One of my absolute favorite touches to any room in my house is a floral arrangement. I’m the kind of girl who buys herself flowers just because they bring me joy. Buying premade arrangements can be expensive – and ordering a custom arrangement even more so. If the grocery store has some cheap individual stemsContinue reading “DIY Backyard Bouquet”

Turkey Kielbasa One-Skillet Dinner
If you’re from the South, you might be wondering what in the Sam Hill kielbasa is and how you’re supposed to pronounce it! Most of the people I know in East Tennessee call this “smoked sausage.” Up North, in Ohio and the surrounding states, where most of my extended family lives and where I wasContinue reading “Turkey Kielbasa One-Skillet Dinner”
Porch Tiered Pots & Sign DIY
My rental home has an interesting layout. The kitchen door of the house is, by the blueprint, a side door. The front door is in the living room. However, the family who built the house was rather clever. The best view faces away from the road and driveway, so they positioned the house to purposefullyContinue reading “Porch Tiered Pots & Sign DIY”

I’ve gotten prettyContinue reading “Top 5 Parent’s Choice Baby Products to Use”

I love chicken, and I LOVE Mexican food. Right now, with COVID-19 precautions and stay-at-home mandates, I am seriously missing the comforts of my favorite local Mexican restaurants.

Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
A hot bowl of soup may seem like a winter food to many, but I’m the kind of girl who doesn’t think that food has to be limited to seasons. I can eat ice cream in the middle of winter with a hoodie on while I binge watch Netflix. I can drink a mug ofContinue reading “Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup”
Homemade Meatballs
I am a huge fan of all foods Italianate! I love meatballs – in pasta, in a sub, as an appetizer. So I decided to try homemade meatballs recently. I was terribly nervous because everyone says that meatballs are so similar to meatloaf – and, confession: I’ve never made a good meatloaf. They always fallContinue reading “Homemade Meatballs”
Affordable Closet Organization
We all have a spot in our houses (or many, many spots) that is a total DISASTER ZONE. I’ll be honest – I have two personalities when it comes to cleaning and organization. #1 – The slob my parents saw while raising me. The Barbie graveyard in the basement playroom, the dirty clothes heaps, theContinue reading “Affordable Closet Organization”
