Painted Arrow DIY

Friday, February 20, 2015

Some of you may be wondering what ever happened to that painted arrow I asked about last month?! I'm so grateful for all of your comments. Many loved both colors, but most liked the darker Rust-Oleum® "Lagoon" satin finish more than the lighter "Seaside". 



So what color did I go with...drum roll.....

From healthy snacking, to healthy side dishes! 

After you try this glazed carrot recipe from Sunny Anderson, you will never look at carrots the same way, I know I will never be eating boring carrots ever again!!! 

Healthy Snacking with Yoplait Greek 100 Whips!

Tuesday, February 10, 2015

This post is sponsored by Yoplait, but my love for their Greek 100 Whips! is all my own! 

I'm finally getting back into my exercise routine, well trying to keep up with it at least three times a week. However, I'm not doing so great with the eating part and my calorie intake hasn't been so healthy lately. 

Last week I realized that I need to make healthier snacking choices when grocery shopping. It's a lot tougher to say no when it's in the house, but you can't say yes if it's not there...right?! But, before you say that yogurt is a boring snack, I dare you to give Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! a chance. This is the smoothest, tastiest 100 calorie Greek yogurt I've ever tried, and it really tasted like Strawberry Cheesecake! 


Plus, when you add adorable mini chocolate chips and banana chips to your Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! it becomes an instant dessert! Healthy snacking never looked or tasted this good. 

Making Monday Easier with Manwich

Monday, February 9, 2015

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Manwich. All opinions are 100% mine.

Monday afternoons are pretty busy in our house. The hubs starts his daily routine to get ready for work, while I put together his thermos full of coffee and cooler full of good eats for his lunch. My youngest step-daughter gets in from school and then off to work, and when her sister lived here she would get ready for work at the same time as well! How do you make a quick, but filling dinner when everyone is in a rush for the door? You make Manwich recipes, of course! 
I grew up eating Sloppy Joes, but haven't tried the Bold or Thick & Chunky style Manwich flavors before and was excited for everyone to try them. 
I love that I can share my favorite memories of what my mom made for me as a kid with my step-kids and make new memories with new Manwich Mondays Recipes.
You really can't beat how it easy it is to make Sloppy Joes! While everyone was running around the house getting ready I whipped up a tasty dinner in less than 20 minutes, making sure that they actually sat down to eat before they left for work. 
After sharing my favorite go to Manwich recipe for Sloppy Joe with the kids last week, I was looking forward to trying the next recipe I had in mind using the Bold flavored sauce.
Not that I had to wait until a Monday to make them, but I knew that today was going to be extra busy since I have to get ready for my women's group business meeting while everyone else will be getting ready for work! 
If you haven't tried the Bold flavor yet, it is a must! It smells so good and taste like smoked BBQ thanks to the mesquite natural flavor that's in the Manwich Bold ingredients. 
I'm so glad I decided to make Manwich taco roll ups with the Bold flavor, they were a big hit with everyone, and again very easy to make for a busy Monday afternoon. 

Manwich Taco Roll Up Recipe Ingredients:
  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
  • 15.5 oz can of Manwich® Bold flavor
  • Roll Ups 
  • Spinach 
  • Shredded Cheese
  • Cherry Tomatoes - Sliced 
Directions: 
  • Cook ground beef in large skillet on medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes or until no longer pink. Stir occasionally. 
  • Drain the beef and add in Manwich® Bold flavor sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. 
  • Rinse and dry spinach before placing it on the roll up
  • Add sliced cherry tomatoes
  • Top off with your Manwich® Bold ground beef and shredded cheese, roll up and enjoy!
You can get so creative with Sloppy Joes, what are some of your favorite recipes to make with Manwich® for busy, crazy days?

Arrow Prints & Graphic Design Inspiration

Tuesday, February 3, 2015


I've been following a few graphic designer blogs lately and have been inspired by them and Pic Monkey to try my hand at making more prints. Two of my favorite design bloggers right now are By Dawn Nicole and Craftberry Bush







If you don't know Dawn Nicole by now, then you are missing out. She is so much more than a graphic designer too, she has awesome DIY projects and recipes on her blog too! Plus, she just started featuring a free print of the week, how cute is this "If you're a bird, I'm a bird." print inspired by The Notebook!! 

I love everything she does and posts on her blog and social media pages, always so inspirational. Be sure to stop by and tell her Diana said hello! 



I didn't discover Lucy at Craftberry Bush until these gorgeous pillows started popping up in home tour blog posts during the Christmas holiday season. I was obsessed with little vintage cars with Christmas trees on them at the time, and well you know the deal with my owl love! 

So when I saw them I had to track down who made them and how I could find out more about the designer!! 



And now Lucy has done it again, I think she knows about my obsessions! First the vintage Christmas tree car, the owl, and now ARROWS!!! I need that arrow pillow in my life! Stop by her blog and her shop to see more prints and home decor designs..she has more than just pillows. 

PS, right now she is featuring the arrow print and a February desktop calendar for free for a limited time! 

Here are the three prints I put together using Pic Monkey, I hope you like them as much as I do! 









I hope you have a great day, thanks for stopping by!
