Bringing Annuals Inside
Summer is coming to a close which means colder times are on the way. I’ve enjoyed my annual plants this year, but most of them are getting ready to be done for the season. In the latest Martha Stewart Living magazine, they had a great idea: bring in your annuals and pot them inside! They may not last all winter,…

Pinterest Inspired Project: DIY Ruffled Tote Bag
Ever since I joined Pinterest last year, I’ve enjoyed finding great ideas, being inspired, and collecting lots of pins for my boards. Recently, my goal has been to actually do something with all of that inspiration that’s gathered. My plan was to put together tote bags for the girls for when our baby was born. Inside would be little handmade…

Baked Pimento Cheese Dip
Seeing that I live in the South, only miles from the home of the Masters, it’s only fair that I have something on my blog about Pimento Cheese. I’ve always somewhat mocked this spread, finding it a horrid looking addition to potlucks, ladies’ teas, and afternoon weddings. Boy was wrong! I love this stuff. My friend brought over a…

Cooking with Eggplant
We returned from a 2 week trip to discover that our garden had been ravaged by deer. Almost everything was nibbled or devoured, and only eggplant, watermelon {yay!!}, cucumbers, some squash and a few tomatoes remain. Thankfully, we’ve had a good crop this year, so I’m not complaining, just a bit sad. The eggplant production is completely out. of. control.…

A Night Away at Spring Grove Farm
Sorry for the absence the past two weeks. We have been out of town, visiting both sides of our family. We drove to my parents’ house first and spent about 4 days there just hanging out. Then, we continued North to visit my grandparents, then on to Bradley’s parents’ in central PA. The girls loved reuniting time with their cousins…

Modern Safari Nursery Reveal
It’s been 3 1/2 months since our little guy was born, and today is the day that I can finally reveal to you the nursery! Some of this space has evolved over time as I’ve finished putting together the last projects. You may remember my nursery inspiration and then my mood board that I shared with you. Then, I shared some fabric…

Chocolate Slice Shortbread Cookies
My sister recently gave me a new cookbook titled, Around My French Table, and I have thoroughly enjoyed looking through it. Reading cookbooks is a hobby of mine. In fact, there is often a cookbook or two on my nightstand reading stack. This cookbook is great because there are hundreds of French recipes, but they are not all complicated. The…

My Week in Photos
Nap time was abbreviated today, so just a post with pictures. I’ll be posting more details on many of these pictures very soon, but in the meantime, here’s a little photo recap of what I did this week. Put together some finishing touches in the nursery. Reveal to come next week! Spent a number of hours on this ladder painting.…
