Farm to Table
I just love going to the Farmer’s Market! Even if I don’t buy anything. Seeing all the gorgeous fresh fruits and veggies makes me want to eat them! We never went to any growing up, so I don’t have much to base this off of aside from the little ones in AZ, but I’m pretty sure our local Farmer’s Market is the bees knees! They … Continue reading Farm to Table

Scent of the Season
“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” – L.M. Montgomery I love this time of year! I love the crispness in the air, the change in the light, the fiery colors of the trees, and spicy scent of Autumn! Nothing brings me back to my childhood like the smell of Fall. I have such fond memories of my early childhood. … Continue reading Scent of the Season
Hanging Apron {or coat} Hanger
J bought me some really lovely aprons for Christmas last year that I love! But they are always stashed in a drawer and I never remember to use them! I had pinned a few “dream kitchens” wherein the aprons were hung in some fashion. So they not only were handy when you needed them, but they added character to the kitchen décor too! So I … Continue reading Hanging Apron {or coat} Hanger
Hey Homeowner!
Does everyone aspire to own their own home someday? Just wondering. What is the draw anyway? Are we all just programmed to think that owning a home means you “made it” in life? Maybe. But this blog is not about that. Ever notice that as you grow up and become an “adult” there are a ton of things that no one ever told you? Like … Continue reading Hey Homeowner!
Music to My Ears
Holy man it has been forever since my last post! Most of you know that I was out sick for a loooong time! I will likely tell you all about it in a post, but not right now. Not today. Not when it is so fresh and tender. I do have for you, however, a playlist! Since it’s been almost a YEAR since my last … Continue reading Music to My Ears
California Turkey *Bacon* Burgers
The other day I was laying in bed and this recipe popped into my head. Ever happen to you? Some of my best ideas come when I least expect them! We had gone to a burger joint a few weeks ago and I had this amazing guacamole burger! But, as usual, it was huge…I could only eat half of it! And it was loaded with … Continue reading California Turkey *Bacon* Burgers
Breeding Spiders {Plants}
Did you know that spider plants multiply? It’s true! They grow little buds that can be snipped and potted to grow into another plant! Ok, maybe this is yesterday’s news since there are actually quite a few plants that can multiply themselves….or be split into two or more plants. But I have a spider, and I had to snip some buds, so that is what … Continue reading Breeding Spiders {Plants}

I’ll admit that I am not the best housekeeper…far from it! But when I clean, I really clean! And I generally always do a thorough spring cleaning! Or, at … Continue reading Spring: Clean, Organize, De-clutter *Checklists*
Slow Cooker Potato Soup
Potato soup is one of J’s favorites! He loved the potato soup my step-dad made, and he loved the potato soup he was served in a little restaurant in Germany. I use the slow cooker to make this super easy, but you could make it in a pot on the stove just as easily! Ingredients: Print this recipe! 6-7 red potatoes, chopped 1 large onion, … Continue reading Slow Cooker Potato Soup
