Happy Sunday.

If I owned a cottage or lake house -- it would surely be as bright & colorful as this one.

A witty read outlining last-minute wardrobe fixes to have in your back pocket.

What a nutritionist eats in a day.

A worth-while read about why God makes us wait.

Sean Hayes & husband lip Sync "Trouble" -- this will make you laugh!

Make: Pecan Pie

It wasn't until about a year ago that I tasted my first pecan pie, and then I kicked myself for not trying it sooner.  They are SO good.

I quickly set-out to find a recipe; of course I landed on the Pioneer Woman's website, and I knew it was a safe bet to try one of Ree's creations.

You can find the recipe here.










































































Pssst! I totally cheat & use a store-bought frozen pie crust because really, it tastes just as good.

Pair a slice (or two!) of this pie with coffee and, ohhh -- you'll be in heaven!

Current Happenings.

Idea inspired by Emily's 'Five Things' posts, at Cupcakes & Cashmere.
(a great way to stay active behind the camera, to document the little things)

At home manicure.

Dreaming about these apple glazed muffins & thinking I should make them again soon.

Using my silhouette to make a retirement banner for a gal at work.

Quite possibly the best smelling cleaner of all time.

True Life: My husband & I are both magazine hoarders (though he is clearly worse!)

Happy Sunday.

First & foremost -- Happy Easter, friends!  Hope you're spending the day with the ones that you love!

If you have some down time to surf the web, I think you'll enjoy the following links:

This article has me itching to grow berries in containers this year.

Erin's pot roast looks delish & super easy to make.

Dear Lord, please help me be like this mom someday.  Go with the flow. Full of spontaneity.  Who cares if the van smells like ketchup?  Her top priority -- making memories for her & her kids... and I love it.

Love the idea of this personalized, DIY farmer's market tote.

Thinking about making Sally's two-layer carrot cake or Ree's pecan pie soon.


What's inspiring you this week?

Paying Homage to Winter.

Just a few weeks back, everything in our yard was snow-kissed & so peaceful, it had to be documented.














For the record, I am fully aware that spring officially started March 20th -- but there is something so pretty about freshly fallen snow...

Miss Gracie Lou...

I haven't met a dog who doesn't love snow...

 

There's not much better than waking up to freshly fallen snow... unless of course it's April...
