The past few months my main house projects have been putting together the nursery and a big boy room for my older son. I haven't been much of a decorator in the past but this time I really enjoyed it! I did a few crafty projects for both rooms and the one I wanted to… Continue reading Whale Canvas Nursery Art

Easy Refrigerator Dill Pickles
The night before I went into labor I actually made four jars of dill pickles. Maybe it was an odd pregnancy craving but I was very determined to make homemade pickles in those last few days. This was my first time making homemade pickles. I used the following recipe: How to Make Dill Pickles @… Continue reading Easy Refrigerator Dill Pickles

Roasted Cherry Tomato Pasta
The cherry tomato plant in our garden would be 10 feet tall if we had stakes that high. What is it about the small tomato plants that makes them grow like crazy? We grew those small yellow pear shaped tomatoes one year and it was absolutely out of control as well. Grew up and over… Continue reading Roasted Cherry Tomato Pasta

Little Brother is Here!
Maybe he was just trying to keep up with big brother already, but little brother surprised us this week by deciding he was ready for the world 11 days before his due date. (Big brother was a week early - I am a lucky mama to have two early and healthy babies.) We are home… Continue reading Little Brother is Here!

Parmesan Zucchini Rounds

Coffee Grinds & Egg Shells
We have not yet started a compost at our new house. We should've gotten on it as soon as we moved in, but composters can be expensive and we had some other things that took precedence. At our old house we had a really big, 3 section composter that FIL built. We also had a… Continue reading Coffee Grinds & Egg Shells

Unpaper Cloth Napkins
I always wanted to make my own cloth napkins. But then I had a kid and life happens and I just never got around to it. Finally I broke down and bought some from Etsy a few weeks ago. Side note: I absolutely love Etsy to the point of being mildly obsessed. Anyone else have… Continue reading Unpaper Cloth Napkins

Lemon Arugula Pasta
This is a really delicious vegetarian pasta dish we made a few weeks ago (and have on the menu for later this week) with good-for-you greens. A friend actually made this dish for us and brought it over when we had our son. I always wanted to make it again but had forgotten about it until… Continue reading Lemon Arugula Pasta
