Colorfully, organically and all the ways I've experimented with!
Holiday Cookie Box
I decided to spread some holiday cheer this year in the form of cookies! 🍪 So naturally, I went straight to level ten baking nine different cookie types (ten if you count the one I threw out...). I thought it would be fun to have a cookie box that is more like a box of…
Avocado Edamame Salad
This salad needs a better name but I don’t think I’m the one to come up with it. This is a salad I discovered many years ago and just love it. There are a hundred variations out there so I wanted to document my personal twist.

The North Star
I participated in an hour long meditation journey this morning. It was a great chance to relax and reflect. Something that came to me was this poem that I've loved for years. I'm surprised I haven't written about it before because it's always in the back of my mind. Let me not to the marriage…
Mom’s Birthday French 75 Cake

But other details can be left out entirely without issue. I’ve decided to design my own miniature kit of a New Orleans style shotgun house. Specifically one…
Be True to … Who?
It’s just like Hamlet said: To thine own self be true. Uhh, Hamlet didn’t say that. I think I remember Hamlet accurately. Ha, well I remember Mel Gibson accurately, and he didn’t say that. That Polonius guy did.– Clueless We talk a lot about being our true selves but what is your true self? For…
Garden Stakes / Plant Labels
Since I’ve been gardening this spring, I wanted to make some kind of plant labels to identify what I’ve planted so far. I usually use the plastic ones that come with plants but they tend to get lost in the dirt or blow away over time. Plus custom ones would be fun! 😇 After a…
Time to Create
I haven't been able to blog much this year. With everything going on around us over the past year, I just couldn't do it. I'd think about it. I'd even plan on doing it but I just felt frozen. I needed to hide away, keep to myself and process the realities of a global pandemic.…
