I’ve recently pulled one of my old recipes back out to the forefront of my kitchen. My cheese + barbecue smothered chicken was a dish I made often when I moved into my first apartment and then was married to my first husband. I hit a rut recently, making a lot of the same dishesContinue reading “Cheese & Barbecue Smothered Chicken”

Hot Wheels Backyard Birthday Bash
Okay, fellow momma hens…! Who can relate? MY BABY IS GROWING UP TOO FAST! I am SO shocked at how BIG my little one is. He turns three today, and I canNOT believe that the gummy-bear-looking baby from my sonograms is now a small child. Where did my baby go? I didn’t believe my ownContinue reading “Hot Wheels Backyard Birthday Bash”
Mexican Rice Bowls
I’ve been making these Mexican Rice Bowls for dinner often for over a year now – and I have no idea why I haven’t shared my super easy recipe! If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook (and you should), you may have even seen these featured in a photo post, but I haven’t everContinue reading “Mexican Rice Bowls”
Pizza Crescent Rolls
We are a pizza roll family in my house. Maybe it’s because Jake and I are both 90’s kids and they’re nostalgic – or maybe it’s because we’re snack-lovin’ people… But no matter what the cause is, we’re a snacking crew when it comes to streaming shows or watching a game, and my easy crescentContinue reading “Pizza Crescent Rolls”
Front Porch Refresh
The new house is continually being worked on and improved, and I’m so so happy. It just feels like HOME. Pretend I’ve inserted a heart-eyed emoji here, y’all – that’s how in love this millennial is with her little brick basement ranch. We have little man’s birthday party coming up soon – like, in lessContinue reading “Front Porch Refresh”
DIY Faux Succulent Wreath
I love a good seasonal wreath – but I REALLY love love love a wreath that can be used in several seasons. Having décor pieces that can be kept up for more than a season – or even year round – makes housekeeping a little easier – and even better if it’s affordable! If youContinue reading “DIY Faux Succulent Wreath”
Entryway Décor
In our new home, our front door opens right into the living room. However, the previous owners (or, I guess, ONE of the previous owners) continued the kitchen flooring to, apparently, give it an entryway vibe. To help with the flow of the space, we’ve decided to continue to use the space in that way.Continue reading “Entryway Décor”
Homemade Mac & Cheese
Jake and I both love macaroni and cheese. There’s something comfortable about cheesy, creamy pasta, and it fits in with my down-home style cooking really well. In the past, I’ve attempted homemade crockpot mac and cheese but it didn’t turn out the way I’d hoped. So when I had a hankering recently, I made myContinue reading “Homemade Mac & Cheese”
DIY Farmhouse Sign
I’ve been itching to do another simple, creative DIY project, and today I’m sharing the result! I started a new job at a local elementary school as the bookkeeper. I love the environment and the chance to serve kids and educators, and I’m loving the folks I work with so far, too! Having a newContinue reading “DIY Farmhouse Sign”
From Boxed Brownies to Gourmet Dessert
I love chocolate – and brownies are no exception! I’m absolutely not opposed to a box mix, either – in fact, that’s the way brownies happen at my house, mostly due to time and convenience. But every so often, I want to kind of jazz things up. You’ve been to bakeries or restaurants that haveContinue reading “From Boxed Brownies to Gourmet Dessert”
