Have you heard of the craze that’s sweeping the nation? It’s a new kind of barbecue sauce. It’s from Alabama and it’s amazing. I first saw it on the The Kitchen on the Food Network and then it popped up in my grocery store’s magazine. It is tangy and a smidge spicy. It will be …
Last summer, at a Farmer’s Market, I got an incredible photograph of some gorgeous tomatoes. These were, like, county fair award winning tomatoes, at least in the looks department. I stumbled across the photo today while I was trying to find some inspiration for a printable and I said to myself, “Self, what says summer …

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 made a couple of recipes from it before, these Chicken Wings and these Honey Almond Apple Puffs, …

So, I’ve made a commitment to redoing my fireplace with the German Shmear application. 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. 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 lot of …
