5Q Friday...Feb 12

1. How often do you shave your legs in the winter? Every other night.

2. Valentine's Day cards for your spouse: funny or romantic? Always romantic, but sometimes I see a funny one I like and give that as well.

3. What are you most looking forward to about spring? Warmer weather {although up until the light snow we got last night, it has been a very mild winter}, and I love the flowers and the beautiful colors!

4. What's your favorite way to pamper yourself? A bubble bath is a must every night, but I also love getting regular manis & pedis!!!

5. Does your tax return go into savings or do you spend it instantly?

What tax return....LOL.

Week # 5 - CREATE
Over the holidays, my niece Addison came over for a few hours of fun time! She loves anything that involves markers, stickers, or glue sticks! We especially had fun making cards with my stash of scrapbook supplies. Addison is 4 going on 14, she is the girliest girl you'll ever meet, she loves to talk, have her nails painted, watch movies, and do crafts. She's a cuite and so creative! Here she is in action:

Top Ten & Pin It Tuesday....Mantel Obsession

This week for Pin It Tuesday, I wanted to share my latest obsession!!
MANTELS, or better yet mantel decor...... 

Problem is.....we don't have a fireplace! We've been looking at some electric fireplaces, but haven't decided on anything yet, but I came across a couple of pins on Pinterest that I absolutely love.....a free hanging mantel sans the fireplace.

Hmmm.......now that's an idea.....

On our last 3 trips to WDW, we have driven the 15+ hours from VA to FL. Coming back from our family vacation in 2010, after driving miles in a snowstorm, we stopped for the night to REST. The boys didn't want to get up the next morning to finish the drive home!
