We are moving out at the end of this week! Woohoo! Dear temp housing, thank you for providing us a place to stay while we wait on selling our California home and purchase a Illinois one… but hot dang am I more than excited to move out and into our new home! I’m itch’n for some…
Words of Wisdom from watching CW’s Arrow? Apparently so.
The shark that does not swim, drowns. Who would’ve thought I’d gain some realization from watching Arrow (… and yes, for any of you that do watch Arrow, I know that I’m 2-3 seasons behind). So I think I’ve realized that my issue is that I keep fighting this move, even though I’ve already moved….
Midwest Adventure Musings
Things I’ve learned thus far (being from southern California): When little white things fall from the sky with no big snow storm on the radar, they are snowflakes, not ash from a brush fire. Rain will not get rid of fog like it gets rid of smog. Winter is super super dry, like, my scalp…

I was downstairs, sunk into the couch watching my darling daughter play with…
I do, so I will.

Holiday Baking ROUND-UP!
(insert banjo tune here) What better excuse is there to flour up the kitchen like the holidays?? Pecan Caramel Tart I saw the most mouthwatering photo of a pecan caramel tart, beautifully dusted in snowy powdered sugar in Homemade Winter by Yvette van Boven. I thought it’d make the perfect gifts for the sweetest neighbors…
Blueberry Crumb Muffins
