Have you ever eaten frozen pineapple pieces? If you have, I am sure you know they are amazing. So when my dad came to town and requested homemade orange pineapple ice cream, I had no problem jumping on board. I did have a problem hunting down a recipe, though. All the recipes that I saw […]
Window Shopping at Tea Collection
Okay guys, I have a confession to make. I’ve been slacking off a little bit lately. This whole let’s-find-a-place-to-live has been occupying my time and my mind, leaving me feeling not very creative or very motivated at all. Add to that a baby that won’t nap unless she’s nursing, and you’re left with one post […]
Tree Ring Wall Art
My view from where I sit on the couch is a half-empty wall. I installed that shelf when the dresser that was holding my brass lamp lived there. Now, a chair and guitars are in its place. I stare at that wall a lot, since I sit on the couch nursing my little babe a […]
So Long, St. Pete Pier
The St. Pete Pier has now been closed for good, awaiting demolition than a new building. During its last week open, though, Philip and I took the kids to have one last visit to the Pier he and I grew up visiting. I took the opportunity to use our new polarizer lens filter. I haven’t […]
Closet Pantry Shelves
Whoa, exciting title, I know… but hey, it’s exciting for me. Remember in January I managed to re-organization my kitchen, including our hallway closet turned pantry? Yeah, you might not. That’s okay. After a good solid six months, that neat space turned to a hot mess. Oh. my. goodness. And just to keep it real, […]
Making A Headboard
DIY upholstered headboards are nothing new, many great headboards can be found throughout the world wide web, especially while browsing Pinterest. A proper, or improper, headboard would look pretty funky in our tiny, not-styled-at-all bedroom. And I’m not talking about funky in a good way. So when my mom came in town and was purchasing […]
Rhubarb Ice Cream
It’s been a little while since I’ve shared an ice cream recipe, but rest assured, I have a recipe that is sure to please. Now listen, I’ve never tried rhubarb before this, but it was sitting so pretty in the produce aisle I just couldn’t not pick it up. I know, double negative, give me […]
Pictures in the Kitchen
When we last left off in the kitchen, I had just installed a rail above our stove. As you can see, it was lacking some pizzazz, specifically in the above the bar and below the cabinet region. Well you can officially call that dilemma a problemo no moro. That’s right, I just said what I said and […]
Oh How I Long For…
I dream of a big house, with high ceilings and hardwood floors, situated on pasture as far as the eyes can see. I dream of fruit trees and cows, and being able to watch my children run and play under the sun. Instead, I find myself in this small house, with dirt on the ground […]
Healing a Yeast Rash Naturally
Really, that yeast rash is a bugger. Especially when using cloth diapers. Yeast sticks around and can be very difficult to evict. I have had my fair share of yeast rashes in the last two years I have been changing diapers. So far Eliana has had two yeast rashes, (one of those included thrush in […]
