If you’ve spent any time around here, you know how much I enjoy a comforting and nourishing bowl of soup. Soup is one of life’s perfect solutions. Bits of this and that in your vegetable crisper? Make soup. Leftover chicken, turkey or beef? Make soup. Ham bone? Soup. Beets in season? More soup. Giant package…… Continue reading soup’s on ~ potato soup
I like to use my crockpot on Sundays as much as possible. I can prep some of the ingredients the night before, and the slow cooker does all the real work. Stew is one of my favourite things to make this way. The wonderful thing about stew is that you don’t need to be…… Continue reading crockpot beef stew
I’ve been trying to get in the habit of menu planning. Last year, I began adding a meals section to the weekly plan in my bullet journal. My intention was to plan for all meals, however, that doesn’t always work. If I followed through on my dinners, though, I felt successful. I would say that…… Continue reading chaos control: meal planning
Last time I showed you how I made a quick and easy Christmas swag for my front door. I prefaced by saying this: Waste not, want not. A penny saved is a penny earned. Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. A bird in the hand is worth two in the…… Continue reading how lovely are your branches: using the leftover trimmings from our christmas tree {part 2: Christmas Wreath}
Waste not, want not. A penny saved is a penny earned. Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Do what you can, where you are, with what you have. These wise sayings make a lot of sense when you…… Continue reading how lovely are your branches: using the leftover trimmings from our christmas tree {part 1: christmas swag}
Do you have a project that has loomed over you for ages? I have had one. That’s right…I finally got around to painting my df girl’s wardrobe! I shouldn’t tell you we’ve had this hand-me-down dresser since 2013, but it’s the sad truth. It is sturdy and practical; heavy as all get out and was dark…… Continue reading point for me…finally painted that wardrobe
If you’ve been around here at all, you know I love me a nourishing bowl of soup. It’s just so comforting when the thermometer’s falling, and something light, when a heavy meal is just too much for a warm day. My df girl is all in. She also enjoys soup, but then again, she’s totally…… Continue reading soup’s on ~ mushroom soup
I profess, I am not one to jump on the January bandwagon of goals and resolutions. Not that I’m against getting organized–far from it. I truly want to have an organized and efficient home. I do like checklists and setting goals, though I’ve learned to do so in pencil, because I have trouble with the…… Continue reading chaos control ~ jewelry organizer
Last time I shared some wrapping ideas. Today, I’d like to share some creative and inexpensive ideas for what’s on the inside. A couple of years ago, we were expecting our first grandchildren (twin boys). I decided the theme of A Christmas Carol was in order–Christmas past, Christmas present, and Christmas future. Each of my…… Continue reading christmas gifting ~ ideas
Like so many, I love Christmas. My df girl and I started watching Christmas movies on the first of November. She perfected her Christmas playlist and listens to it whenever she can. My cl boy cannot understand this. He believes there should be a law: NO CHRISTMAS MOVIES, MUSIC OR DECORATIONS UNTIL DECEMBER 1. Caps…… Continue reading christmas gifting ~ wrap it up
