ReMarkable Sister

I've posted about my sisters before - I have 6 of them. Having six sisters (I don't know anyone else who has so many), having MY fantastic six sisters, is one of the things that makes me the luckiest person in the world (along with having the best husband, best parents, best friends, etc - I know, lucky right?). Although my sisters are all very different I am amazed by each of them because they are ALL, well, AMAZING! But this post is mostly about the one closest to me in age - Emily, she is 2 years, 6 months, and 8 days older than me.
Emily is super smart, funny, fun, caring, and CREATIVE!!!!!!!!! Her degree is in interior architecture and design, so as you can imagine, her home is always super cute. But not only does she have cute decorating ideas, she is good at pretty much everything domestic. She is a great cook. Throws parties like you wouldn't believe (she did my bridal shower and I loved it - a country picnic that was so cute!) She creates incredible gifts for people. Anything domestic thing you could think of she can do, and do great. Maybe one day when I grow up I can become more like her. For now I am just grateful to have her as my sister.
But because she is so creative I told her several months ago that she should start a blog of all her ideas so she can help other people to try to become more like the domestic diva she already is. And a week or two ago (or maybe more) she did. It's called ReMarkable Home, you should check it out HERE. And now is an ideal time do so because she is doing a give away of one of her cute ideas. I'm glad that she is doing this blog so that I can become a little more domestic. I hope you will find it helpful too. I know there are tons of blogs out there with craft ideas, and recipes, and decorating tips, etc. So what makes Emily's blog unique. I would have to say it is her party ideas. At least I haven't seen other blogs with party ideas. Really, she could be a professional party planner. And she shares each aspect of the party, including theme, decorations, invitations, food, etc. I love her parties!
Maybe if you are lucky you will one day get to meet her, she is super awesome. Lucky me that I'm related - we share the same blood (kind of) so I have hope that one day I can harness those domestic skills as well (plus all her other great qualities, like being such a super sister).
