Win It: Linda & Harriett.


Linda & Harriett recently expanded their line of much sought after notepads to include thirteen designs! Measuring around 5.25 X 8.5″ and weighing in at 100 pages, they’re bigger than your average notepad for lots of notes and doodling. I have this one and it makes me happy each and every time I use it.

And lucky, lucky you because they’re offering up one of their lace notepads to one of you!

Here’s how to enter: I want to know if you could write one letter who it would be to and why. Your BFF? Your BF? Or maybe even yourself? You have until next Monday, May 18th at noon CST to comment. (US residents only please.) Please include your email address to be eligible. A winner will be chosen shortly after. Good luck!

Happy {Mother’s Day} Weekend.


I consider myself one of the lucky ones because my mom truly is my best friend. A few weeks ago I sent her a invitation to join me for a Mother’s Day luncheon Sunday. I think I’ve narrowed the menu down to strawberry poppyseed salad, roast chicken and sage pesto paninis and blackberry mousse. I think I’ll also have a big vase of flowers sitting on the kitchen table for her when she arrives at my house!

For those of you who are last minute here are a few links to check out:
• DIY Mother’s Day door hanger from Twig & Thistle
• downloadable card from Spagat
• downloadable Happy Mother’s Day banner from Poppytalk
• card for the dads to give via Ambrosia Girl

This Weekend:
• shop for ingredients and make Sunday’s luncheon
• schedule fence and gutter installations
• schedule Peanut’s annual vet appointment
• LAUNDRY!!!
• cookout at C+H’s
• price storm doors

Do have big plans to either spoil or be spoiled this weekend for Mother’s Day? Or maybe both?

Happy Weekend!
Happy Mother’s Day!

Round Up: Cinco de Mayo Eats + Drinks.

Up until May 1999 I had heard of Cinco de Mayo, but never celebrated the day. That was my first year in Oklahoma and it became evident rather quickly that this wasn’t just another ordinary day. Restaurants host outdoor tent parties, people hold backyard fiestas and it’s all about the food and being together. With that in mind, I set about putting together this roundup of eats and drinks. (And oh, those lovely banners in the above photo are available here. via Simple Lovely)
