Today’s bourbon cocktail recipe is brought to you by a guest contributor, the Resident Bartender of this humble house — my husband. He’s a bourbon guy. He can appreciate all the different kinds of bourbon, and can sip it straight, and can actually tell the difference between brands and the way their made and…other bourbon […]
How to Make a Mater Costume from a Cardboard Box
I was going through old Halloween pictures today, and I stumbled on my favorite costume in the history of ever. It was the year my three-year old was obsessed with “Cars,” and especially Mater, so naturally I had to make a Mater costume that year. I’m terrible at sewing, and woodwork, and drawing, and painting…but this? […]
How to Make Herb Salts
Thanks to an unseasonably warm fall, my garden is hanging in there. I’m still getting some tomatoes, and I’m holding out hope that my brussels sprouts will actually have time to mature this year, instead of getting allllmost there and then getting killed off in an early morning frost. And my herbs are definitely still going […]
The Hot Chocolate Bar
Usually, after school, we have a tight schedule. The kids have a snack and get to work on music lessons/homework/practice/whatever else is going on that afternoon. But every once in a while (usually on Fridays), it’s good to be The Fun Mom. The Non-Nagging Mom. The Homework Skipping Hot Chocolate Embellishing Mom. So we recently […]
How to Plan Your First Girl Scout Daisy Meeting
My kindergartner has had a year of thrills so far. After tagging along to elementary school since she was in the womb, she finally got to go this year as a bona fide student. She was ecstatic. And now? After tagging along to all her older sister’s Girl Scout meetings and field trips, she’s finally a Daisy […]
Stovetop Spiced Apple Cider Recipe
Oh, goodness, I do love apple cider. It’s just so…fallish. And winterish. And when you make it on the stove it makes your entire house smell HEAVENLY, it really does. In a house where people still argue with me over showering and try to re-wear dirty clothes, good smells are not taken for granted. So […]
Fly Fishing My Cares Away
I take the kids to a lot of classes. Piano…swimming…church…band…I’m always ferrying someone somewhere to take a class for something. So it was a nice switch-up for me when I took my own class a few weekends ago — at an Orvis fly fishing school. I’m not a fisherperson — I caught my first fish when […]
Macadamia Nut Milk Breakfast Smoothie
We’ve been trying out different kinds of nut drinks around here. We’re big on almond milk…and coconut water. So when we had a chance to try out macadamia nut milk, we were all over it. Which is good, because macadamia nut milk is really healthy for you. Like most nuts, macadamia nuts are full of […]
How to Care For Handknits
It’s my favorite time of year. Well, yes, fall. But more importantly, it’s the start of knitting season. I know you can (and I do) knit year-round, but when there’s a chill in the air, and a nice cup of cocoa or cider on-hand…well, that’s when I really like to curl up on a comfy couch […]
Spooky Halloween Popcorn
OK, so — y’all know me. I don’t do scary. No haunted houses or scary movies or ghost stories. I only made it through “Stranger Things” with all the lights on and my husband sitting next to me. But I do love funny and quirky, so that’s what we do for Halloween around here. Today, I’m over at See Vanessa Craft, […]
