One of the best things about our new place is that it is right next door to my in-laws. I LOVE being close to family!! This also allows us to have major run around/explore space. And my play place is in the garden!! This year we went a little crazy with all the...

Tony was on a fishing trip for part of last week and that was all the excuse I needed to cast on a few projects. It was my reward after putting kids in bed for the night. Not that I needed any rewards but…I told myself I did so I didn’t feel bad about...

I just discovered a couple great new food items to me! Love finding something new to help change up the food routine that we get into! The first up is Bedtime Yogi tea. I love Egyptian Licorice Mint Yogi tea (it’s hard to find, so buy it when you see it!) but I...

For months now I have wanted to make a natural disinfectant for my under-the-counter cutting board. Germs don’t bother me that much, but I was starting to think that it would be nice to spray something on my built in cutting board instead of just wiping it with...

It’s rhubarb season around here!! I couldn’t be more happy about that since I have been out of homemade jam for a month now. I’ve lived my entire life eating rhubarb freezer jams and would not have it any other way. The boys and I got busy pulling...

I am first a knitter. I have always wanted to crochet. For some reason crochet just didn’t click with my brain for the longest time. And then I got it! I can’t tell you what it was…the time was just right. Or, 3x the charm… All that to...

I can’t resist a good jar. I don’t know why. Thankfully, I do have a bit of a reason to buy jars since I freeze and can A LOT of food from the garden. However I do try to re-use jars…for freezing you can reuse salsa, pickle, etc. jars…so...

Cholesterol and I have a history. Drat that! I hang my head in shame, but I mostly blame my family. No actually, I do take some responsibility for it. I love my caramel apples just as much as anyone else. So I take fish oil to help with my elevated levels. Only...

Curtains are one of those things that I want to look good and be functional but don’t want to spend the money on. Especially the curtain rods! They always seem to hit me in the gut with their price tag and blahness. So I told Tony that I wanted to try to make our own....

The weather is rather less than ideal around here…rain/snow/ice pellets! No sun. Dreary. For days. So this is what is bringing me sunshine right now. A knit along with Ella Mae Knits. Yarn is Noro Silk Garden. Pattern is Jared Flood’s Noro Scarf. Free...

Tony and I knocked out some killer projects this weekend! So thrilled about them that I had trouble sleeping Saturday night. {My life must be pretty soft if that’s what keeps me up at night!} More about those projects later. Today I want to show you something I...

One of the things I was most looking forward to about moving into our new house, was hanging my Sarah Jane Studio prints I got for the boys. You know how you set little milestone markers for yourself and then you cling to them??? That’s how it was with the...

Ever since we moved in a few weeks ago, my kitchen counter space has been full of spices waiting to find their home. I finally got it done and love the result! It’s a super easy project and helps free up a lot of valuable cupboard space. Plus, it makes it easy...
