CHRISTMAS AROUND THE HOUSE | 2024
12/26/2024
It’s the day after Christmas and, as typical of the rest of my 2024, I’m behind. I never had a chance to post Christmas around the house because I was still decorating up until a few days ago and never got everything fully finished. I’m still going to share because that’s just how my life seems to go lately and who gets tired of seeing Christmas anyway? Setting up this little retro record player spot, I was inspired to recreate a nostalgic Christmas reminiscent of the ones from my youth. This blank wall in our entry was a project I was hoping would get done before Thanksgiving but we have yet to start. Maybe 2025 will be the year. I managed to get up four of five trees this year. The one in the front room sparkles like glitter in the window. I went simple with vintage glass ornaments...

WHAT’S FOR DINNER | WEEKLY MEAL IDEAS
09/29/2024
Welcome October. It’s my birthday week and I have a special dinner request – fillet mignon and individual scalloped potatoes that I don’t have to cook. Sounds like heaven. I can’t wait. The rest of the week, I don’t think I’ll get as lucky as to not cook. But I’m gonna give it the old college try to milk my birthday as long as possible. Here’s what we’re having for dinner this week. Let’s see how many days I can get out of being the one to cook.

DIY FALL RAFFIA WREATH
09/19/2024
As I began to dream up what I wanted to do on the front porch for Halloween this year (HERE is the Halloween porch last year), I knew I wanted a wreath of good size that would work Halloween through to Thanksgiving. This year I’m thinking lots of natural, found fall elements as the base with Halloween mixed in. When Halloween is over, the fall look will last until Thanksgiving. That inspired this DIY wreath made only from a wire wreath form and raffia. I tied small bunches of raffia, about 18 inches long, around a 16 inch wreath form. I ended up using one and a half packages of raffia. The finished wreath ended up being about 20-24 inches across. I went for a messy look but the final wreath could be neatly trimmed for a more compact, perfectly shaped wreath, if desired. As the wreath came together,...
