How to Can Fresh Peaches – Canning Fruit with a Water Bath Canner
October 4, 2014
We bought a water bath canner a few years ago and have barely used it. Probably because we are busy, had a crappy kitchen, and did not have a dishwasher. But now, since we have a beautiful kitchen with a dishwasher we canned our first batch of peaches! A couple blogs showed us how to can peaches […]
Anchor Wedding Garter Belt – Where to Customize Yours
September 26, 2014
One day, in my nautical-wedding-craze, I was searching “#anchor” on Instagram and found Mama’s Little Baby. The shop had just made a cute anchor headband / hairbow for little girls! Although I don’t own any kids (I don’t even sound like I should have one), I still enjoy seeing her new items, photography, and watching her online […]
Remodeled Kitchen Fully Revealed
September 19, 2014
As you may have read in this blog post, we remodeled our kitchen and dining room 100 days before our wedding. The rehearsal dinner was at our home. It was so fun (yet a lot of work) hosting our family and friends in a ‘new’ home! Tyler and I did the demo and painting, but […]
Wedding Chalkboards from Vintage Window
September 12, 2014
Chalkboards are fun, easy, and trendy way to personalize your wedding. I love that they are reusable. For my wedding I tried not to buy things that were one time use. What would I do with boxes full of “congrats to the new couple” signs? With chalkboards though, you can use them for any occasion […]
How to Make an Elevated Dog Feeder from a Trunk
September 10, 2014
A few years ago we made this elevated dog feeder for water and food. It has worked great for our Saint Bernards! They do drool and drip water, so the metal and wood is looking a little tired. The trunk doesn’t look quite as nice after a few years. So, I’m wondering if I should recover […]
Lasagna Recipe with Garden Fresh Tomatoes
September 5, 2014
This year my garden included three tomato plants, plus a few plants from last year grew back. (Normally they only produce one year). With an abundance of fresh tomatoes, I decided to make lasagna. My dad and I also made salsa with the Ninja blender – one of our cool wedding presents. Here’s the recipe […]
Wedding Day Schedule
September 1, 2014
It has been a few weeks since our wedding and honeymoon (which were both amazing)! I’m excited to start blogging about it all, but I will spread it out over the next few months. My goal is not to show off how cool I thought my wedding was (although it was exactly what I wanted). […]
Functioning Kitchen and a Demolished Dining Room
July 18, 2014
We are SOOOO excited to have a functioning kitchen again! And a beautiful one at that! I have waited to post photos because there were little things, like the crown moulding, that were just installed this week. It is not completely finished. The short white cabinet on the right side will have something under it. […]
