I just wanted to come on here one more time and say goodbye. The season of my life has changed and I'm ready to say goodbye to this blog.

2013-12-12T15:09:00.000-06:00

Today I was thinking about different ideas of gifts that were inexpensive yet nice and can be ordered or made in time. Since I was thinking about it I thought I would share some of my ideas. I have several others and probably could have made this a mini series with gifts ideas for moms, dads, & children but I figured that's more then I want to take on right now. Lilla Rose

I like making pancakes for my family but they were always hard for me and I ended up unhappy with the results and mess they made.

2013-10-25T00:00:00.000-05:00

This skirt from Pink Blush is my new favorite! It's so comfy and actually fits well! When I first tried it on I was so shocked at the comfort and fit! I think I wore it 3 days straight!

Triple Chocolate Bread

2013-10-22T11:53:00.000-05:00

This bread is incredibly moist, yummy & healthy! Next time I make it I'm going to try making it in muffin tins so I can put a bunch away in the freezer for snacks. Most people see applesauce in the ingredients and are immediately turned away. Won't the applesauce make it taste like apples? No. It makes it so moist and you don't have to use oil (though I do

Before receiving a sample from Redmond Trading I had never tried using clay before. I had been hearing more and more about it all over and had been really wanting to try it.

2013-08-12T16:05:00.000-05:00

Today I am sharing how to make Herbal Infused Oil. In the pictures below I am making Calendula Infused Coconut Oil. Calendula can be used for just about any skin irritation. We commonly use it for diaper rashes, scrapes, burns, rashes, and cuts but it is useful for many other things. Calendula helps heal the skin quickly so it shouldn't be used on large open cuts. Here are two

I didn't get the list of books I completed in June posted at the beginning of July so, I've combined them here with July's reads. :) The last month has been busy but I'm very happy to have gotten so much reading done.
