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”
Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
I am a huge fan of breakfast food at any time of day, and this past weekend I made a breakfast casserole for dinner that we really enjoyed – so I just had to share it with y’all! And, even better, it has tater tots in it! Here’s what you need: Salt + pepped 1Continue reading “Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole”
Terra Cotta Pot’o’Gold Craft
This week contains St Patrick’s Day! Since it’s a Wednesday night, I am planning some fun themed activities for my youth group. We’re going to learn about some traditional Irish prayers and faith-based sayings, and I wanted to make them a special treat – but one that is pandemic friendly, so it only contains individuallyContinue reading “Terra Cotta Pot’o’Gold Craft”
DIY & Upcycled Coasters
Y’all know I love to get a little crafty, and this week is no exception! I love having unique and handcrafted items in my home, and, while I do have some coasters, they don’t all match or add a ton to my spaces. (Well, my Rae Dunn ones are cute as pie, but since IContinue reading “DIY & Upcycled Coasters”
Helpful Dollar Tree Items for Parenting in the Pew
This one is for all of my Christian momma hen friends out there. Those of you who attend church regularly and have a little one (or multiple little ones) know that church is an entirely different experience when you’re on your own versus when you have a child to tend to. I’m not complaining –Continue reading “Helpful Dollar Tree Items for Parenting in the Pew”
Easy Stainless Sink Cleaning Process
I know that farmhouse sinks are all the rage, but unless you have a pretty hefty budget or luck into a house that already has one, you may not end up with the Chip and Joanna-esque sink of your dreams. In my last two homes, I’ve had stainless sinks. And I’m not even mad aboutContinue reading “Easy Stainless Sink Cleaning Process”
Easy Crock-Pot Roast Chicken Dinner
It’s COLD, y’all. Like, snowing in Texas kinda cold. Oddly, it’s snowing all around Tennessee, but not IN Tennessee, so this week we’ve not had any snow falling on our mountains – just a lot of rain and cold wind. When it’s this kind of cold in the evenings, you probably find yourself wanting somethingContinue reading “Easy Crock-Pot Roast Chicken Dinner”
Valentine’s Day Gift Bag for Your Little One
It’s mid-February, and that means everyone’s favorite heart-shaped holiday is approaching! I’ll be honest – both Jake and myself believe this is a totally commercialized and materialistic holiday, but I also feel like any reason to celebrate your loved ones is worth taking advantage of. So, having said that, I took the opportunity to makeContinue reading “Valentine’s Day Gift Bag for Your Little One”
