Ahhh summertime *breathes in, breathes out* - I feel like a piping hot, steamy bowl of soup (said no one everrrrrrr)! I know...it seems strange to push soup during the warm months of summer (especially when you're suffering from summertime butt sweat). In fact, when I was mixing up this recipe a couple of weeks ago, Derek *humphed* at me and gave me *the look* (you know, *that* look). But soup doesn't have to be a cold-weather-comfort-food only. This simple summer vegetable soup is light, sweet, ... VIEW POST

Five Simple Steps to a Summery Bedroom Refresh
Have I told you lately how much I don't like summer? It's not that I despise the season as much as I loathe the butt sweat, ya know what' I'm sayin' (don't act like you *don't* know what I'm saying - everyone deals with butt sweat). Despite my general dislike of the summer heat, I do enjoy the growth and beauty that blooms this time of the year. Every season has positives and negatives (except fall - the only thing wrong with fall is that it doesn't last year round) and I see summer as a time to ... VIEW POST
Frame It Easy Makes Framing Easy!
If you've followed along for a while now, you know that I love a good frame. Often, I pick old frames up on swap sites and then piece them together with artwork. With old frames, I usually have to find glass to fit as well. Wouldn't it be awesome to have a one-stop-shop that would do all of that for you? Well - it exists! I was thrilled to work with Frame It Easy and showcase a few of their frames that I added to our gallery wall. I'm excited to share how Frame It Easy makes framing easy! ... VIEW POST

Tea Staining for an Authentic Aged Vibe
It's no secret that I love old things. Just ask Derek (he's old). There is something about old-looking stuff that makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Now, I'm not saying Derek is old-looking...but, he *does* have a lovely mix of gray/white hair in his beard that really compliments his "I'm hip but wise" vibe. You can't always nab authentically old things like Derek (I'm super lucky). When you can't, there are ways to add years without spending a lot of time/money. Today, I'm sharing how I create faux ...

Better Than Average Chocolate Chip Cookies
We're going to do a little imagery exercise, okay? Close your eyes. Wait. Don't do that -- keep your eyes open (you know, to read) but try to relax. Think about the kitchen of your fondest memories. It might be a grandparent's kitchen, your mom's kitchen, the kitchen of your best friend, your own kitchen with your kids, or even the kitchen from your local bakery because you can't bake to save your life (it's okay). Once you've snagged this image in your head, take a deep breath in -- what do you ... VIEW POST
