Miniature Veggie Quiche Recipe
Last night I hosted a neighborhood get together for the ladies who live right around our home. We had a great time visiting and it was the first time most of us had ever met, so we had a lot to talk about! I made some appetizers and two different types of truffles {recipes coming soon!}. I have always loved…

DIY Wooden Verse Sign Tutorial
When we started decorating the nursery for Mason, we knew we wanted to hang a verse over his crib. Bradley cut out the wood, making it look sort of rustic, painted it white, and hung it up before Mason was born in April. Until last Friday, it hung on the wall just like that. I’m glad, though, because the original…

Gold & Silver Christmas Mantel
We are almost finished with the Christmas decorating around our house. The girls LOVE having the tree up with lights and decorations. My almost 3 year old came downstairs on Sunday morning to snuggle with me on the couch and said, “Oh, I LOVE you so much, Christmas tree!” She can be quite expressive. I finished putting together my mantel…

Only From Scratch Christmas
Unlike most bloggers out there, my Christmas tree is not decorated. The pumpkins are still on my front porch, and the only thing I’ve done so far to get ready for Christmas is to take the boxes out of the attic. It’s not even December yet! So, I don’t really feel behind. Yesterday I helped some ladies decorate the church…

Beadboard in the Bathroom
We purchased our home almost two years ago, and knew it wouldn’t need any updates, as it was a new construction.

Thanksgiving is for Worship
We give thanks for the things we’ve been given. We give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy in our nation. We give thanks for our comforts, friends, family, and food. But, what if we didn’t have things? What if our freedoms were taken away? What if the comforts and relationships we enjoy were gone? Would our hearts well up with…

Apple-Pear Crispler
Earlier in the fall, I decided to do some research on fruit desserts. There are crisps, cobblers, pies, buckles, crumbles, and probably more. I was curious as to what defined the difference between these, especially a cobbler and a crisp. The basic difference is that a crisp has a topping that consists of flour, sugar, butter, and an egg. A…
