Dog Stairlift

When I lived in Park Slope some years ago, I had a neighbor of whom lovingly carried his old lab up and down the stoop to go to the bathroom. Maybe he could invest in the World's First Dog Stairlift? Awww...

Raspberry Coconut Macaroons

Smitten Kitchen has the yummiest posts. I'm tempted to try to make these pretty raspberry-coconut macaroons. Wouldn't they be great for a spring party on the roof with your girly pals and a few bottles of Veuve Rose?

If you're happy and you know it.....ohhh

This made me laugh. Happy Friday! I realized earlier this week, that my birthday (April Fools Day, no joke!) falls on this Saturday. Is it strange that I'm not entirely energized to celebrate? I'm in full countdown concentration to the wedding. Two week from Saturday!

Make your own pigs in a blanket.

As someone who enjoys entertaining...and pigs in a blanket, I have to say this device from Nostalgia Electronics caught my eye. I wonder if it's better than popping those piggies in the oven?

I'm still perusing ideas for my wedding day hair! My style needs to transition from photos to veil to no-veil at the reception. This twist to the side is a smidge of the beaten path, without being too adventurous.
