I admit it. Making a Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub is a bit out of my wheelhouse because… well… I don’t like Pumpkin Spice. It just isn’t something that I enjoy, regardless of its recent popularity. I tend to enjoy Chai flavors like in my Chai Ice Cream or DIY Chai Latte mix, but I haveRead more
This baked pear recipe get’s me thinking. I don’t know exactly why – but we never really had pears when I was growing up. I used to have fun carving apple jack-o-lanterns, writing messages on banana skins, and trying to catch grapes in my mouth, but I can’t remember ever having a pear until IRead more
I’m a big fan of paper and stationary. I mean, I designed my own planner for crying out loud. So, while it is true this project could be a gift… I’ll skip the formalities and admit I made the DIY Marbled Paper Stationary for myself. I’m not even ashamed. I can’t wait to use it! ThereRead more
As you all know, Free Printables are one of my favorite things. I find myself enamored with one adorable thing after another, and now that Valentine’s Day is coming up, I’ve been pinning Valentine’s Day Free Printables right and left. How can I not!? From Disney to Nerdy, from Valentines to Home Decor, there are soRead more
My darling hubby makes a great crepe. Following his trend of excellent baked goods (like these chocolate chip cookies or these yeast rolls) he took to crepes because someone, somewhere, told him they were difficult. It turns out they are really not that tricky at all. After years of making them in a skillet, we’veRead more
There has been a huge trend for foil/shiny elements in home decor lately. I see tons of beautiful pins of amazing foil art prints that are just too lovely not to want. And believe me, I want them all! When we decided on the theme for baby James’ room hubby and I knew that weRead more
Pumpkin gets a ton of press around the fall. Everything from Pumpkin Spice Lattes, to the traditional Jack-O-Lantern and Pumpkin Pie. But what about the rest of the year? Sure, you might not be craving nutmeg and cinnamon roasted pumpkin desserts in the middle of the summer, but pumpkin has other uses beside food. IRead more
I can’t believe it has been a year since our last camping trip. So much has changed in that time, and looking back seems like watching an old movie. But, nostalgia is a funny thing and sometimes scent, feeling, taste or all three can take you back to a singular moment in time. For me,Read more
It is safe to say that not a day goes by that I don’t have contact with some sort of electronic screen. My phone, my computer – heck even my car has a shiny glass surface waiting to collect my fingerprints and dust. Keeping everything clean can be a hassle. I carry a microfiber cloth with meRead more
When pregnant, there are a lot of things to avoid. Many of them are obvious. No drinking, no smoking, no trampolines etc. But sometimes the restrictions take you by surprise. US medicine is often focused on the “why risk it?” mentality. For that reason, the list of no-no foods that my doctor provided me includedRead more
It is Memorial Day Weekend and you know what that means! Summertime is here! If you feel anything like I do, you spent way too much time indoors this winter and are looking forward to some time outside over the next few months. I am jazzed for backyard barbecuing, for porch-swing lounging, and for walksRead more
