Key Lime Pie Ice Cream
Ice Cream has always been one of my favorite desserts. In fact, I remember as a young girl laying in bed, hearing the clanking of metal spoons on glass bowls, getting angry that my parents were enjoying a nice bowl of Breyer’s without me! We registered for an ice cream maker when we got married, and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed it…

Brown Paper Package that Made my Day
This arrived on my doorstep the other day and I am SO excited about its contents!! I’ve been waiting about a year to use this product, and with some Christmas and birthday money combined, I was able to finally purchase some…. That’s right, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint! I’ve read many posts about people using this paint and really loving it,…

The Vegetable Garden
One of the things that my husband and I both enjoy is gardening, although, I do have to say he does a majority of it now that we have children. We planted a garden last year, but it was right after we moved in, and there wasn’t as much planning and preparation as there should have been. Once the fall…

Framed Initials
This morning when I got up I made a list of some projects that have been hanging over my head for a LONG time. During my sleepless nights these days {pregnancy induced insomnia} one of the things that keeps me awake is thinking about unfinished projects. So, in hopes of eliminating some lack of shut-eye, I’ve been tackling my list…

A Few Blogs Worth Mentioning
Over the past few months I’ve come across some blogs that I’m really enjoying. I love gaining inspiration for food, the home, and life, so I thought I would share with you my recent blog finds. First of all, Mignois Home, is a blog that I was introduced to last week, via a highlight from another blog. After reading Jen’s…

Tie-Up Window Shade
Today I have another little piece of the girls’ bedroom to show you. You can read about the paint color and pillows, if you missed those. And, for anyone who might be a first time reader, this room is a work in progress, so I’ve yet to have an entire room reveal! Hopefully, more will be done in the next…

Euro Shams with Flange {Peek of the Girls’ Room}
If you’ve followed along for awhile, you know that my goal for the month of February was to finish decorating the girls’ bedroom. February has obviously come and gone, and here we are one week away from April, and I’m still not finished! I figured that I didn’t need to wait until everything was complete, though, to give you some…

Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
One Saturday, a couple weeks ago, the girls begged me to make some cookies. I knew we were out of chocolate chips, my husband doesn’t like peanut butter cookies, and the girls aren’t too fond of oatmeal. So, I quickly searched the pantry and my handy Old-Fashioned Cookies cookbook to see what we could create. Based upon the ingredients I…

A Great Staycation
via Happy Spring! Our area is looking beautiful right now as flowers begin to bloom, the grass is turning green, and the weather has definitely gotten warmer! I love this time of year! I’m back! And, no, I didn’t have the baby, in case you were wondering if that was the reason for my absence. My husband had the past…

Spring Green Chicken Salad
Chicken salad sandwiches are one of my favorite lunches of all time. I find them especially delicious served on a croissant, with a nice glass of sweet tea or lemonade. A few weeks ago, while visiting my parents, Bradley and I had the opportunity to go out for lunch one day. We visited one of my parents’ favorite restaurants, and…
