I Want That!

A wonderful reader sent me this picture of something she thinks I would love.
She was right!
I want!
I Sooooo Want!
Can you imagine a whole wall lined with these completely adorable nest-box storage bins?
I really realllly want!

Now....
How to get The Man-of-My-Dreams to agree and build em for me.

(note: I have no idea where this picture came from, it is not mine. it obviously belongs to someone WAY more clever and talented than me, If anyone knows who's pic this is, please let me know so I can give them credit, and kiss their feet for having such an amazingly-cute idea! That I TOTALLY plan to steal recreate for my own kitchen.)

I Want That Wednesday!

It's been awhile since I did an "I Want That" post.
The Holidays are coming and I have found soo much cool stuff that I want!

I thought I'd share my "wants" with you....
you may find something to make your gift-giving list a little shorter.

Or.... something to ad to YOUR I want that list! :)

Lasagna Pan

How cool is THIS???
You can make three different lasagnas!
The Man-of-My-Dreams can have super-spicy sausage.
The Little-Foreman-in-Pink can have triple cheese.
I can have lots of Ricotta cheese.
etc etc etc...

The really cool thing is that each section is made to fit a standard lasagna noodle perfectly!
BRILLIANT!!

And......
It comes with it's own non-stick spatula that fits it perfectly!
Ooooooh I want one!! Or two.... Or Three!!!

And.. who says you have to use it just for Lasagna??
Can you say BROWNIES???
huh? right?
RIGHT???

I Want THAT!! Wednesday!!

If you have been round this site for more than a few weeks, you know that I have changed the look of things here quite a few times.
I have done this in attempts of trying to find a look that suits my needs and gives me the feeling of "home".

I have spent countless hours looking through templates trying to find the perfect look for this silly little blog 'o mine.
But I haven't found the perfect look yet. I really like the look and feel of the layout that I am using right now... the only problem is that everyone else loves it so much that it used on blogs everywhere!

I long to find the perfect look for this site. and I want it to be unique and only on my site.

So... This week's I Want THAT! Is....

A Unique Custom Website Design

wanna know a little secret? I am lucky enough to have found a wonderful woman who is making this dream come true! She is a very VERY talented designer and her prices can't be beat!

Stay Tuned for more info!

p.s. .... It will be here before we know it!

I Want That! Wednesday

Hurricane Ike forced me to take a few weeks off from

I WANT That Wednesday

But I'm back!!

Remember when you were a child and you would swing on your swing set and go higher.... higher.... higher?
All of your troubles would melt away and you were flying!

I want a
Tree Swing!

Yes... I know My butt is quite larger than it was in my swing-set days.
So I'd need a pretty darn big branch to hang my super-sturdy swing from.
But I think it can be done.
I want a tree swing!!

I Want THAT Wednesday.

I will go out of my way to drive down a "pretty" road.
I adore tree lined roads and driveways.
There is just something about the beauty of driving through a canopy of trees that takes you to another relaxing & calming place.

This week's I Want THAT! is a Tree Lined Driveway.
I'm working on it here on the farm...
But most of my trees were planted along my driveway three years ago and are only about 10 feet tall so far...
but someday...... Oh Someday....

Tree-Lined Driveway.

I Want That! Wednesday

One of my dreams is to have an ...

Outdoor Bathtub

I would love to slip into a nice hot bath under the stars.
Maybe a nice glass of wine...
Maybe some bubbles....
but NO kids banging on the bathroom door asking
"What are you doing in there Mom?"
Just me & the warm water & stars.

Heavenly!

Outdoor Fireplace

I have been known as the Fire Queen on our road for years.
Well.. I lost my title for one year but got it back this 4th of July.

I love fire.
I love to cook over fire, I love to gather round the fire, Fire is my friend...
But alas... unless we are having a big bon fire..
My fire containment device is..
My Redneck Fire Pit

When I was in California for Wife Swap, they had a Gorgeous outdoor kitchen/pavilion area.
It was heavenly! and in the center was a huge fireplace.

I want an outdoor fireplace!

Oh the time I would spend out there lounging around the fire. Maybe sipping a glass of wine, or reading a good book, or just cuddling with the Man-of-My-Dreams.

The first I want That Wednesday item is the Outdoor Fireplace!
