In two days I’ll be 33 weeks pregnant with Baby T. Let’s throw it back to when I was 20 weeks pregnant because that’s when we found out that our baby has a cleft lip (later finding out that it extends to the palate). I want to mention this because, 13 weeks have elapsed since I’ve had the courage to write this story – to put my feelings into words.
I SHOULD PROBABLY PREFACE THIS WITH, COPPER IS NOT CHEAP. THAT’S WHY IDLE, OLD HOMES ARE RAIDED FOR THEIR COPPER. THIS LADDER CAN PROBABLY BE MADE MORE CHEAPLY, AS I DID NOT SHOP AROUND OR LOOK FOR ANY DEALS. I DID NOTICE, THAT 1/2″ COPPER PIPE FITTINGS WERE MORE COSTLY THAN 3/4″ – SO I…
This Instant Pot Applesauce is so easy I may never buy the stuff again! It’s quick too & your house will smell like friggin’ heaven while this is cookin’. Thanks to my step-mom, Missy for introducing me to Instant Pot applesauce – I’d consider this her recipe. The only thing I changed, was I added…

I change up my makeup rather frequently, but recently I’ve been receiving a lot of inquiries on what I’m using. I’m not a makeup artist, lord knows that, but I think I’ve mastered the natural look. The problem is, everyone has a different face. Sorry, ya’ll 😉 Hopefully some of what I use will work…

IF THERE IS ONE THING I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT MY ROAST CHICKEN RECIPES, IT’S THIS: DO NOT BE AFRAID TO INNOVATE. IF YOU DON’T HAVE SOMETHING LEAVE IT OUT…UNLESS IT’S THE CHICKEN. ESPECIALLY IF IT’S FRESH HERBS TO STUFF THE THING – YOU DON’T HAVE TO PUT ANYTHING INSIDE THE CHICKEN. FUN FACT: I’VE…
Dude, my CSA always sends so many greens. I know I’m supposed to eat them & I don’t want to waste them, but juicing is messy & salads get tedious. I sat down one evening staring at this giant bundle of carrot tops and swiss chard considering making a smoothie, but the thought of that…
Have you taken the MBTI? Apparently I’m an ESTJ (click here for my strengths & weaknesses), but I’m not a fan of large group settings unless I’m in the confines of my own home. I guess you can chalk that up to control. If you’re like me, you feel grounded at home – always on…
