We went camping over the Memorial Day weekend and we took our wash tub fire pit with us. I really love this thing. Â It throws more heat and it channels the smoke up, out and away from you. Â With a normal campfire, there is usually an entire area that is getting smoked out, but with […]
A rat by any other name…
It’s been a while since I had a Grant story for you. Â Lots of little things happen daily, and I usually just end up Instagramming them (#grantism) but I had to share his latest obsession with you: Rodents. I was going through Grant’s school papers in his backpack and found one of his math tests […]
Going camping and choosing recipes from Rook No 17.
I’m super excited to be going camping for Memorial Weekend.  It is not our big annual camping trip (that’s in a few weeks) but this one is up to our local mountains.  Two hours from our door-step, it’s going to be  a great little getaway. We’ll be bringing our washing-machine-turned-fire-pit… …and will probably be making […]
An easy recipe for cream based pasta sauce (using store-bought cheese spread.)
Pasta: It’s easy, filling and great comfort food. Â It can get pretty boring though, if the only time you are eating it is with some type of red sauce. Â Particularly if it’s just jarred sauce…. not that there’s anything wrong with that. Yes, I am Italian, and yes, I take short-cuts in the kitchen all […]
An easy ombre globe.
I love this little globe I picked up at a yard sale a few years ago. Â I have transformed it a couple of times over. Â It’s had two Halloween make-overs and been repainted for Valentine’s Day. Â I have another project coming up, but in the meantime, I got a wild hair and decided to do […]

Mother’s Day Brunch Wrap Up 2013
We had our annual Mother’s Day Brunch on Sunday.  I did not get too wild and crazy with the decor… nothing hanging from the ceiling… just a simple, coastal theme and color palette.   It all started out with these paper napkins that I turned into invitations. That was the jumping off point for […]

Easy antique wash for distressed artwork.
I make “subway” or typographic artwork on a fairly regular basis. Â I am not too precise about the process, which is why I love the, um, distressed look. Â Distressing artwork that is less than perfect covers a multitude of sins and makes it a “I meant to do that” finished product. Here are a few […]

This appetizer is so yummy and easy! Â Creamy goat cheese and savory marina make a wonderful spread on fresh bread. Â It literally takes but a minute to put together. In fact, this is so yummy and easy that I there is no real “process” to photograph for you. Pop a cup or so of […]
