I was so excited to get some of your comments on my last Craftsy review saying how much you’re enjoying these classes! I am loving them as well, and I’m so excited to finally be learning some things that I’ve wanted to know for a very long time. Today I get to introduce you to…
Hey everyone, YOU WON!! Okay, almost…for 100% darn sure, by the time you’re done with this post. Did you ever think you would win a giveaway?? Me neither. But, awesome news, it’s your lucky day. Myself, and 3 other blogger friends were feeling bummed that all of our readers couldn’t be winners of a giveaway. So, we put our heads together and made it possible for you ALL to win something super amazing and super perfect for the upcoming holidays…
Check it out!!!
Who knew there was so much to know about knives and how to use them?!? I seriously have learned more in the last 40 minutes or so from this free, online Complete Knife Skills class from Craftsy then I ever expected! My in-laws gave us a great set of knives early on in our marriage, but I had no…
After being on the road for most of the summer, it’s been really nice to finally get settled back into making regular home cooked meals. Rather than order pizza (again), the kids and I recently decided to make our own at home. Some of you may be home-cooked pizza experts, but this was a first…
How many times, in your stressful life, have you dreamed about laying out on the beach with a great book? ‘Or so she says…’ to the rescue! So, to further expand on our favorites, all of the OSSS contributors got together to give away their favorite books, perfect for summer reading! The coolest part is, one person will win EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. That’s right, the whole bundle! That’s 15 books, yo. Oh, but it gets better. Get Away Today, the greatest travel agency ever and ‘Or so she says…’ contributor, offered another winner a 3-night hotel stay in Anaheim or San Diego (winner’s choice) with their choice of two adult theme park tickets… PLUS, they get the 15 book bundle too!
Do I have the best contributors, or what?!? As you know, ‘Or so she says…’ is all about great ideas for women, from women. And the women who write (and have written) for this blog are who have made it so fun for the past 5 years. Thank you to all my contributors and guest bloggers! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
So, we have a couple fun things for you, today and next Monday. Today, I wanted to give y’all the chance to get to know these ladies better. And, what better than with a good ole fashioned Q&A Blog Hop! I carefully crafted 10 questions that I wanted them to answer, that would help you get to know more about them and their blogs. Each one of these contributors have been hand-picked by me, and I know you will love all of their blogs. So, please show them some love today, give them all a big high-five, and bounce around to read their interviews, check out some of their favorite things, their blogs, and what makes them tick. And of course, I’ll answer the questions too
Over the years I’ve collected a random mix of luggage pieces in all colors and sizes. We’re about to depart on a BIG adventure as a family, so I’ve been taking stock of our collection. Most of our luggage pieces have some defect … broken zipper, stuck handle, stiff wheel. Very frustrating.
In the next two months, we’ll be driving approximately 4,500 miles across the country (and back) to visit family, moving to Washington DC and then eventually departing on international postings for my husband’s new job. Bottom line – luggage will be a HUGE part of my reality!
So, my cute friend, Mandy of Mandy’s Recipe Box, is having a birthday! If you haven’t been to her blog, you must… heavenly recipes await you. How about a little Creamy Prosciutto Tortellini and Mint Oreo Dessert??
To help celebrate Mandy’s special day, we wanted to join with her and some friends for a giveaway celebration. Who wants a Galaxy Tablet? Spending money? Let’s get this party started!

To celebrate the birthday of my cute blogger friend, Carrian of Sweet Basil, she’s hosting fabulous giveaways this week, one of which I’m happy to be a part of! Let’s waste no time and get right to it. This giveaway is all about spring cooking, so how about some must-have kitchen items, like a new set of pots and pans, Wusthof knife set, and microplane grater?!? Awesome!

Congratulations to the giveaway winner ~ Heather Thomas! I think it’s every child’s dream to have the perfect playhouse … a place to escape, relax and let imaginations run wild! While my kids are generally content with a thrown together chair-and-blanket “fort,” I can only imagine how their eyes would light up if I was…
