At last, my curtains!!!!
Since moving into this house 3 years ago, I’ve had a hard time with window treatments. The living room has 3 windows, the dining room has two windows and the kitchen has a patio door. When we first moved in, I had heavy dark brown curtains with window valances for the living room, two striped […]
Coffee filter wreath and vinyl lettering
In addition to painting the doors, I also added some vinyl lettering to the mudroom entry area. I originally bought the vinyl for my glass door piece but it wasn’t quite big enough. I think it helps blend the door and the kitchen table with the rest of the house. Here it is…. Last week […]
Catching Up!
The weeks have been flying by around here lately and I’ve been working on a lot of little projects around the house. Winter will soon be here so my spray painting days have come to an end for now but I’ll be back at it in the spring! This past Monday through Wednesday we were […]
Creme De Menthe Cake
This is one of my favorite cakes to make but more importantly one of my favorite to EAT! I am not a huge mint/chocolate fan, it’s ok, sometimes I like eating but I don’t crave York Peppermint Patties or Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. This cake is a hit every time I make it. I […]

Grilling out with our neighbors – brats/hot dogs and potato salad2. Grilling again- chicken, baked potatoes and corn […]
My new old kitchen chairs
I have disliked our kitchen table and chairs for a few years now. They are the ugly honey oak color that I think almost every table and chair that was made in the early to mid 2000’s was stained. Ok, well not every table and chair but every table and chair that we could afford […]
Cooking in the crockot – Lasagna
I was hoping to have a new meal to share earlier in the week but this week has just been flying by! Maybe the birth of my niece on Monday threw things out the door, not really sure but what a great reason to have your week go haywire! Anyways, this wasn’t on my menu […]
A time of refreshing
I love my life and I am so thankful that Mr.A has a great job that allows me to stay home. I am pretty content to do my housework, run errands and cook dinner for everyone. Somedays though the laundry, cleaning and just the routine of it all makes you feel a little blah, maybe […]
