‘Tis the season for turkey and cranberry sauce, and I swear I can smell the stuffing already. Maybe it’s just a hunger-induced hallucination, but I do feel like I’ve been ready for Thanksgiving since the day after last year’s (What can I say? I’m a food-loving kind of gal!).

With the holidays quickly approaching, I know I’m spending more and more time in the kitchen. Not only do I feel more in the mood to cook a hot meal when the weather cools down, but I’m also practicing my best potluck dish to bring to family gatherings this season. (For the record, I make […]

Freshening things up with a new quilt is a great way to get a new look without completely redecorating! Switching from a dark bedspread to […]
Have a hard time getting out of bed in the winter? I know I do. It’s just too tough to leave the warm blankets when it’s cold and grey outside, especially since I’m usually up before the sun is out! Sometimes all you want to do is just stay in bed and relax. I’m here […]
