This 100 % cotton fabric pillow is 16×16 in size and has a zipper for easy removal. Fifty percent of all sales will be donated to the Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation in loving memory of my brother Americo Palladino. The goal is to raise $2900.

The Love Story Continues…Friday: Have you ever eaten so much that your stomach looks like it is three months pregnant? I stood in Joel’s bathroom and was caught off guard by how huge my belly looked this morning. I was bloated from days of feasting and I had yet another dinner planned for this evening that included John. I had to get over this quickly so that I could fit into my cute dress. This Girl was in need of a remedy STAT!

I quickly bolted to Joel’s kitchen to whip together an old family remedy to get myself back to normal. I took a lemon, boiled some water, found some honey, a little cayenne pepper and some fresh ginger….Mixed them all together to make the perfect witches brew. For as much as I love to eat, I have always had an unhappy stomach and digestive tract so my mom used to come up with concoctions that she would get from health books to ease my pains. Down the hatch! Read more»

Love story continues… I think John and I were both caught off guard from the kiss. We both backed up from each other and got into the car so he could take me to the Best Western. I don’t really remember what happened on the ride there because I was a bit flustered. Read more»

Dream Pillow # 9

Thank you for helping to support our dream.
This pillow was sold on May 17, 2009!

brownThe Love story continues…Chasing sunsets can be very inspiring. The sun setting has a whole energy of its own. Like a powerful meditation that ends with a burst of light before a new breath turns into a deep sigh. It is the fast approaching end of a day and the reminder of the gift that a new Beginning awaits.

John and I chased the sunset up to the highest peak of the mountain to make sure the crew that was following behind us would have a great shot before it set. Once we found the perfect spot, we got out and walked to the peak where the sun looked bigger than I have ever seen it. The color of the sky was full of the most amazing hues. Read more»

Kiss My Bundt

bundt-cakeI sent John on a mission to find something sweet for dessert and he stumbled upon Kiss My Bundt Bakery which specializes in delicious, made-from-scratch bundt cakes and southern-inspired confections. What a treat!

He brought home a sample of three mini bundt cakes that just made me loose my mind. Not only can you choose the cake flavor, but you also get to choose your frosting À la minute.

What a wonderful dessert to serve at your bridal shower or wedding reception. On the menu is a champagne bundt cake that is made from real champagne. Pair that with straw-raspberry buttercream frosting and you have a dessert worthy of a toast.
