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…

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.…
