If Aprons Could Talk

Convo1

For starters, let me just say thank you for all the incredible support you’ve given regarding “The Aproness”. Never in a million years would I have imagined myself being overwhelmed by the volume of people wanting something I merely threw together. Honestly, I saw an invite and thought “well, how cute would that be to… read more »

If You’re Going To Be A Loser….

Apron Group Photo

If you’re going to be a loser…. Then at least lose to yourself. Last weekend I was invited to a Pampered Chef party where a prize was being given to the best apron. So in true Aimee fashion, I set out to construct the most impractical apron in attempt to win by cuteness default. I… read more »

Carrots 1

 Do you ever follow a blog, and say “self, that woman is a genius and everything she touches is just pure magic”? If you answered yes, then you know what I’m talking about. If you answered no, then you probably aren’t following the Susie Harris Blog. I stumbled upon Susie, when really, she stumbled upon… read more »

Weekend Of Silence….

Life Happens

This was not the post that I had scheduled. This was not the post that I probably ever anticipated writing. But there are times when life doesn’t care what you have scheduled on the calendar or what you’d prefer to blog about. Life simply happens. image via When I was really young, my mother married a man… read more »

Don’t Monkey With My Monkey Bread

Monkey Bread

I’ve made “Monkey Bread” several different ways. I’ve made it with cream cheese pockets and today I made it without. This recipe is by far the easiest! INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar… read more »

I love you….a latte!

Latte 1

You can go all out for Valentine’s Day, or you can go all Aimee which is ten times easier. Due to the husband being out of town for Valentine’s Day, and rather than celebrating when he returns (hello, that’s way closer to my birthday at that point) the day for us has come and gone.… read more »

Lacy Burlap Table Runner {How To}

Step 8

 If you’ve spent any amount of time on Pinterest or Etsy, you’ve stumbled upon a zillion deviations of the burlap runner. If you’ve spent any time noticing the prices of said runners, you might’ve found yourself in sticker shock. $35 for a simple runner. Oh no, no, no. Recently, I contributed two of those shabby… read more »

Yada, Yada, Yada

Talk Less

It’s nearing the end of January and I stumbled on a little characteristic of mine that needs some tweaking. I’d add it to the vastly growing list of 2012 resolutions, but I don’t really want to call it a resolution. So I’m just going to place it in the ”How To Be A Better Aimee” file. Do know… read more »

A recap, a recipe & ridiculous rambling

You Can Do Anything

Someone discovered they have about 5 different jobs. Someone also discovered that they try to be superwoman. I would be said someone. (I was tagged in the above photo on Facebook, so I haven’t the slightest how to cite it) Job 1 requires me to properly get up on time, force myself to wear something besides sweats, and arrive… read more »
