I’ve waited quite a while to write this post because I didn’t want to ruin any surprises for my sister-in-law! She and my brother are expecting their first baby in the fall, and we had a baby shower for her last weekend. They are expecting a little baby boy, and I’ve been searching Pinterest for goodies to sew. I found…

How To Brew Fruit Infused Sun Tea
One of my favorite summer drinks is sun tea! We don’t have it every day, but once in a while, I’ll brew some in a mason jar on the sidewalk. The weather has been warming up, so I’ve been getting the itch to do summer things. I recently thought of this self-proclaimed genius idea: fruit infused sun tea! A while…
DIY Facial Cleansing Gel
**This post contains affiliate links. Please refer to our Disclosure Policy for details.** A little over a year ago, I began using essential oil face cleanser and I haven’t looked back since! I began by using a face wash I purchased from a company, and I really liked it. I then decided to attempt to mix up my own. I used…
Blue Ribbon Canned French Onion Soup
Whenever my husband and I go out to a restaurant to eat and he spots French onion soup on the menu, he orders it. Some is good, some is mediocre, and some is a flop. The best he ever ate comes from a small diner in his hometown. And I must say…this recipe is fairly close! This recipe won first…
2017, Where Have You Gone??
I am not a big New Year’s resolution person. It’s totally fine if you are, it just doesn’t ever workout for me. Except twice. In 2015, a friend and I made a goal to run 15 races that year. We finished on December 31, 2015…in the dark…but we did it! The following year, she and I ran a half marathon…
Homemade Hot Sauce
When a good friend and I decided to take a trip to Root’s Market, I was looking forward to seeing the variety of produce. Our pepper plants did not produce this year, so I wanted to get some hot peppers to experiment with. I was looking through my pins on Pinterest from last year, and I found some hot sauce…
Watermelon Berry Limeade – Fresh and Homemade
A few weeks ago, I was at my parents house, and there was a magazine sitting on the table. I am almost positive it was a Better Homes & Gardens magazine, but I cannot say that with absolute certainty. For whatever reason, I began paging through this magazine. One recipe in particular stuck out to me: Watermelon Berry Limeade. I…
Homemade Whipped Cream
Yesterday, I made a strawberry pie to take to a family picnic. What is strawberry pie without whipped cream?! Last weekend, for the first time, I made my own whipped cream. I was so excited! (My husband was pretty impressed, too!) It has always been something I found slightly intimidating. The idea of having to whip something for an exact…
Homemade Hand Soap
Rather recently, I began trying to make all kinds of household things using essential oils. There are some things that I will venture into experimenting with, and there are other things that I am not ready to take on yet! One household item I found rather simple to duplicate is hand soap. I did some research for recipes and ratios.…
Cold Brew Coffee
I have been noticing a cold brewed coffee trend at various coffee places, such as Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, and even Sheetz. As I watch the commercials and read the signs, I question what this craze is all about. So, in order to find out, I did a little research on Pinterest. I love Pinterest; everything you could ever want to…
