I joined Pinterest last week. It’s even more addicting than Facebook and much more inspiring. Just what I needed—another internet vice! I found this Lemon Crinkle Cookie recipe there and gave it a try over the weekend. The cookies were light, lemony, and perfect for spring! I followed the recipe exactly as written, but next time I’m [...]
Daniel and I spent Easter Sunday at my parents’ house (where we hunt Easter eggs each year even though we’re technically grown ups). I brought my camera along and wandered around my dad’s gorgeous gardens for a little while. If I take a shine to a particular plant he always tries to split it and [...]
I’m not a minimalist (nor do I intend to become a minimalist), but I really enjoyed Francine Jay’s The Joy of Less. This is the perfect book if you need motivation for spring cleaning and de-cluttering, or if you’re just looking to curb your shopping habit. The pages are filled with useful advice about everything from [...]
My Mom gave me this granola recipe, and it is so good! She recommends eating it with almond milk poured over the top instead of regular old cow’s milk. You could even throw in some dried cranberries or raisins after you bake it. Yum. 4 cups rolled oats 1/4 cup wheat germ 1 cup sliced [...]
This year I’m planting my herbs in the sunniest corner of our yard, so hopefully they won’t turn yellow and die again. Third time’s the charm, right? I don’t really need herb markers (I mean, it’s pretty easily to tell the difference between basil and rosemary), but they are so darn cute that I decided [...]
Doesn’t this look like the perfect outfit to wear on a sailboat? I bet this chick knows the difference between port and starboard, but does she know that with a bit of shopping around she could have found an outfit similar to her $383.50 J.Crew ensemble for $117.23? $383.50 (not including the scarf) $117.23 (including the [...]
I hope we get another nest of baby birds this year. I’ve seen the wrens scouting around, but no nest building is going on yet. There’s a vast array of good looking bird houses and feeders out there. I wonder if my backyard birds would like these as much as I do? My personal favorite [...]
I just realized I never showed you the sweet bath mat I got for my birthday. If you are as obsessed with zigzags and stripes as I am you’re sure to love it! When we moved in to our house Daniel wanted to hang a chalkboard behind the toilet for people to write on. I told [...]
For the past month I’ve had fuzzy recollections of a beautifully illustrated turtle with a flower-painted shell. It was such a vague memory that I thought I might have dreamt it, but I couldn’t get this mysterious turtle out of my head. After many fruitless Google searches I finally mentioned it to my parents, and it [...]
