House & Home: family trees


Family heritage and history is important. Many people, myself included, research their 'family tree.' My favorite part is finding old photos. Here are a couple of ways to display those photos.

Nostalgia: anne of green gables


I was recently reminded of a childhood tradition; Anne of Green Gables. At least once a year my mother, sister, and I would sit down to watch this lovely little girl. I can't wait to watch this again.

Wanderlust: frost



It's that feeling you get when you wake up all bundled up and warm; with a chill in the air and frost nipping at your nose. It's the sound of the frost bitten leaves under foot; the trees covered frozen dew.

Cooking: applesauce


Recently, I welcomed my son into this world and although he's only a few weeks old, I have been finding myself preparing for our future adventures. One such adventure; which I take very seriously, is his nutrition. I've always been around home grown, beautiful food and want him to have the same respect for food. I'm going to attempt to make all his food and I was super excited to find that my favorite food blog SmittenKitchen also has a baby food blog! I wanted to find a recipe for applesauce for myself, and I found this recipe for babies! I can't wait to share this recipe with him; in the meantime I'll enjoy my own applesauce.

House & Home: tiles


I know that these are kids toys, but how much fun would it be if your hallway, entryway, or even kitchen were tiled with these geometric blocks. I can imagine this in my kitchen some day. Would make a great backsplash too!

Nostalgia: bubblegum


It's that feeling when you see a bubblegum machine and you just can't resist the urge to find a quarter. Sometimes you get lucky...

Wanderlust: harvest moon


The autumnal equinox has already passed us by this year, but we can still enjoy the benefits of a beautiful full moon on October 19. I've had the pleasure of experiencing the moon rise this year and I look forward to some sky gazing this month.
