{About Me}
- Alisa: a pina colada
- Welcome! I'm Alisa & thanks for stopping by. I love treats, & seriously, is there a better treat than relaxing on a beach with a pina colada (virgin, of course) in one hand & a book in the other? This blog is a collection of my favorite "treats" in life... My favorite people, places, things, ideas & home decor. I adore & love my adventurous husband, & my darling, creative,& spirited 4 children.

{Thoughts}
“A good friend is a
connection to life-
a tie to the past,
a road to the future,
the key to sanity in
a totally insane
world.”
-lois wyse
“It is as we serve, as we take time to express
interest and concern in someone other than
ourselves, that we are more likely to gain a
glimpse of who we really are and what we can
ultimately become.”
-Gordon B. Hinckley
“Another fresh new year is here...
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . ..
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”
"Whoever is happy
will make others happy too. "
~ Anne Frank
"There is nothing like staying at
home for real comfort."
-Jane Austen

I just saw these little magnetic round boxes at our local Dollarama...what a neat idea! You could also make an everyday calendar using 31 of these.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog (especially the photos on decorating).
