Hey friends, happy weekend and welcome to today’s Kitchen Reveal party. Wish I’d baked gingersnaps and made party punch for the occasion. We started kitchen remodeling back in February and finally, we’re crossing the finish line. A few little odds and ends remain, like finishing the trim paint, ceiling touch up, cabinet lighting etc. But nothing…
Kitchen Ideas Board
Hey friends – happy weekend to you! Hope it’s a great one. We continue forward with our kitchen renovations here – and it won’t be long ’til running water, gas cooktop and ovens happen. (Translation: a real meal that doesn’t involve the electric griddle.) Hopefully this coming week, fingers crossed. And no. more. blizzards. Posting Kitchen…
DIY Easter Mini Garden
This DIY Easter Mini Garden is so sweet and easy to plant. A mini garden brings days of anticipation and wonder for kids 1-99 as the garden grass sprouts just in time for Easter. This is a great classroom project and brings cheer to a nursing home or sick room. Easter’s not so far away. For me,…
Kitchen Demolition Derby (You’re Invited!)
Hope you’re having a great weekend and welcome to the chaos! (Like you needed more, right?) Chaos with a capital C. I’ve mentioned we’re in kitchen remodeling mode around here. We’ve been selling off our current kitchen piece by piece on Craig’s List and the stove went Friday. Buh bye. My dining room table… So how…

DIY Pure Vanilla Extract
Fall is upon us in full swing now. And that means the baking season has begun in earnest around here. So many wonderful treats to bake in the kitchen while the leaves change outside my window. And when the white stuff starts flying, there aren’t a whole lot of choices besides sledding, skiing and snow…
DIY Mint Extract
Mint Extract is used in several of my favorite recipes. And if your garden includes mint, chances are it’s TEEMING with mint right now, just like mine. Last summer I had run-away mint. You probably already know this, but mint is invasive. Meaning it’ll take over. I was initially warned by a true friend when…
