Beware of (CUTE) Identity Theft this Easter

I'll start this post with a confession: back when I was an evil little girl, (muah ha ha)(my evil laugh) I would get up early on Easter, get into the Easter baskets, break my little brother's chocolate Easter bunny and move a few pieces of his candy into my basket, put the baskets back like nothing happened, and go back to bed.

That's right, Michael! You read that right! Muah ha ha!

One more quick thing. If you're having people over for Easter brunch and need a great recipe, try making a Dutch Baby.

Last quick thing (I promise!). If you're looking for the cutest Easter craft ever, click here to find out how to make these adorable sheep!



Okay, on to the identity theft!










Thanks to Marie to sending me these super-cute photos!

Happy Easter!

    how sweet.....the pictures, not you! I am going to tell my kids to read this and see if I get any confessions....I was once mad at my mom, I went into her closet and put two dabs of red fingernail polish on her black shirt, right at the tip of the sleeve. I figured she would think she did it, I guess it worked because I never heard about it. muh ha ha not many people refer to me as sweet either. dang!

    Funny pics, and funny little story. I think we "over did" for our stinkin TODDLERS, but I'm sure they'll enjoy the sugar coma that ensues. Happy Easter.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. Did you find me through SIDS? I had to come check you out and got a few laughs. The pics are great and I'm always looking for fun new ideas to do with the kids. So, Thanks! I'm going to bookmark you if that's ok.

    Very cute pictures you got there!!! I love'em!!! Reminded me of my school days:) While in school, we were supposed to paint eggs during Easter. Though I never knew the reason behind it apart from that it was a part of our extra curricular activities (I was in grade 3 then) but because it was "fun time" during school hours, I loved it....

    Are those lambs difficult to make? My patience is kind of lacking in the crafty foods area, but if I ever have an Easter party, perhaps I can channel my inner Martha Stewart because they are so damn cute. Lol.

    I'm glad you found me, I could use a little crafty inspiration! As a teenager, I went through a Martha Stewart phase. I watched the show and read the magazine religiously. Our house was VERY well decorated for every holiday ;)

    Perhaps you can help me once again channel my inner Martha...

    p.s. Those bunnies are freakin' adorable. I wish I was having an Easter party just so I could make myself make them.

Jessner Peel Photos: Before & After Guide to Chemical Peels

The Beauty Blogger's "Before & After" Guide to Chemical Peels - Updated 12/5/18
Since posting my Jessner peel photos, detailing the stages of the process, and writing my chemical peel blog review back in 2013, I've had quite a few Jessner peels (my favorite) and TCA peels. However, I've saved a ton of money over the past 6 months by doing my own chemical peels at home. At my last professional peel, I made a note of the product being used and did some research when I got home. I was able to buy the exact same one, Dermalure Jessner Solution Acid Peel 14%, from Amazon for less than the cost of a single peel. I also use Dermalure's AHA/BHA Acne Cleanser, which I apply before the Jessner. (Side note: There's currently a 1-star review for the at-home peel that complains "I had to deal with days upon days of gross peeling and flakey chunks of skin falling off my face (and I have super oily skin). If I happened to laugh really hard on a particular day or…

Amerisleep Promo Code

Best Amerisleep Promo Code as of : $250 Off, plus free shipping both ways...not that you'll want to return it.

This is the ultimate Amerisleep mattress blog post, featuring unbiased reviews collected over more than 7 years of ownership, photos, videos, FAQs, and more. As a chronic insomniac (yes, even as a baby - my family insists I was a nightmare), the struggle to improve my sleep night after night is my life.


Q. How Long Does an Amerisleep Mattress Last?
A. We purchased our first Amerisleep mattress, a king-size AS3, in January of 2012. It is still like-new today, as proven by a test with a level (below). We have not babied this bed - we even jump on it! (Also below.) Can a memory foam mattress last 20 years? At this rate, I have no doubt that our Amerisleeps can.
Q. Is Amerisleep a Good Mattress?
A. We have recommended Amerisleep to our friends and family. Since making our initial purchase, we have personally ordered 3 more Amerisleep mattresses for our new home. The new ones we…

Instant Pot Explosion

While you're here, please be sure to check out my Instant Pot recipes: Creamy Enchilada Rice and Cranberry Oatmeal with Quinoa. 
We love our Instant Pot, the digital pressure cooker that seems to suddenly be in every home. You can't mess up - just throw in random ingredients and you'll get something yummy every time. It's foolproof. At least, that's how I used to feel about our Instant Pot, until the explosion...

Instapot Explosion

Ack! We just moved in and look what I've already done to my brand new, all-white kitchen!
I tried to re-seal the vent but the pressure was too high to cooperate. I'm honestly not sure what went wrong with this batch of oatmeal. I've made it a million times. The Instant Pot was only about halfway full.

Here is the link to my extra-healthy Super Oatmeal Instant Pot recipe, in case you are curious or a fan of the delicious. It probably won't explode when you make it.
Oatmeal? More like a batch of tasty homemade glue.

Dream Home Dreaming

*Update*
We've finally broken ground on our mountain dream home! Can you believe it? Even more surprising, we actually managed to work a good chunk of this list into our actual design. See below for details.

*Another Update*
We've finished construction and are finally living in our mountain dream home and it's even better than I'd hoped! Here is a sneak-peak of our new kitchen and living room. Click the "Decorating" button above for more photos.

Believe it or not, our budget was meager. Really! My husband built the coffee table from an olive trunk and did the thin brick backsplash himself. Eventually, he's going to take the brick all the way to the top of the ceiling. He also created the three-tier chandeliers (three chandeliers total - yeah, he's pretty great!). 
I was responsible for all of the shopping and decorating decisions and design details and layout. We had the tongue-and-groove installed upside down (rough-side down) with Sherwin Williams H…

A Nightmare Jessner Peel Side Effect

Almost as popular as my Amerisleep mattress reviews, the Jessner chemical peel post here on my blog has been a reader favorite for years. I'm still doing my own peels at home and still recommend this to anyone concerned about acne scars or wrinkles. However, last night I did have a Jessner peel scare.

As written before, timing is everything with a chemical peel. You don't want pieces of dead skin (yuck, right?) flaking off at work or at important social events. I've wanted to do one for months but things kept getting in the way, like extra days spent at work and our recent trip to California. Finally, last night I was able to treat myself to an at-home Jessner peel. (Using this product from Amazon, in case you want to try it for yourself.) I've done this so many times that the steps are automatic. I applied three layers of Jessner solution, brushed my teeth, and went to bed. Snuggled into our new mattress and a mountain of blankets, I fell into a deep sleep. I dreamed…

Family Size Bed (Because a King Mattress is Too Small)

Look! Up In The Sky! It's a Bird. It's a Plane. It's...

(cue suspenseful music)

DUN NAH NUH
What's bigger than a king-size Amerisleep mattress? An Amerisleep Superbed!

As you know, my nerdy engineer husband, SN, and I recently ordered two new twin XL mattresses from Amerisleep. The AS4 bed didn't work out for us (too soft and mushy for our taste) but we loved the extra-firm AS2 bed. It's perfect for people who sleep on their back (SN) and on their stomach (me). SN liked it even better than the AS3 bed we'd slept on since 2012 and I thought it was at least equal to that mattress, which is now making our relatives happy in the guest bedroom. The AS2 costs a little less than the AS3 and a lot less than the AS4. Who would have thought the less expensive option would be the better choice, right? Money really doesn't buy happiness.
(Okay, in all honesty, I think I prefer the AS3 just a hair over the AS2. Your first choice is usually the right choice.)

We loved our …

Flooring Ideas

Ever since we purchased our 13.1 acre (gotta get credit for that extra 0.1 acre!) lot outside of Albuquerque last year, Sexy Nerd and I have devoted most of our free time to planning our mountain dream home.

We cannot make a decision about anything. At this point, it seems our best option would be to build a row of townhomes, each in a completely different style. On Monday, we would live in our colorful Victorian home, and later in the week we could switch things up in our ultra-contemporary, all concrete house.

Since I can't imagine our neighborhood HOA (or our budget) ever allowing such a thing, we really do need to narrow down our list of ideas.

Flooring is a tough choice. In our current home, we have premium laminate flooring. It stands up well against our rambunctious dogs, but is easily damaged if you unknowingly drip water onto it and let it sit, like by the dog's water bowl and the dishwasher. We also have real wood flooring on our stairs and our bedroom sitting area,…

5 Ways to Make Your Flu Recovery Faster and Easier

I have the flu, so this is going to be a short post. Never mind that I often skip blogging altogether when I am healthy. (Update: This turned out to be a pretty decent post. Yay sick me!)

I should be at work today and not at home witnessing how stupid our dogs are. Pica just yawned and the sound caused Biscuit to bark, which made Pica bark. Now they are both barking hysterically at the glass front door. (Yes, glass front door. It is super obvious that there is no one there.) (Update: UPS just dropped off 2 packages and neither dog had any idea.)

1. Water tastes gross.

You know you're supposed to stay hydrated when you have the flu. Staying hydrated is never a problem for me. I love water...except that when you have the flu, water tastes gross. Like, you can taste the sickness. The universe has a cruel sense of humor sometimes. If you're caring for someone with the flu (hint, hint, SN), bring them hot tea with honey, juice, a smoothie, water with those fizzy Emergen-C packets, so…

A Healthier New Year for Sexy Nerd

Sexy Nerd recently started a new program through work that requires a lot of traveling. He gets sick of all the time wasted at airports, but loves the many meals his company pays for. Fresh seafood in San Francisco. Prime rib in Seattle. Burnt ends in Kansas City. He's been living it up!

After his most recent, week-long trip away from home, I decided to play the role of pesky wife and insisted that he step on the scale.

Surely you knew there'd be consequences for eating out for every meal, didn't you, Sexy Nerd?
The men in Sexy Nerd's family have a history of heart attacks at a young age, so a couple extra pounds is nothing to play around with. I planned to get him back on track by cooking healthy meals when he was home. I was all set to make a scrumptious breakfast of oatmeal with chia seeds (really, it's delicious!) when Sexy Nerd walked in with a bag of groceries. In our almost 7 years as a couple, this was maybe the 2nd time he has ever done any grocery shoppi…
