cooked broccoli and chicken down in an oven safe baking dish.


Mix together mayonnaise, cream of chicken soup, and curry powder.


Add a tsp of lemon juice, and pour mixture over broccoli and chicken. Sprinkle bread crumbs and a little bit of paprika. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.


I must say I am pretty satisfied with the way it turned out, but my mom's cooking will always be the best:)

My Mom Never Ceases to Amaze Me

These pictures were taken when my mom was pregnant with my older brother, Chris. Look how much she glows! I still think she's beautiful and I'm so thankful for her. As a way to say thank you to all of the special mothers in my life (mom, grandma, & Mrs. Dunn), I made some cards. Happy mother's day mom, I love you!
