This salad came about because of this pin. I had lots of broccoli on hand and in an effort to actually do some of the things I have pinned on pinterest so I went for it! I started by reading the recipe and the directions and then deciding to do it my way. It's not right or wrong, just kind of how I cook. I chopped my broccoli into bite sized pieces and put it on to boil. I didn't want it too soft though so as soon as the water boiled I turned it off! I let it sit for about 5 minutes and then ...

Summer Broccoli Salad
Spray Painted Chandelier
So my friend Kelly had this old brass and porcelain chandelier in their house when they bought it and they decided to upgrade their lighting so I was lucky enough to get this beauty totally free! It sat in my to do pile for months before I finally got around to tackling it. I just wasn't sure how I wanted it to end up (or even where it was going to end up). Then we started the dining room makeover (chairs, wood sign, table) and I knew what had to happen. (Similar picture to mine before because I ... Read the Post
Mod Podged Fabric Covered Switch Plate
Or house was built in 1929 and there are still some fun reminders of that sprinkled throughout. One of these reminders was in my craft room and it was less than fun to look at. It appears tho have been both an outlet and a phone jack, but at this point it is completely turned off and out of order! It had a cover that wasn't attached and wasn't very pretty to look at either. In my effort to wrap up some of the small projects around the house this week I decided to tackle this easy cover up! I ... Read the Post
Biscuit Pizza Cupcakes
This is one of the easiest and fastest recipes ever, which is good because by the time dinner rolls around I am exhausted from making breakfast, lunch and 500 snacks that a big fancy meal is the last thing I want to do! I love using premade biscuits to help cut down on the prep time (see here)! It is totally versatile to do you could totally fancy these up and make them a little more grown up. This batch was floor my kids so we went with a traditional pepperoni. There are only four ingredients ... Read the Post
Upgrading the Patio Furniture
My hubby and I are outdoorsy people. When we get kid free time we like to spend it outside: hiking, camping, walking around downtown, going for long drives down dirt roads, but rarely are we hanging out inside. The patio (no matter where we lived) has always been where we do our best talking. We have the most meaningful, funny, silly and serious conversations sitting outside surrounded by mother nature. It sounds weird to type all that out, but there is something so comforting about being ... Read the Post
Breakfast Biscuit Cupcakes
My kids love anything that comes in cupcake form so I am a big fan of recipes that let me sneak veggies in and not have to fight about eating them! This recipe is great because to you can use whatever you have in the fridge and no special trips to the store are needed. I am also watching what I eat and counting calories with the "my fitness pal" app and yet I don't want to feel like I am missing out on all the yummy food that everyone else is eating. This recipe is great for that as well because ... Read the Post
Bathroom Storage Into Kitchen Spice Rack
For as long as my hubby and I have been together our frequently used spices have lived either on the back of the stove or on top of the fridge. Neither of these options are particularly attractive, but they are super convenient. I do 99% of all the cooking in our house, but we both love lots of spices and bold flavors so our spice collection is a bit overwhelming. It literally takes up an entire shelf in one of our huge cupboards. A while back my hubby and I picked up a bunch of spices from ... Read the Post
Spray Painted Fiesta Chairs for the Dining Room Table
I have a confession. I love to start projects. I get going all crazy like, a million miles an hour and then just when the project is rounding the home stretch I get distracted, tired, bored...whatever you call it, it's lame. My mind is racing with 100 projects I want to start, but I still have the last 100 left to finish. And finishing them is not a big deal, it's just the little stuff that's left. You know the not fun stuff...the boring details. So right after we moved into our house ... Read the Post
Vintage Hollywood Birthday Fun
So it's official, I am now old. :( No, not really, but it sure felt that way today at the gym! We celebrated my 30th birthday over the weekend with a vintage Hollywood birthday party! Here are some pictures of the food, decor and festivities! For my vintage Hollywood party I made a bunch of hor d'ourves! There was the best tahini dip ever, stuffed mushrooms, baked brie, spicy buffalo meatballs and chocolate filled strawberries! It was all served on beautiful trays that I scored from the ...

Free Glasses For Everyone!
This is a sponsored post - all opinions are my own. So a while back I stumbled upon this seemingly to good to be true offer for free glasses. It happened to come at a time when I had misplaced my glasses and had just about had enough of the squinting, or as i lovingly refer to it as, wrinkle building. I went to the website and started looking around at the frames. I will tell you now, there aren't as many in the free section as there are in the paid sections, but the inventory seems to ...

THE Best Stuffed Mushrooms Ever!
I love stuffing. It is the best part of Thanksgiving and my mom's stuffing is the very best ever. I mean there is something so comforting about the foods you grew up with and the feelings they invoke in you. This stuffing is one of those foods! I can remember it being Thanksgiving morning and hovering over the stove while my mom prepared her special stuffing, stealing bites of it before it was ready (and when she wasn't looking) and the smell that filled out house with promises of bellies full ...

Wheel of Fortune- The Craziest 1 Year and 36 Hours of My Life
Did you forget where we left off? Me too! Go here and here to read the first two parts of my crazy wheel of fortune experience!! Okay, so now that we are caught up, let's go on! I have flown in and out of Sea-Tac enough times to know my way around and to know that it is always an adventure. This time was no different. I was flying Alaska and they have gates in pretty much every corner of the airport! I checked in and ventured to find my way to my gate. It ended up being two escalators and ... Read the Post
