It's been a family tradition for many years now that on St. Patrick's Day I make corned beef, potatoes, and traditional Irish soda bread. Yum! I thought I'd share one of the Irish soda bread recipes that I use. This bread is really moist, unlike some of the other recipes I've tried where the bread is really dry. I switched up the original recipe I found a bit, added some rosemary, and it was delicious!! Rosemary Irish Soda Bread 4 cups ... [ Read More ]

Lucky Charms Treat Pops + Free Printable
Last weekend I made the most fabulous treat- Lucky Charms treat pops! Basically, they are Rice Krispie treats, except made with Lucky Charms cereal... and boy, were they good!

My Favorite Bean Salad Recipe
I have one of my favorite recipes to share with you today. This amazing bean salad is one of my favorite things to make because it is so easy and tasty, and only takes a few ingredients!

Planter from a Dollar Galvanized Pail
With the weather so nice and warm the last few days here in California, I have really been wanting to bring the outdoors inside my home! So far my husband and I have made a cool planter and candle holder out of baby food jars and a piece of wood, a two-foot long planter box full of daffodils, and I planted a bunch of wheat grass today (more on that next week!). I usually let my husband do the gardening because he has a major green thumb, but this warm sunny weather has gotten me in the ... [ Read More ]
DIY Rustic Wood Planter Box
I am so excited to share this easy and beautiful project! It is probably one of my very favorite projects I've shared with you. My husband and I both came up with the idea, and he helped me build it. It is a lovely distressed planter box that is made out of some old wood that we had that was just waiting to be used! We used some of this wood on our Baby Food Jar Wood Vase & Candleholder, and we had just enough left to make this planter box. The wood was already old and distressed, so ... [ Read More ]
