A Quick And Tasty Meal At Pei Wei Asian Diner

This post brought to you by PeiWei. All opinions are 100% mine. I love wraps, and when I heard of the idea of wrapping them with lettuce instead of breads or some carbs, I thought that was a brilliant twist on an already delicious food. If you are in the mood for a quick and […]

  • These look so good & I love Sriracha

  • I haven’t tried them but I love Pei Wei and lettuce wraps. YUM!

  • Those lettuce wraps look delicious! I need to check out Pei Wei!

  • everything looks so tasty I’d love to give that a try

  • That looks so darn good, but I don’t think we have one. Maybe in Raleigh…I’ll check!

  • I love lettuce wraps! I need to try the Thai Chicken ones.

  • I love Pei Wei and can’t wait to try these. Thanks for sharing!

  • We’re thinking about having Pei Wei tonight…love their chicken salad.

  • I haven’t tried them yet – but we have a Pei Wei close to our home, so I really should find a friend to make a lunch date with!

  • That looks super tasty!

  • Yum! I love lettuce wraps and these look so good. I really wish we had one of these near us, because I would be a regular!

  • I love lettuce wraps and those look really good!

The Jill-E Career Bag #Fashion #Photography

The perfect handbag should be two things, useful and beautiful. Of course useful depends on what your personal needs are, and beautiful depends on your taste. The Jill-E Career bag is an attractive, structured leather bag that would fit well into most wardrobes, and it’s definitely useful for the career gal. The Jill-E Career Bag […]

  • I do not like my camera bag and would love something stylish like this!

  • I tend to grab my point and shoot on a daily basis so that would fit in there quite nicely. I usually only take a DSLR when I have a purpose because it’s heavy!

  • Wow that is gorgeous, it looks like a purse over a camera bag, which is amazing!! Love how much room it appears to have too!!

  • I agree that it is a very nice bag — I like the professional look of it. The inside compartment for a phone is an added bonus, as I have a hard time finding mine in a larger bag.

  • I love this! It looks extremely professional, and it’s a great color!

  • Mellisa

    I LOVE that bag, I have a backpack that I carry my equipment in.

  • This bag is stunning and since I STILL have yet to make the DSLR plunge (by this spring without fail!) I could get a lot of use out of it. It seems like the perfect size for all of my necessities.

  • It is beautiful, yet professional looking! Very true to name.

  • Bummer that the camera can’t stay put together. If I’m going to carry a bag that big, I’d like my camera to stay in one piece. Looks good otherwise

  • I’m like you – it would be a great bag for when I carry a small point-and-shoot, but it wouldn’t really be practical when I’m walking around with my DSLR and want to have the camera ready for quick shots.

  • Panda

    Wow. I can not believe that’s a camera bag. I’m so getting one of these – so glam and fabulous!

  • Mickey

    Very cute! It’s nice looking and big enough for my stuff, but still professional looking.

  • What a gorgeous looking bag!

  • This bag is beautiful! I love how much you can put in it.

  • I love that the camera part is an insert, rather than built in. I received a camera bag as a gift once & my camera doesn’t fit into it, but the insert is sewn in so I just can’t use the bag really.

  • I like the style and color of this bag.

  • What a cute bag.

  • That is gorgeous! I don’t carry a bag often, but when I do, it is always a classic look like this.

  • I love the bag! I actually have a smaller camera so I should be okay, and I like the extra storage for baby things ๐Ÿ™‚

  • What a great bag. I’ve actually heard great things about Jill-E bags. Thanks for sharing.

  • I love how everything is in order and easy to find with this bag!

  • Looks like a great, functional bag!

  • What a nice purse! I love how roomy it is and especially those compartments!

  • This is such a beautiful and versatile bag. Love the color that you chose too, goes nice with a lot of outfits.

  • I love that this fits a DSLR

  • Looks like you can organize all your goodies in that bag.

  • This looks like a great bag!

  • It looks like a great bag, but I definitely agree it is not big enough for most cameras.

Making Your Stairs Safer {DIY Home Project}

One of the things I love about our new home is the hardwood floors. Our stairs are made of the same beautiful wood, and I love them. It wasn’t until one day that I opened the window by the stairs on a rainy day that I realized hardwood floor stairs are also dangerous- very slippery […]

  • Mickey

    Great idea! We rented a vacation home earlier this year and I was so worried about the kids slipping on their wood stairs.

  • This is so neat, I wish we had heard about these at our old home would have saved many a fall!

  • That is a brilliant idea. We don’t have stairs, but I can only imagine how dangerous they can be with little ones.

  • I miss the hardwood floors we put in our old home. Someday we will be able to upgrade this one!

  • Hardwood floors are very beautiful if well taken care of, but I agree they can be dangerous when they get wet. Kudos to you for being proactive and keeping your family safe! You did a great job installing the stair treads.

  • Wow it looks great! I will admit I like the look of real wood, but I prefer a safer stair case too ๐Ÿ™‚

  • I think it turned out beautifully. I like the idea of the stair treads as opposed to full on carpet covering the stairs.

  • That was one of the things that scared me about my daughter’s last house. She had a huge long flight of stairs up to the master bedroom and I would watch her come down them in sock feet and just cringe until she reached the bottom safely.

    I love what you did with yours!

  • Penelope

    Me too! I’d walk with pantyhose on and feel so scared, so my sons walking in their socks terrified me (of course, I still guide them up and down because I’m so scared, but they wouldn’t have tolerated that forever, lol)

  • This is such a good idea to prevent slips and it also adds some character to the stairs!

  • What a great idea and they look beautiful much better than carpeting the whole stairs you still get to enjoy the wood.

  • What a great idea that is both safe and eye catching. Our stairs are carpeted (meh) and such a pain to vacuum.

  • I’ve never heard of those. Looks pretty neat. Will they leave gunk on the floor when you are ready to take them off?

  • Penelope

    I don’t think so, when I had to redo a part that wasn’t straight and I pulled it up there wasn’t anything there (it came off cleanly) and it doesn’t seem that sticky- mainly just for safety to make sure the tread doesn’t slip around. But over time it may leave gunk, sometimes it takes a while to really stick.

  • Donna

    They didn’t take away from the all wood floor/stairs at all… in fact, they enhanced them, I think. Very practical and very pretty.

  • Oh how gorgeous!!! I love your stairs, and those mats are so pretty!

  • That’s a great idea! Your stairs still look beautiful and now it’s safer. I have carpeted stairs and still worry about falling…

  • Mellisa

    We don’t currently have stairs but if we move into a home that has them these would be on the top of my to get list.

  • What a great idea. I have slipped on wooden stairs before and it hurt so bad.

  • I need to bookmark these โ€“ I’m dying to replace the berber we have on our stairs and 2nd floor. I was thinking of having a carpeted runner made if we did put in wood stairs, but this would probably be MUCH more affordable.

  • What a great idea! These look so good. Great job!

Initials, Inc Accessories and Parties

I collect cute handbags. I think a lot of women do (along with shoes), and the next perfect handbag is probably always on our radar. They are also a great gift idea, especially if you pick out a classic style that is always in fashion. Personalizing gifts gives that extra touch, and Initials is a […]
