1. This easy and delicious crock pot chicken taco recipe.

It’s so easy and you have tacos for days, delicious days. Pinterest has become one of my go-to recipe sites.

2. This tortilla soup recipe from Delightfully Tacky.

If you get sick of eating tacos you can take that meat and make this delicious soup. Oh. My. God. It’s so good! You get a delicious mouthful with each yummy bite.

3. Murder to Excellence by Jay Z and Kanye.

I finally downloaded The Throne by Jay Z and Kanye a couple weeks ago and this is definitely one of my favorite song from it.

4. Pencil skirt inspiration.

I got a cute purple pencil skirt last year and have only worn it once, so I’ve been harvesting pencil skirt inspiration from blogs I follow and Pinterest. The two above and this one are my favorites so far.

He’s a total nip fiend. And as you can see, he’s a total ham. A couple months ago this guy waltzed through our front door and shook things up. I’d seen him roaming around the brick ledge of our house from time to time, then a couple days later my mom almost hit him […]

Since venturing in to the wide world of Pyrex and other retro cookware (but mostly Pyrex) I’ve been amazed at the wealth of knowledge available through blogs on the subject. For example I know of five blogs devoted solely to Pyrex. It’s nice for research purposes, most of the work is done for you, […]
