It’s already mid February and the next fun holiday is quickly approaching…President’s day is on Monday! Oh wait….yep, I meant Valentine’s day which is this Thursday 🙂 Speaking of President’s day though, all you bankers and state employees enjoy that holiday off work! It’s a good thing I really like (more…)

I can’t believe Christmas is in two days. I’m pretty sure we’re all having the same conversation as we do our last minute shopping, wrapping and baking. I finished the shopping and wrapping today so that means I’m planning to spend the next two days (more…)

Is it taking me as long to write this series of posts as it took the crew to build our house? Nope. It’s taking longer 🙂 I feel like I’ve been busy for a year and I cannot tell you how much I’m looking forward to (more…)

The posts in my home building series are filled with lots of words and as much as I love to read, sometimes I also just like to look through photos! And if that speaks to you too, you’re going to love this post! I thought it would be fun to look back at our kitchen being built from start to “finish”. I put finish in quotes, because we still have (more…)

There are a couple things in life I’ve just been drawn to for as long as I can remember. One of those things is the holidays. When I was little I would spend an entire afternoon decorating my room for Christmas setting up my own tree and hanging lights, my Grandma always sewed us holiday pajamas and my CD player only held Christmas CDs. I distinctly remember the fireplace burning and music playing in the background every Christmas morning as we opened gifts and waited for breakfast to be ready and I can never (more…)

These superhero muffins – no, I didn’t come up with that cool name myself – are in the newest cookbook added to my little collection, ‘Run Fast, Cook Fast, Eat Slow’. It’s written by an Olympian marathoner and her college roommate now chef. I discovered it last time we had dinner at my sister in law’s house and honestly every time they say (more…)

When I moved in with Allen over eight years ago, I quickly got in the habit of looking for recipes or ideas to make food fun. Hailey was, and is, a pretty picky eater so I wanted to get creative to help her branch out a little bit and and honestly I ended up really enjoying it too. I made colored pasta, smoothies with hidden veggies in cute glasses accessorized with (more…)

It took me a little while to get this next blog post written, because we recently moved into our new house!!! It’s been exciting and exhausting, but we’re having fun making the house our home and adding a cozy factor to every room! And now another summer canning season has come and gone. To wrap up the canning series on the blog I’m ending with red beets! I don’t know if you’d agree that I saved the best for last, but I did save the easiest for last. My grandma and I canned 8 quarts of beets in the morning and still had plenty of time to spend the afternoon in Amish country having lunch and shopping with my Mom! The only disclaimer worth mentioning before we jump into the step by step instructions is (more…)

We were so excited on June 6th, because it was the date we were set to break ground on our new home! We drove out after work to see the progress annnnnd…nothing. Okay, no problem. They’re probably starting tomorrow. Next day…still nothing. Apparently, there was a (more…)
