My 2012 DIY PROJECTS

This instagram calendar found at: A Beautiful Mess Blog

I find myself always thinking, "I need to make this" or "I need to try that" and for the most part, they never get done.  So, this year I am committing to doing at least 12 of those projects.  Hopefully, I will find time to do more as there are a ton of  DIY projects that I want to try, (not to mention that list has especially grown since I discovered Pinterest).  After much thought and consideration, these are the 12 that I am committing to for 2012:


January:  Homemade English Muffins
February:  Homemade Marshmallows
March:   Made from scratch - dog treats for Roscoe!
April:  Make your own - Windex    
May:  Five minute Artisan Bread
June:  Freezer Jam
July:  Homemade Nutella
August:  Homemade Hot Pockets
September:  Homemade Liquid Hand Soap
October:  Homemade Peanut Butter
November:  Make it yourself – Febreeze!
December:  Making Peppermint Play Dough

The plan is to attempt these projects the second Sunday of the month with a blog to follow that week with the results.  Excited to get started!  What DIY projects are you attempting this year?

However, all my Murray, Kentucky peeps who grew up with that six pack and a pound know where I'm coming from when I say Taco John's is on my "have to eat at list" every year when we travel back home.  And though we may not admit it, we all secretly get a little rage of jealousy when we read on Facebook about someone's trip home and they have 'checked in' at Taco John's. Or what about when somebody is on a road trip and they post that they have stumbled upon a Taco John's and they are now enjoying something out of that brown paper bag and then us folks that live in Taco

Superbowl Party XLVI

With the Superbowl only days away, and more than 100 million people gathering to watch the big event in their homes, my goal is to make your bash the party to remember.  The number one thing the Superbowl does is bring people together (which could be both a bad and good thing), so fire up the grill and break out the hot wings and cheese dip folks because it's time for some football! According to an article I was reading in a Billings Gazette  insert, there are some rules that you can follow to ensure your party-goers have a foolproof time. FOUR RULES FOR A FOOLPROOF TIME: 1.   Give guests a choice of party zones.   Who says you only have to have one viewing area?  Have more than one TV set up and tuned into the game.  One can be used for those die hard football fanatics who want to see every play and call of the game and the other for the chatters and snackers.  A basement or a media room would be perfect for the die hard fans and then a TV in the kitchen/dining or living spac
