Around this time twelve years ago, I realized I had a crush on the guy who would become my husband. We had already tried to have a relationship the year before and it didn’t quite work out. So when I felt that I possibly could have regained my feelings for him, I wanted to tell […]
Saturday, while spending time with family, we took a three hour hike in the mountains. David and I are not usually hikers, but it was pretty fun getting out of our usual routine and hiking up the mountains with family. {All bundled up and ready to go!} The hike definitely showed me exactly how in […]
Here we are with January hanging on by a thread, and I’m still thinking of all the pictures and posts I didn’t get to write here on the blog before 2014 ended. I feel a smidge bad about it. So I figured I would take the opportunity to of course…catch up and post some pictures […]
A few years ago, I got clued in to the immune support that Elderberries can give. In fact, I even wrote a bit about the Elderberry Syrup I love to get at my local vitamin shop in my Go-To Natural Sick Day Remedies post. Around the same time another friend shared a recipe for making […]

It’s been ages since I’ve been to an actual craft fair, so I was pretty excited to go to two last weekend! So excited, even a little rain on Saturday couldn’t keep me away from the first one I attended. Ever since starting my own candle company where I hand make my candles, I have […]
I remember getting this recipe from my mom sitting in a booth at a pizza shop, jotting down the ingredients on some scrap paper. It was my favorite soup she made and had the best comforting effects on a cold night. She did it mostly by feel (and I do a little of the same) […]
