Home Remodeling In mid-2019 we decided it was time to update our laundry room which is also our kitchen pantry. One of the previous owners had installed built-in shelves, but they were starting to sag and had no adjustability. The shelves were stationary and couldn’t move up or down. Some of them were super deep
The Summer of Scandal
If you don’t follow me on Facebook or you aren’t a real-life friend, you may have wondered where I went? What happened? Did I drop off the face of the earth this summer? No. Summer has been fun and busy…and fun. However, my free time has been dedicated {I’m ashamed to say} to watching Scandal.
S’Mores Bars
A friend recently brought these S’mores bars to our house. They were devoured by everyone. And they are peanut-free! She was kind enough to share the recipe. I made them in a 9 x 13 pan, but highly recommend a larger 10 x 15 pan. Mine still tasted yummy, but were “tall”. Very tall.
Cucumber Salad
Many, many thanks to a friend for making this cucumber salad for us during a summer play date and for sharing the recipe. It is delicious and so easy. I will have to admit I’ve made about three batches of it in the last few weeks. It’s the perfect summer side dish. Save Print Cucumber

How to Create a Fairy Garden
A couple of weeks ago I posted about painting fairy houses and clay pots. The kids really did enjoy that craft and then planting their own flowers for the Fairy Garden. But I also needed a few other supplies for our garden to come together completely. Let me say my motto was “go big or
Stella Turns SEVEN
How on earth is my baby girl SEVEN!?!?!? I am in denial. She’s growing so fast and switching over from things like Sophia the First cartoons to Dog with a Blog. And from princess movies to High School Musical. UGH!!! Here are a few of her other favorites she recited to me over lunch today:
Tinga de Pollo – Kroger’s Taste of Mexico
If you have been in a Kroger over the past few weeks and have NOT noticed the Taste Of Mexico displays, you must have gone in with your eyes closed! Kroger has been celebrating the Taste Of Mexico this month with special events, recipes and tastings within the store. We tried out a few new
Cucumber Basil Pepino
Remember that yummy Mojito recipe I shared in the past? Well, those same friends just introduced us to the Pepino. And YUM! This is another fabulous summer cocktail. So many thanks to them for sharing their recipes with us. We attended a Lobsta Bake at our pool last night and I decide to bring a
Water Bottle Holder
When it comes to being a stay-at-home-mom with three little kids…well, I’m becoming more and more in love with small conveniences. And some of them are totally unnecessary, but I’m ok with it. Like my new “water bottle holder”. I cannot tell you how many times the kids throw their water bottles into a nice
