One of My Many Addictions

Deviled eggs...yep, I have an addiction folks! In fact, my addiction is hereditary because my son, Jake, also has a deviled egg addiction. Normally, people fix a dozen eggs...that gives you two dozen deviled eggs. In our home, we fix much more! Believe it or not though, I have nothing to store them in or transport them in if we are going to share them.. yeah, right...like we would share! lol!! Anyway, I found this neat carrier/container over at Lillian Vernon and I think we need this. It only holds two dozen though...that's a problem. I might consider purchasing two if I had Lillian Vernon coupons. I'm sure there are probably some coupons or codes out there on the internet.


Of course, we could just eat the ones that won't fit in there! That would probably be the best thing, right?!

What's you're favorite deviled egg recipe?? Maybe I should host some type of deviled egg carnival or something! lol!!

The Little House

Seriously, this little house located in Toronto is completely cute...but I could never live there! I do believe my claustrophobic tendencies would sprout forth with great fervor! I do like the back patio area quite well though. I think I would probably spend most of my time there...weather permitting.

The Little House was built in 1912 by a well-known contractor named Arthur Weeden. During the same year, the biggest house in Toronto was built. I guess it was a year of construction extremes in Toronto! Neat!

Simone Brewster...You Rock!

Some of you may think this is mean, but to those of us who teach a child who is easily distracted this is brilliant! I was disappointed to find out that the designer, Simone Brewster, has only made one set (15 in a set) of these "Office Collars". Really...we need just one here...one with a chin strap, please!

This blinder was originally designed for an open workspace. Isn't that clever??

Two Heads But No Tail....

photo source: Fox News

I was reading some news over at Fox News and I came across this little bit of info about a two-headed turtle. It's a Red-Eared Slider and was sold to the pet store where it is now living for an undisclosed amount of money.

Two heads, two front legs...but not tail. Hmmm...how does it get rid of waste? These are the things they don't tell you and these are the things we need to know! lol! Sheesh!

I Wish I Could Do This!

Photo from Midnight Knitter's blog

I am always amazed at people who can look at something in a magazine and then recreate that something....and it look perfect! This is a true gift, really it is....and a gift I wish I had. Midnight Knitter is one of those people and she has created a hat based on one she was shown for an Anthropologie catalog....and she is sharing the pattern with us!! I'm thrilled that it's a cloche because I've been keeping my eyes open for a cloche pattern for awhile....so thanks, Midnight Knitter! You rock!!

Free Bag Pattern...Neat!

Ali over at Machen/Machen has created this nifty bag and she is sharing her pattern with us...for FREE! I've been keeping my eyes open for things to make for Christmas. I think this bag would be great. Ali has described the bag as being quite roomy....that's good! Maybe I should just make it for myself...forget making it for someone else! lol!

After you snag your free pattern, be sure to hang around at Machen/Machen....it's quite lovely over there!

Neat Play Tents

I was over at An Island Life checking out the neat Koo Koo Bear Giveaway Contest! This online store has some of the neatest things I've seen in awhile. I love these fabric tents!! You should see the sad tent my daughter is napping in right now...I tried to catch a photo but alas, my camera battery is dead! These pretty tents would be so much nicer....I was wondering too if these would be fun for children who are in the hospital...the ones that aren't critically ill but the ones who have to be there for treatments, etc. Hmmm...I'll have to look into that...

Anyway, right now at An Island Life, you can enter to win a $50 gift certificate to Koo Koo Bear. Zip on over to find out all the details!!
