What’s For Dinner: Taco Stuffed Shells
Love tacos? And pasta? Here’s the best of both worlds. Taco Stuffed Shells from Blog Chef I strayed from the recipe just a bit and used a whole box of Barillla “large” pasta shells (instead of only 12) and a jar of Ortega taco sauce (rather than just a cup). Yum. Jake approves. This one’s [...]
Holiday Spirit: Rosy-Cheeked Santa
Seeing these mugs in the latest Pottery Barn catalog reminded me of how cute I think Santa Claus is with rosy cheeks are.
Websites A-Z
Here’s a fun little game. Type each letter of the alphabet, one at a time, into your web browser and see which site automatically pops up. I tried it.

Living Room Plan, Wall-by-Wall
In Tuesday’s post, I shared the overall floor plan for our living room. Next, I want to share the elevation drawings I completed during the six week interior design class I’m so glad I was able to take. What is an elevation drawing?

Living Room Recap
Yikes…it’ been a long time since I’ve posted any pictures of our living room. A lot has changed since the last time. Before I show you where we are now, let’s recap where we’ve been. The first time I showed you our living room, it looked like this: At this point, we never used this [...]
Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you know I tried a new cookie recipe the other night. I promised to let you know if they were good or not. I have one word for you…YUM. This recipe is for soft/chewy cookie lovers and not those of you who like a crispier cookie. The [...]
Christmas Cards? No, Christmas Books.
Sending yet another Christmas card this year with Moose on the cover seemed a bit silly and self-indulgent. So instead, I took the same amount of money I would normally spend on printing and mailing cards and bought some books. While I’m sure my friends and family find Moose to be adorable, you can’t quite [...]
