I had no idea that you could make homemade vanilla extract using only two ingredients until I received this cute bottle from my sister for Christmas. Now I want to make bottles upon bottles to have on hand, use and give as gifts. It would be perfect for birthday, Christmas, new neighbor, bridal shower or wedding, housewarming or just because gifts. In preparing to make my own, I’ve compiled some helpful info. to keep in mind. Though vanilla beans are costly, the final cost versus store-bought vanilla extract is a significant savings. Another benefit of making homemade is you know the ingredients are 100% clean. Instead of buying vanilla beans in a grocery store, look online for better values. Etsy and Amazon are good options. There are different types of vanilla beans all with varying flavor notes. Madagascar vanilla beans are most commonly used in vanilla extract but any...

WHAT’S FOR DINNER | WEEKLY MEAL IDEAS
02/06/2022
If I don’t plan my weekly meals in advance, the picture above is how I feel every night as dinnertime nears. “Nothing sounds good”, “we don’t have all the ingredients”, “it takes too long to make”, yada, yada, yada. Then dinner turns into a bowl of cereal. We are into the second month of 2022 and I’m still doing well planning my menus out in advance. 2022 MUST be my year, right? Let’s hope! Anyway, here is what is planned for dinners this week. My wild and crazy Saturday night consisted of stocking up at Costco and the grocery store so I have no excuses not to cook every night this week. It’s going to be a good week, everyone.

HOME SWEET HOUSEWARMING GIFT
01/27/2022
Last summer our son purchased his first home. It was a wild ride in this crazy market but after much searching, he found the perfect starter home with just enough small fixer upper projects to keep him busy until he’s ready to upgrade to something bigger. I had fun picking out a few things to throw into a basket for a housewarming gift. Let’s take a peek at what I found. BASKETS // Start with a basket to hold everything. I found this set of two collapsable baskets on Amazon. Everyone can use cute storage options. HOME SWEET HOME SIGN // A new house needs to be decorated. I thought this little sign was perfect. RING DOORBELL // Pretty much a necessity for any new homeowner. MAGNETIC KNIFE HOLDER // Everyone has knives so everyone will need a safe place to store them. POO-POURRI // I mean come on....
