I was looking for creative gift wrapping ideas for Christmas on Pinterest, and this one from Makoodle caught my eye because of it's use of various materials & textures. I'm loving the organic, natural trends this year ... think plain brown paper or newspaper, fabric, twigs and string. For a better look at the gift wrapping above, click here.

HAPPY FRIDAY (the 13th) ...

I'm not superstitious, however, sometimes I find that other peoples' superstitions have an affect on me. 
For example, TODAY I have been listening to stories on TV/Radio and IRL, about the horrors of Friday the 13th, and I'm starting to get a little spooked. It's the power of suggestion, I suppose ... I am weak. Lol. 

But seriously, I'm avoiding elevators today. And escalators. 

Hopefully today treats you well!

Welcome to my blog!

I have been wanting to set up a very simple, fun, light-and-fluffy blog/journal for a long time ...

I'm a full time MOM (aka maid, chef, tutor, nurse, AND MORE!), as well as a 9-5 school district employee.  Sometimes it seems as though my days dissolve into a fantastic blur of colour, sound and chaos - most of which I can't remember! Carliflower (a nickname of mine when I was a kid/teenager) was created so that I can document my life ... my daily activities & events, my interests, my obsessions, my likes & loves.  

This blog is a place for me to be me. A place where I can appreciate the little things and celebrate the big things. And, if anyone reads this and gets some enjoyment out of it ... it'll be the icing on my bloggy cake.

Cheers and love,

C.

PS: I love my family, fashion and things that sparkle ... expect lots of the aforementioned in this blog. Also, I make up words. You've been warned.
