We’ve spent the past few days celebrating Eric’s 25th birthday. This year, celebrating mostly involved massive quantities of food, thanks to an incredible BBQ pulled pork pizza at The Granary, a peanut butter pie and a mixed berry pie in honor of Pi Day (and Eric’s birthday), and some homemade blueberry cake donuts. Hopefully, the…
a little etsy shop.
Hey folks. I have a very exciting announcement! My wonderfully talented (and soon to be happily married) sister and I opened an Etsy shop. For those of you who don’t know, Etsy is an incredible network of artists, crafters, and collectors who sell their homemade or vintage items online. We’ll be selling homemade items (currently…
family and strawberries.
Over the weekend, we ventured down to Clarksville to visit my dear parents as an early mother’s day/mom’s birthday celebration. Yes, folks. That does mean that we watched the Kentucky Derby in Tennessee. It was weird. But we ate Derby pie (or should I say “the first Saturday in May pie” because “Derby pie” is…
peanut butter banana smoothie.
There are just a few things I’m excited about today: Old-school TV shows: Okay, so I just discovered that The Wonder Years is on Netflix. I haven’t seen this show since elementary school. I like to think of it as the Boy Meets World of the 80’s (set in the 60’s), you know? Plus, how…
headband.
At last, I have released the crafter within me. I, along with the rest of you, have a Pinterest board full of craft ideas. I, along with most of you, have never actually made anything from this board. That all changed today. I made a headband. I literally made it three minutes ago and was…
a Christmas tradition.
This is our second Christmas as a married couple, which means we should have some Christmas traditions to carry over from last year, right? Well, I think our only tradition is a kind of strange one. Last year, we lived in a teeny-tiny apartment (400-square-feet), so we didn’t have room for a Christmas tree. Instead,…
getting (sort of) crafty.
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again. My sister is super crafty. She knocks out projects in one evening that would literally take me weeks. It’s incredible. I, on the other hand, have a pile of halfway finished projects sitting around the apartment, for which I fully cast the blame upon Pinterest. There…
woodland art fair.
Weekends go by way too quickly around here. I wake up every morning hoping that it is Saturday. But, 6 out of 7 times, that’s just not the case. This past weekend was jam-packed with excitement. Friday night was the first BCM event of the school year (I still cannot believe that I am no…
throw pillows.
One small step for man, one huge leap toward domesticity. I can do a lot of things, but I cannot sew. I can clean. I can cook. I can bake. I can eat more than Brent White (it really did happen once). But sewing, along with almost anything else crafty, has always been outside of…
our DIY weekend.
To give everyone an update on our apartment, I’m happy to say that the flooding problem is fixed! A plumber came and installed something (I wish I could be more descriptive, but Eric isn’t here to remind me of the process) that will drain the rain underground, rather than into our apartment. Wonderful. So now…
