Have a fabulous weekend my Redd-Heads!

A site FULL of Om Nom Nom Nom! Go there, laugh and be happy.

I woke up to roses, chocolate and Left 4 Dead valentine's around the house.

Then Pauly and I went out on a date this afternoon. Mom came over and watched Ash and the two of us went shopping and to Red Lobster.

We picked up a nice sparkling Rosé, some brie, baguette, strawberries and chocolate fondue. Then in typical us style rented Oldboy. Haven't seen it? Don't bother, it's not very good. It's a weird Korean movie with the most bizarre twist at the end. It wasn't bad. It just wasn't very good. When it and dinner were over we moved on to Left 4 Dead on the 360.

That is what a perfect Valentine's Day looks like to a Hynes. Strange but true. Hope yours was awesome too!

ps - try the Rosé, it's delicious.

Have a safe Friday the 13th and an even better weekend my Redd-Heads!!

This week has been grumpy for me. I've had a migraine every day, Ash is a typical toddler, Pauly has a cold.

Here is a picture Pauly sent me to cheer me up and I'd like to pass it on to you. Hope it makes you smile!

I had the pleasure of meeting Heather over at the DiYscene.com forums. She had a shop over at Self Inflicted DIY.

As you may or may not know about me, I have a soft spot for handmade shampoo. You can imagine how stoked I was when I learned that Heather had opened up a bath and beauty shop and had shampoo that was cupcake scented!

I love this shampoo! First of all, it arrived quickly and safely. Heather was very friendly and easy to talk to. I ordered the vanilla cupcake scent and it smells divine! The lather is wonderful and leaves your hair feeling squeaky clean. I can't wait to try her conditioner. If you've been thinking about trying this but aren't sure if you should take the plunge into hand made shampoo, just do it! You won't be sorry!

Not in the market for shampoo? She has a wide array of products from body mist to bath tea!

She even took the time to answer a few questions for me for this entry!
