Bathroom progress has been moving along even though you haven’t seen a post about it in a couple of weeks. We’ve had to do a few things that weren’t worth blogging about like reattaching and leveling the toilet because every time you sat on it, it was like being on a roller coaster ride. We [...]

I’m a giver by nature. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the look on someones face when you give them a gift that’s just for them. One of my favorite things to do is make gift baskets! I’ve done “themed” baskets for birthdays, baby showers, wedding showers, and holidays… Mother’s day is like 3 weeks [...]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter yesterday. Ours was very low key because my husband had to work in the evening, but we did enjoy a lovely brunch and today I’m sharing one of my recipes. It’s funny how certain holidays you associate with certain foods. In our house Thanksgiving means turkey, Christmas means [...]
