High Five For Friday




I found this fun idea over at From My Grey Desk
Basically you post about your five favorite things from the week.



  1. My fun nails! Essie's Chrome polish and Avon's Mosaic Top Coat in Black
  2. Keith's awesome find - can you believe someone was throwing this out? It will soon be our new entertainment center.
  3.  Sharing a picture and laughing with my sister (We loved Pitch Perfect)
  4.  A dunkaccino from DD (a yummy blend of hot chocolate and coffee, perfect for this cold Chicago morning)
  5.  A new board game for the kids. I picked this up at the twins' club resale over the weekend.
    The kids loved it! Gave up something to do in the evenings since due to the time change, we are having some trouble putting them to bed.

Love, love, love the nails. (Still waiting for a care package with mine). Ethan's also a HUGE fan of chutes and ladders. Two years ago, Grandpa gave him a 3-D one. It's unreal!

Great polish- reminds me that I need to give my toes some attention with a new spring color.

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In  When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite ...

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?

A Spooky Celebration

Far off in a field, in central Illinois, there lies a patch of pumpkins of the magical kind.    No one knows where they come from; they appear every October, yet no one ever plants a seed. Rare in nature is the person who finds this field.  It is said that only those with a touch of magick in their hearts can find this place.  As you walks delicately through the vines, you cannot help but feel a slight tremor upon nearing this particular pumpkin:  Stooping down to take a peek, you hear the faint humming of a song... What could that be? A party? A celebration? A wedding! The guests are arriving: The bouquet is prepared: Guests are seated: The "best men" take their places:  And now, the moment they've all been waiting for.... Let the celebration begin! But first, a wedding blessing: Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the ...
