This weekend Steve and I drove 4.5 hours to Atlanta, GA for the Pioneer Woman book signing! She was there promoting her book Black Heels to Tractor Wheels, which is the story of how she met, married, and started a life with her husband “Marlboro Man.” It was a long drive, and I wanted toContinue reading “The Pioneer Woman Book Signing”

I Turned 25 Today
Today was my birthday! I’m now a quarter of a century old. Isn’t it amazing how fast the time goes by? Sometimes I feel like I’m still in high school, although, there seems to be a lot less drama now. Also, I have a lot more responsibilities now than I did then. I’ve got aContinue reading “I Turned 25 Today”
Gardening Haiku
Weeds are in the ground. My arms hurt with every pull. Oh look, an earthworm! ~Joanna Elaine
Tumbleweeds
This is what happens if I don’t sweep my floors two days in a row. These “tumbleweeds” gather around by the baseboards if I don’t sweep for 2 days. And these are not the result of me sweeping a bunch of hair into a pile….oh no! This grotesque mass formed all on it’s own fromContinue reading “Tumbleweeds”

I mean honestly! NoContinue reading “Sowing My Seeds”

This is a blanket I recently made for one of my best friends since childhood and I cannot wait to meet her baby girl! Has anyone else noticed how many women are pregnant right now, orContinue reading “White Baby Blanket”
From Nursery to Sewing Room (Part 1)
When we bought our house in June 2010, we had so many ideas of what we wanted to do with it. But time went on, and we went to work, hung out with friends, and watched movies, but somehow we never really changed anything in the house. Granted, there was the painting failure in theContinue reading “From Nursery to Sewing Room (Part 1)”
Lazarus
I have never met a kitty like Lazarus. For those of you who don’t know the story of how we adopted him, here it is. We were looking to add a new kitty to the family. Since we already had 2 female cats (litter mates) we knew we wanted to get a male. We alsoContinue reading “Lazarus”
Broccoli Cheddar Mac & Cheese
What kid doesn’t like some Mac & Cheese? I probably only had it a handful of times growing up, and never at my house (my mom liked to make sure I ate healthy and I thank her for it), but that doesn’t mean that the few times I had it I didn’t thoroughly enjoy myself…..cuzContinue reading “Broccoli Cheddar Mac & Cheese”
