    For the last several years I have been trying out different zucchini bread recipes and not having a lot of luck. I had used the same recipe for years and years but couldn’t find it and figured I had somehow lost it along the way. I went through my family recipe books but still hadn’t […]

    When my dad was growing up, his mom and grandma were lunch ladies in the local school cafeteria. This was back in the days of from scratch cooking, where everything was homemade and nothing was frozen. Dad still looks back fondly on his memories of school lunch. How could he not with two of the […]

    This past month has been a little messy emotionally for me, so I’ve been keeping myself as busy as physically possible and canning has taken up a HUGE amount of my time. The big frosts finally arrived so harvest time is officially over and to be honest, I’m a little relieved! Who would have thought […]

    I believe in the power of prayer. Call it meditati I believe in the power of prayer. Call it meditation, intention, energy, prayer... whatever name resonates with you, it is powerful. I have seen it work in my life over and over again, in big and small ways. And though sometimes it’s hard to open my heart and be vulnerable, He always accepts my offering. No matter how feeble, no matter how insignificant. He has the power to magnify. Please join me and many others around the world today in prayer for Australia ❤️
    Oh, look! A photo of the elusive bathroom I keep s Oh, look! A photo of the elusive bathroom I keep saying I’m going to post about but still haven’t. Ha! Suckers! Sadly, this is the best it’s gonna get until I can figure out how to convert Live Photos to regular ones so I can actually blog something.⁣ ⁣ For now, here’s a dirty bathroom mirror selfie to hold you over. Just kidding, y’all know I’m too OCD to not clean the mirror first. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Anyhoo. On a related note, I blogged. Not about the bathroom, but it’s a post so there’s that. I lie, I did talk about the bathroom but... whatever, that was just a little part. (Link in profile, duh.) P.S. My husband loves the new mirror because he can finally see his face. Guess that’s important to dudes too. Who knew?

    More dead garland for your viewing pleasure. . I d More dead garland for your viewing pleasure. . I ditched our big bulky stocking hangers this year and tried some command hooks. Why didn’t I do that forever ago? I mean, duh! It’s so nice not having to worry about felt melting to the wood burning stove. Plus, they look cute so there’s that. The “live” greenery, not so much. Let’s call it dried garland? Parched? Preserved? Dehydrated?🌲
    So, let’s talk social media vs reality for a sec So, let’s talk social media vs reality for a second. Doesn’t this staircase looks so dreamy? Yeah well, in real life this cedar garland is a crispy critter. I’m finding dead greenery alllll over the floor, up the stairs, even tangled in the Shebeast’s fur. I’ve misted the dang stuff with water every single day but it still died a slow, painful death. Next year I’m shelling out for the good fake kind! Somebody better warn my hubs. 😂 . I guess what I’m saying here is don’t look at someone else’s Christmas squares and feel like you don’t measure up. Because if you walked behind their scenes you’d realize that they really don’t either. Your Christmas is beautiful and honestly, your family doesn’t even care. They’re just happy Santa is coming.
    I recently had the opportunity to go to a client’s home and take photos of some work our family flooring business did. It was so cool to see the finished product after all those hours of labor! We don’t usually get to see the end result of the homes we work on, so it was a neat experience to have the sweet homeowner allow us access. How cute is her living room all decorated for her first Christmas in her new place? Love it! . Here’s a view looking down at the honed marble fireplace and gorgeous 4 1/4” white oak floors we installed. I love how the wood and stone compliment each other! Sorry LVP but wood floors will forever be my favorite. ❤️ #pynefloorcoverings . Products we used: @daltile Center City Arch Grey Honed Marble 12x24 @sheoga_hardwood_flooring 4 1/4” Select White Oak with @durasealwoodfinishes Silvered Gray Stain and Satin Max Finish

Decided to make a little extra cookie dough to freeze for when things get hectic during the final countdown to Christmas. . Call me an emotional eater but, when things get stressful, a hot cookie makes everything better. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂🍪

I mean, what kind of monster doesn’t like pie? . Ready for Christmas or not, I have to admit this evergreen paper lined toy box turned out dang cute. I shared the before pic, products I used, and my process on the blog today. Stop over for details. Also, if you know a cute kid with treasures in need of containing, I’m going to be listing this handsome feller in a day or two.
