Tuesday's Top Pick


This week's pick is a fun project - turning your photos into a lantern! You can get the entire how-to from Photojojo. These are great for an outdoor patio or just to decorate a fun room. You could use pictures of someone throughout their life and have these hanging about on their birthday. All you need to make them are the photos you want to use, a paper lantern and a few tools.

Tuesday's Top Pick

I know, you're terribly upset that I missed Tuesday's Top Pick last week. I can't promise that it won't happen again but I do try my best to always post something.

This week's something is in honor of Sam's blog, Make Fatty Run. He is tracking his 5K training process leading up to Second Chance Pet Adoptions' Furry 5K on November 3.

Fairly recently, the BBC News website posted an article about a body fat calculator that informs you of your standing on the global fat scale. Me, I'm below average nationally but above average internationally and most like someone in Israel.

Want to see where you stand? Check the calculator out here.

Tuesday's Top Pick

This week's pick is something I've had my eye on for a few months now. And I suppose that technically it's two things. But carrying on...




They are both fairy solar lights for the garden (the golden yellow globe lights up). I have two others (same design concept, different fairies) in my front gardens right now.

If you want to see more of the fairies, or you really like fairy things, check out efaries.com.

Tuesday's Top Pick


 It's a food pick, yay! ;) This week's pick is the Cookin' Cowgirl - she has some really great recipes that are fun and healthy but not overly froo froo (...pouf poo icky stew...).  I used to be addicted to Rachael Ray when she first started her cookbooks but after years with her daytime TV show, I've found she has gotten way too "fancy" with her meals for my tastes. I prefer simple, healthy meals that are fast and easy to make and don't require me going out of my way to find an ingredient.

So, today I made one of the Cookin' Cowgirl's recipes... funfetti white chocoalte puppy chow! And, please, do not make this alone where you will be forced to eat all of it because it is so addicting. Keep track of your eating buddy at all times.



Ingredients


Cereal + peanut butter, butter and candy melt goodness

End result! Yuuuumm :)
