I found this recipe for an eggless sugar cookie....I have a little boy in my class that is allergic to eggs...so hopefully he will enjoy this cookie!

No egg sugar cookie:
1 lb. butter
2 c. sugar
3 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt

Cream together butter and sugar. Sift dry ingredients together and mix into creamed mixture. Roll into small balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Press slightly with a fork dipped in sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly browned. Found here at cooks.com

** I added a tsp of vanilla to give it a little flavor**

living room

I wish our living room was done. As you can see we are coming along, but we are not even close to finishing! I have a ton of ideas for our space & I hope that it looks as good as it does in my head!

Blue

Recently I have been on a blue kick. I love the feel, its so calming and relaxing. On of my favorite places is the beach. I am not one of those people that want to incorporate beach design into my home, however, I really want to bring in the tones and feel of the beach around my home. I found these pictures on google and other places, I don't know where to give credit. sorry.

Beautiful Bathrooms...

All these photos I found on BHG.com. I have this idea in mind for our master bath. Currently, we have one large shared bathroom. What I want to do is split it in half, so that the kids can have their own bathroom accessed from the hallway & we can have our very own master suite. The two bathrooms would be pretty small after being split, but I don't mind! Here's some bathroom eye candy!

Beautiful kitchens.....

All these kitchens are just beautiful! I truly wish I had at least 4 kitchens so I didn't have to choose! I found all these photos on BHG.com

The twirling tooth fairy

This is such a great idea. My daughter is only 8 months old, so this idea won't be used any time soon. But, I just had to store this idea in my blog so that I would have it when my little girl will loose her first tooth!! CUTE!

How does she? talking about her friend Natalie.....

"Before Bed, Natalie’s little girl sets out a big glass of water with her tooth at the bottom. While she is sleeping the Tooth Fairy comes to get her tooth and colors the water whatever color her princess dress happens to be that particular night. First it was hot pink, then purple, and when she came the other night, it was red with red sparkles! She must have been dancing in her room because there was red glitter all over her floor and bed! After the dance she always leaves new toothpaste, sugarless gum, and of course some money under the pillow."

you can guarantee that when my little girl looses her first tooth, the twirling tooth fairy will have a visit!

petti skirt

I am going to make this gorgeous skirt for my daughter! I think it would be so FUN! I Bronswyn has a great tutorial on her blog here.
Enjoy!
