Twitter {Tuesday} is Here!!

 

Happy Tuesday Luv-lies!

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed that I’m up much earlier than usual.  Have you ever been so excited about something that you just couldn’t sleep?  Try as you might, you just can’t get the darn thing off  your mind enough to get just a little shut-eye!  Every time that you close your eyes the thing just keeps running through your mind!  You know what I’m talking about.  Right?

Well, that’s exactly what is going on that has me up well before the crack of dawn.  This idea has to be tired because it’s been running through my head all night!

So enough thinking about it!  I want to tell you about it!

You know that I’m always thinking of ways that I can stay connected with you guys.  And to give you all Shout Outs for staying connected with me.

Follower LuvI can’t think of a better way to say ‘Thank You’ than to feature you right here in this spot.  Right here in my #BlogHomeSpace!  I want to tell all of my you about each other.  You know.  Sort of a ‘Thank You’ and an introductionall in one!

Thx for the Follow

The picture is a dead give-away to the idea that has kept me too excited to sleep.

The idea is a jump off from my Friday {Facebook} Feature that gives a ‘Shout Out’

to my Facebook followers.  I want to extend the Luv by giving a warm ‘Thank You Shout Out’  to all of you who Follow me on Twitter.

You know that I have to give it a name. right?

And so,  *drum roll puh-leez* ….

What I’m Luvin’ Now … Take A Seat Children

Hey Luv-lies,

It’s ‘HUMP DAY’ !!!

hump day

I’ve been surfing the ‘net looking for a few ideas for an family room project that I’m working on,

when I took an unplanned turn and landed on a few sites that featured some pretty enviable  furniture.

*I love it when my surfing takes me to a place that I had no intentions of visiting. 

I love it even more when that place keeps me smiling … for hours*

I must have a hidden obsession for chairs because they seem to be on my list of

‘What I’m Luvin’ Now’ quite often.

This time my chair obsession is all about a whimsical place for children to nestle.  Check it out …

With three brothers, my Grand Daughter is no stranger to rough and tumble play.

But I know that her dainty side would love this plush Princess chair.

Blog Trolling Thursday ….

Hey Luv-lies

Happy Thursday!

It’s triple dare cold outside!  And the good thing for me is that I don’t have to go trekking around in weather fit only for a penguin.

  What it does let me do is spend some time blog trolling.

I {heart} blog trolling and I’d like to take you along.   I’ve grabbed one of my biggest cups of coffee.

Because who doesn’t start their day with a mega size cup of   ‘jo’?  Go ahead.

Go get yours.  I’ll wait……

Back?  Okay.

Put your feet up and take a stroll with me…..

Friday Food {PORN} :: Cupcake Lovers Day

Hello Luv-lies,
… and Happy Friday the Thirteenth!!

 In the world of Foodies, today is Cupcake Lovers Day!!!

Cupcake Magic

You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t love these tempting bite-sized miniature cakes!

The first batch of these ‘can’t eat just one’ dessert teasers were made in a teacup.

Thus the name ‘cupcakes’.

And although at times, they can be a bit challenging to eat,  the challenge is never enough to deter  our desire to savor their enticing flavor.

In honor of Cupcake Lovers Day let’s lift a cold glass of milk  *2%.  Of course*  to these little luv-lies that, I for one, can not get enough of!

~~~  I’ve taken the liberty of choosing  a few of these pint-sized Luv-lies to tempt you …. ~~~

 

Nutella-Cupcakes-1-of-1

For you chocolate Luv-lies who also has a special place in your heart for Nutella, Jamie over at the mouth-watering blog,  My Baking Addiction,  whipped up the above delicious-ness from a chocolate cupcake recipe that is infused in the center with this ‘must have’ hazelnut flavored creaminess.  And. If that is not enough.

All of this lusciousness is topped off with the delightfulness of even more Nutella.  In a one-bite,  whipped buttercream taste!!! …. yessssssss!

Decadent.  Right?

Put on your food bibs, Luv-lies.  I’ve got just a little more eye-candy that will surely leave you with a tasteful drool….

Friday Food {Porn}:: Decadent Eats

Hey Luv-lies!

It’s Friiiiii-Day!!!!!   That has to  mean ….

Friday Food Porn!!!

I’ve been on this journey to a healthier me.   It’s been a road of, among other things, self-discovery, self-control and self-appreciation.  There have been temptations *many. many. temptations*.  This is where the self-c0ntrol comes in…  You see.  I’ve learned that I don’t have to eliminate any of the delicious eats that I once over indulgenced.  It’s truly about control…. portion control.

With that in mind, Come.

Feast your Eyes.  My Food Porn.  At its most decadent.
