We have two important summer holidays coming up that require a show of Patriotism. I made this Memorial Day – July 4th Paper Wreath out of pretty inexpensive craft items and I love that it will get to do double duty for Memorial Day and Independence Day in July. This is an easy wreath to …
I’ve done a little Thrift Store Shopping over the last couple of weeks and I thought it would be fun to share some of the things I found. Â Some of them are really pretty and different. Â Some of them are terrifying. Â Stick with me til the end. Â If you dare. Thrift Store Finds First, a …
When the weather starts to get warm I pull out my Crock Pot. Â Generally slow cooker food feels more wintry/fall-ish, but when it’s hot outside and you don’t feel like heating up the kitchen, the Crock Pot is a great option. Â This week I made a Gluten Free Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese and it …

Â That’s the one you’ve seen on Fixer Upper where they shmear mortar over the brick so that it’s mostly white with some red peeking through. Â However, I have learned my lesson on jumping right into a craft and not doing a …
My daughter is on 3 softball teams. Do you know what that means? It means that we spend 5 meals a week at a softball field for the next couple of months. Minimum. If there’s a weekend tournament, we’re basically camped out at the field for 2 and half days straight. That’s a …

I’ve been trying to branch out from my normal chicken or steak dinners. Â Mostly because I’ve had more than a few “Steak again??” comments from my lovely children. Â I’ve tried some new pork recipes, but after serving shrimp cocktail at Easter and realizing my son LOVED it, I decided to try an easy shrimp dish. …
