New Kitchen Island

The kitchen in my townhouse has a lot of space and a lot of cupboards, which I love!  So I thought and island would be perfect, okay so it was actually Lindee's idea, but I love it.  We went to Ikea and found the perfect one that matches my kitchen.

Cheers Wine Carrier

I love my wine carrier, it keeps the bottle at the right temperature, it's easy to carry and protects the bottle from braking.


Which is very important if you know how clumsy I am.


(Even before drinking the wine!)

My Kitchen Aid

Love my Kitchen Aid! I've been putting it to work a lot lately!

Brother PT-1090 Simply Stylish Home & Family Label Maker

Alex gave this to me for Christmas this year because I wanted a new label maker that had cute fonts and colors. I put it to use right away when I was putting away the Christmas decor.

Check it out:



Yes, The Leg Lamp deserves it's OWN label!

Personalized Gold Pen

This is another treasure that I got from my mom-in-law for Christmas. She knows how much I love pens and notebooks!

Family Desk Calendar

I love this little calendar that Lindee made me for Christmas. It sits right underneath my computer screen at work so it's easy to access (I'm constantly looking at the calendar for due dates at work).

She also put every single birthday in our family on the calendar so now I don't have any excuse for forgetting a birthday. Crap.

Thanks Lin.

Dyson Slim

If you know me, you know that I LOVE vacuums. I'm probably obsessed with vacuums because my mom is obsessed with vacuums. Alex bought me this Dyson Slim a couple years ago for Christmas and I haven't needed to buy another one since.

Most of our upstairs is hard wood floor and we have a huge rug in the living room so I wanted something that can vacuum both carpet and wood floors. Which is why I love this, I can go directly from vacuuming the rug to vacuuming the hard wood floors. Plus it's lightweight and easily fits in my coat closet.

Wow, I just realized this sounds like a commercial. I promise this is just my opinion, Dyson didn't pay me to say any of this. But now that I think of it, they should!

That's it, I'm calling them right now!

Little Black Wine Journal

How can you remember all the wines you have tried and whether they were good or bad? Use your trusty little black wine journal. It fits in your purse so if you're out on the town and happen upon a fantastic glass of wine, you can scribble it down for purchase later!

Plus it's just too cute and so much fun to write in!


I couldn't find an exact picture of the journal pages that are used in this journal, but it is similar to the one above, however my journal has better information and is definitely prettier!



It's small, it's cute and it's convenient to take notes on any new wine finds. I like to keep record of the wines that I like and don't like, it helps me to sophisticatify my palate. (Yes, that's a word)


I'm on my way to wine connoisseurdom. (Yes, that's a word)

Photo Scanner

The hubster got me a photo scanner for my birth and it is awesome! It not only scans photos but it can also scan negatives and old slides. You can convert all your negatives & photos from 50 years ago to digital images, how cool is that?

I've been using it and you will soon see some old pics on my blog! So fun!

My Purseket

I bought me a purseket! I've seen them on alot of blog giveaways and my new purse had NO pockets so I broke down and bought me one. I love it! Look inside my purse:




Everything has it's own special pocket so I don't have to dig and dig and dig to find my chapstick. Check it out:

Vanilla Lime Yankee Candle

This is the perfect scent for the summer!

Strap Perfect

The Easter Bunny left me these in my easter basket this year! Now that it's warm outside, I've been using them all the time. I used to use safety pins but these are much easier and faster to put on

Haven't tried the bonus perfect tape yet. Ya know it's supposed to add a full cup to your bra size instantly!

What am I waiting for?

Tiny Jeweled Stationery

Isn't it pretty? This was another gift I recieved in my Easter basket this year from my mom-in-law. Of course I fell in love with it right away.

It's tiny, it's shiny, it's pink and it's paper!

Biosilk Silk Therapy

I love this stuff! Smooths out all that fuzziness and makes your hair shiny and happy!

Cute On-The-Go Notepad And Pen

The is just darling! I keep it in my purse for whenever I need to jot something down while I'm on the go. It's little and cute and the color even matches my purse!

My "Apron Center"

As my collection of aprons grew I decided I needed an Apron Center. So I bought these hooks from Linen and Things and now I have a special place just for my aprons!

Prize I Won at Nikki Crumpet's

The prize I won was that cute little pea pod magnet, but look at all the other stuff she included! I was so surprised! Unfortunately my husband opened the Symphony bar before I got a picture of it so yes, it's open in the picture.

And look at what she made for me!




Isn't that cute!! It's hangin out on my mantel now:




And, you think that pink kitty is just a key chain? Wrong! It's a weapon! Watch out dudes, I'm not afraid to use it!




Thanks Nikki!

Snuggie

Yes, got me a snuggie for Easter and yes, I love it.

Rub-A-Way

This is not a bar of soap. It's a stainless steel bar that removes garlic, onion, and other odors that remain on your hands after you cook. You just rub it like a bar of soap under water and voila! The smells are gone!

New HeyDay Notebook

You know I love me a new notebook, isn't this one so chic? The Easter bunny left it in my basket this year!
