Here's what I've been up to ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 47 Featuring Blueberry Compote Popsicles
Welcome to the Retro Re-pin Party! It's Tuesday again! (How does it get here so fast each week?) I mentioned last week that I was hoping to be able to share my big exciting announcement with you today. The cat is out of the bag, so I am happy to announce that I have officially launched my own WordPress tech support, Genesis theme, and graphic design business, Powersful Studios, LLC! I'd ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 46 Featuring How To Make A Lavender Wreath
Welcome to the Retro Re-pin Party! Another week, another party! It's been a fun week. I've been working on some last details for the new business I'm launching, and I'm hoping to finally be able to announce it at next week's party! We have set a new record this year with zero wedding invitations, so it's been nice to have weekends free to garden and just be home. The baby showers have taken an ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 45 featuring Sausage and Fennel Frittatas
Retro Re-pin Party Time! This week has been off to a slow start and I think I really like it that way. I recently got a fitbit, so I've been getting out of the house more in the sunshine so I can get my steps in for the day. I think it's actually made me even more productive to take breaks for a quick walk than it typically is to just power through something. It's funny how that works isn't ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 44
Welcome to the Retro Re-pin Party! My day has been totally off because of the holiday weekend. I went to my Monday morning meetup group (where nobody showed up) and then forgot to make dinner tonight because hubby usually cooks on Mondays. Was today like that for any of you? Here's what I've been up to this week: My entry for the Popsicle Recipe Challenge: Pomegranate Mango ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 43 Featuring Beer Marinated Grilled Chicken
Welcome to the Retro Re-pin Party! Tuesday again! It's been a much calmer week this time around and I prefer it that way. Denver has been trying to imitate Seattle with its dreary rains, so I've been enjoying slow mornings with cups of coffee. My biggest goal for this week is to get my seedlings in the ground for my garden if it ever stops raining long enough to not be a mud puddle. What's your ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 42 Featuring Strawberry Roses
Retro Re-pin Party Time! This has been such a crazy week for me! Last week I was in Austin, TX for my 10 year HS reunion and to spend some time with family. We got a phone call on Monday night with the awful news that my uncle had passed away suddenly. All my plans to visit with friends and relax in Austin went out the window and I ended up driving with my parents from Austin to my uncle's ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 41
Welcome to the Retro Re-pin Party! Happy Cinco de Mayo! I'm out of town in Texas this week, and only have my mobile phone to put this post together, so I'm going to keep this short and sweet, and unfortunately am unable to pick a feature this week. Here's what I've been up to this week: My Top 5 Cinco de Mayo Recipes Trudy's Copycat Mexican Martinis The Retro Re-pin Party is a ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 39 featuring Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges
Welcome Back to the Retro Re-pin Party! This week has been a bit bittersweet for me. For those of you who don't know, I've been a part-time nanny for the past several months for 3 of the most adorable little babies. They were just barely 9 months old when I started watching them, and are now all around 16 months. I've watched them learn to pull themselves up on things, say their first ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 37 featuring Icing Carrots and a Picture Shelf Hack
Welcome to the Retro Re-pin Party! I hope you all had a lovely Easter!! We celebrated with good friends by dying eggs and having people over for dinner. Holidays with friends are some of my favorites. How does your family celebrate Easter? The Retro Re-pin Party is a quick, weekly link party where you can share some of your older (or "retro") pinned blog posts and give them some new ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 36 featuring Paper Lilies
It's Time to Retro Re-pin Party! This week has been a lot less eventful than the week before. The most exciting part was building a raised garden bed with my hubby in our front yard. We have a tiny backyard that's mostly deck and doesn't have much afternoon sun, so the front yard just makes more sense for a vegetable garden. Hopefully our neighbors in downtown Denver understand and don't ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 35 featuring 25 Ultimate Caramel Desserts
Welcome back to the Retro Re-pin Party! I can't believe it's Tuesday again already! This past week seemed to fly by and it's been a fun and crazy week. This past weekend I got to help throw a Snoopy/Red Baron Baby Shower for a good friend of mine, and it was so fun to pull together all the little dessert bar foods! I made some Lemon Puppy Chow (since Snoopy is a puppy), Chocolate covered peanuts, ...
