If you don’t like miniature racoons and fake moss grass then this craft isn’t for you (I bet you also hate unicorns and sunshine). If, however, you can’t get enough of those tiny quaint trees and you love anything clever, this is just the craft for you! I love myself a little nature shadowbox. In […]
Sometime a couple years back, I decided to try Nutella, and we quickly grew more than a little hooked. Since it was “hazelnut” spread, I naively figured that since it was nut based, it was a delicious, too good to be true healthy treat. I never even bothered looking at the ingredients, and when I […]
Last week I turned 38 and nothing in my life changed. I don’t feel different, sadder or better. 38 isn’t much of a monumental birthday. Not like 35 or even 36, when you go from being mid to late thirties. Or maybe 38 is considered late thirties now? I don’t know. At any rate, I […]
One of my biggest spring break projects to tackle during our 2 week “vacation”, is to clean up the craft cabinet. What was once a hyper-organized collection of beautiful supplies and tools, has since become a tangled mess of hoarded craft projects and things I don’t need. So I’ve been going drawer by drawer, shelf […]
I’m excited to announce I’ve joined the Wayfair team as a new contributor. I’ll be sharing recipes, cooking tips, and maybe a DIY project or two, once a month. My first post has been published, right in time for Easter, and Mother’s Day. This butternut squash and kale frittata is an easy, yet impressive dish […]
I’ve been experimenting with adding new snack and breakfast items to my rotation. Things I can grab when I’m feeling hungry but have very little time. Things that will prevent me from dipping into a bag of chips or stopping at the coffee shop and grabbing a muffin. Chia pudding is a somewhat new-to-me concept, […]
I should begin by admitting that I have an addiction to baked-goods accessorizing. It’s true…I can’t whip up a batch of cupcakes without throwing some sprinkles on there. Making a cake? I have to add ribbons glues to toothpicks because, like I said, I have an accessorizing problem. So when you combine the delicious decorating […]
If you are at all involved in some sort of social media, whether you blog or not, you may have heard some hulabaloo about the American Blogger train wreck that won’t quit. Basically, the trailer was released for the film, and all hell broke loose on Twitter (you can search the #americanblogger hashtag on Twitter, […]
When I was a little girl, I would watch my grandmother stir a bubbling pot of strawberry-rhubarb sauce on the stove. It was destined for great things, like vanilla ice cream, pie, or angel food cake. And even for a picky, picky eater, that sauce was one of my favorite springtime treats. My grandmother’s garden […]
Dress – Madewell, Jacket – Zara, Shoes – Zara, Necklace – J. Crew, Bag – Reed Krakoff The church we’ve been attending for the past few months tends to lean towards the more dressy side, rather than casual. The pastor is never without a dress shirt and sport coat, and most of the congregation makes […]
