I must be feeling nostalgic lately between my spirograph last week and googly eyes this week. I saw these eyes at the craft store and couldn’t resist picking up a pair. I remember gluing these on everything as a kid. Don’t they make everyday objects so much more adorable? Who knew a faucet could have so [...]
Sunday morning we watched our baby birds climb out of the nest, wobble around the window box, stretch their little wings, and look at us through the kitchen window. I took the photos below, and an hour later they were gone! I was shocked! I thought they would play for a while and head back [...]
Our wedding anniversary was last week, and Daniel got me the zombie print I had been wanting for so long. How romantic! I love it so much that I gave it a place of honor on the mantel. Do you have a brick fireplace? I have such a hard time deciding what to put on [...]

I threatened to bake them into a casserole if they didn’t shut their worm holes, but they ignored me and kept squealing. I guess they know I love their funny frowny bird faces. I caught Daniel heading [...]
This is the perfect summer cake. It’s zippy, delicious and it’s probably healthy since it doesn’t have icing. Right? (Cute beater-licking puppies are not required for preparing this cake, but they are recommended.) 1 box lemon cake mix 1 package jello instant lemon pudding 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1 cup and 2 T cold water 4 eggs 1 12 oz can lemonade (frozen [...]
One year ago today I wrote the first post on the Wit & Whistle blog. Happy blogiversary to me! I think a giveaway is the perfect way to celebrate. I’ve come up with a short 5 question survey about the Wit & Whistle blog. I’ve been itching to make some changes to the blog, and [...]
