Celebrate the BOY!

If you've ever shopped for a boy, you've noticed the dearth of cute, non-sports related, non-cartoon character options out there.  Especially in comparison to what is available for girls.  The same holds true for sewing and craft projects.  Thus, the geniuses at Made by Rae and MADE are endeavoring on another month of posts devoted to boys!  So, get over there and bookmark or start following!  Celebrate the boy month will run from February 15 to March 15 this year, but until then you can look into past projects - and a whole lot more - on their respective sites. 

Here's one of my favorite projects from last year's Celebrate the Boy series:

Green Thumb Overalls

take it from those who know...

In my dreams I am able to create recipes on the fly, bake like a champ, and come up with delightful new concoctions in the blink of an eye.  In reality I'm a stick-to-the-recipe kind of girl who relies on yummy looking pictures when choosing new recipes.  Look, I'm just not a person who can look at a list of ingredients and know if I'll like it or not, which as it turns out is okay, thanks to the talented Joe at Culinary in the Desert Country.  He posts recipes pulled from a variety of sources a few times a week along with a fairly detailed synopsis of the baking/cooking/creating process, tons of pictures, and a review of the final product.  It's become a reliable source around here.  Kudos!
