I hate springing ahead! But only in the morning! This morning when my alarm went off I wanted to cry and throw it out the window! I get up at 5:30am so it felt like 4:30am!! You should not be able at this time unless you have stayed up all night! However I do love how long we have the daylight now into the evening but lordy I can't wait until like Wednesday when I'm used to this damn change! Right now it is 10:30 but feels like 9:30! I'm almost dead anyways because I'm so sleepy today! Should go to bed now because I'm probably not even making sense! Just once more I hate springing ahead!

Vent ended! See ya on Wednesday for what a blog! I would post tomorrow but I will be in the city and not sure when I will be home! Shopping day tomorrow!

What a blog Wednesday! 

 I have decided that each Wednesday I will be featuring one of my favorite blogs in a post called what a blog Wednesday (i'm sure you guessed that already)! For my first week I decided on my good friend Jennifer's blog oh my owls! Jennifer's blog is much like mine in the fact we post about food, crafts and the things that interest us. Jennifer also has a small addiction to pinterest so she had a lot of great crafts and food ideas for you. My favorite post she has done so far is her burlap wreath and as soon as I get myself some burlap I will be making myself one! It is super nice and goes well with almost any wall color and you can add whatever other decoration you like to it!  Jennifer has a thing for owls if you haven't guessed that from her blog name! I'm starting to think her house is full of owl decor! All of it being totally adorable by the way! Jennifer is a sweet, funny girl and her blog is great! I may be a tad bias as she is a friend but I'm sure you will like it too! I mean come on look how adorable she is! How could you not love her!?

 I have one warning for you Jennifer makes cupcakes and then posts pictures of them! You will then be hungry and want a cupcake! Don't say I didn't warn you when this happens! 

 Please now go and visit Jennifer over at her blog Oh My Owls!

Calling All Scrapbookers!

Dear Lizzy has new line out! It has been out for a little bit but I finally ordered some for myself! It is probably my favorite line of hers yet! Honestly I love every line she has put out but this stuff is just amazing! It is bright, cheerful, full of whimsy and just plain delightful! Here is a video to show you how fun it is! This video was created by Lizzy’s hubby Colin who does amazing videos! This family is full of creative energy! I can only imagine what her girls are going to be like when they get older. By the way Lizzy and Colin have 3 beautiful little girls!

As I mentioned before I have finally ordered myself some product from the new line! I should probably admit that I ordered everything and not just some! Yup I caved and ordered the whole new line because I loved it so much! This also I hope is going to make me get back into my scrapbooking. I have been scrapbooking for a few years now but this past year I haven’t done as much as I would like at all! I have hardly done anything really. I made a scrapbook for some friends as a wedding/Christmas gift but haven’t really done much else (like nothing else). I have to say I miss it because it was my first real crafty-ness I started and I love being able to document pictures in a different way then just placing them in an album. Fingers crossed this is what brings me back and I think it will! Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know how amazing I think Dear Lizzy is! She is awesome in pretty much very way! Yes, I kinda wanna be her best friend!

I’m back and I’m sorry for my long absence! February was a very busy month of me and to top it off I had the flu for the last week of it basically! Yes, I will spare you the details of my illness because really I don’t want to relive them! So we will just say fresh start in March J

The first recipe on Pinterest I ever saw was for S’more cookies! They looked insanely delicious but I was not into my baking/cooking groove so I was not even interested in attempting them because at that point I could not do things in the kitchen. I bugged Erica to make them for a while but that never happened so finally once I got some confidence in the kitchen I decided I could make these cookies myself! And I did it! These are amazing cookies! They are not something you want to eat a million of though because they are quite rich but man they are good! They are pretty easy too! As you can see they look delish and honestly they are one of the best cookies I have ever eaten! They are gooey and chocolaty and crunchy! Everyone that had some loved them! Really you should try them if you have company coming or just need some good cookies in the house J

I also made Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast cake, which was delicious, and a perfect quick breakfast! This recipe gave me a little trouble but only because I didn’t pay close enough attention to the directions so we are going to leave it at that and move on! No need to dwell on my mistakes! I recommend this recipe if you’re having a breakfast or brunch with the family or friends. It is a light cake so nothing heavy in your tummy and it is really fresh because of the lemon in it. A very tasty breakfast cake indeed!

And now I leave you until next time, which will probably be tomorrow because I have another post in the works already J

Okay I have been rather busy so I haven’t been doing as much cooking as I like. Well I have been cooking but it is stuff I have already made so no point in posting it again. I thought I should post something so here is it another music review and this time it is Ingrid Michaelson! This is Ingrid’s latest album called Human Again and as always with her it is amazing!

 I honestly love her music and this album did not disappoint in any way! I love it when I can listen to an album from start to finish and love every song. This is what you get to do with this album. Of course I have a few favorites which are Fire, How We Love, Palm of my Hand and Ghost. You will probably like most of these too since I have great taste in music ;) I have to say I find this album more mature and a bit more hard not the regular folky pop we have come to know from our Ingrid but still an amazing album. I honestly and whole heartedly recommend this album, I could listen to it for hours on end and I won’t lie I have had it on repeat at work since it came out J

Okay now stop reading this review and go and buy this album!!!

Oh and a side note I won tickets to see Il Divo yesterday!! They are playing at the Metro Centre on May 24^th and I thought I wasn’t going to be able to see them because I’m in a bit of saving mode (trip to Dominican in April please and thanks) and floor seats happen to be more then I want to spend . I figured I would wait and see what happened and maybe get some last minute. Well the Metro Centre did a giveaway on Twitter saying the first person to tweet their favorite Il Divo love song would win a pair of tickets to the show! So I quickly tweeted my answer which was just the first song that popped into my head and BAM Winner right here! I cannot wait! I love Il Divo and I love just going to concerts! YAY for me! J
