My friend e-mailed this recipe to me and I tried it the other night and we LOVED it! INGREDIENTS: 1 pkg. (16 oz) bow tie pasta 1 lb. ground Italian sausage ½ C. chopped onion 1 ½ tsp. minced garlic ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (careful-doesn’t seem like a lot-but adds quite a kick!) […]
Summer Slacking
Since coming home from vacation we’ve been busy, busy unpacking, doing laundry, having friends over, playing in the pool, riding bikes, eating on the patio under the new gazebo, playing croquet, hiding from the sounds of our roof being replaced, hanging with neighbors at a fire, running off for a quick unplanned trip to see […]
Road Tripping Part 3
This morning I’m recovering from a fireworks hangover, hubby is back at work after having 19 days off and the kids are (thankfully) still sleeping. So I’m taking time this morning to try and blog some more about our road trip. I’m going to write another separate Haven post some day soon, well at […]
Road Tripping Part 2
If you missed Road Tripping Part 1, click on the link to read about the start of vacation. I don’t want to bore anyone to tears but at the same time, this is my blog and also kind of like a scrapbook of sorts, so if you don’t want to read about our vacation, I’m […]
Road Tripping Part 1
Marriage Monday will be back soon! We are on vacation and I’m sure that will give us lots of great things to talk about for Marriage Mondays, so until then, here is a little taste of our vacation. Tonight I am sitting in a hotel room in the beautiful city of Charleston South Carolina. We’ve […]
Blooming Blogger: Tiffany at Living Savvy
Hey y’all! I’m down south in Nashville for a few days before heading to Haven! Last night the waitress at the Waffle House said her son is “Fixin to be the three years old soon.” I’m loving the southern drawls, the y’all and fixing. Today we are off to sight see and have some fun! […]
The Kitchen Cabinets are Painted!
After my Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations Failure, I needed to finish up the kitchen cabinets before we left on vacation. Last night when we should have been going over the packing list and stuffing more goldfish into snack bags, we were instead putting cabinet drawer fronts and doors back on the frames in the kitchen. For […]
Home goals mid-year check in & summer goals
Back in January I blogged about our 2012 House Goals. I’m not sure if I had too much to drink on New Years or if perhaps I was just feeling a bit ambitious but looking through the goals and seeing what I’ve accomplished so far this year, I’m not encouraged. Master Bedroom and Bathroom […]
Marriage Mondays: The Big “D”
Before we delve into the topic today, we want to mention two things. First, our intent and our spirit today is not one of judging those who are divorced. We are just sharing a bit of our hearts and what we’ve been through and what we believe about our society and divorce today. This post […]
Painting the Kitchen Chairs
With only 12 days to go before we hit the road and tour some of the US of A, painting the bottom half of the kitchen cabinets seemed like a great idea to me. Too bad my husband didn’t agree with me and most of my friends. So I listened to reason for once and […]
