I feel a little behind with this post, especially since Thursday marks the end of the apple season…. and what a scrawny season at that. If you don’t live in the Midwest you may not be aware that there was a major apple shortage this fall… or maybe you are because the high prices at […]
I was living in the dark ages until this year… I’ve stepped into the light and I am loving it…. the herb light, that is. Over the years, I have had a certain notion that when spring came, it was the proper choice to go to the local greenhouse and pick up some semi-mature herbs […]
Well I’m back from a whirlwind weekend get-away to the thriving metropolis of Tulsa, OK. After driving 13 hours each way, this girl was spent but it was so much fun getting to see some family and watch my dear cousin marry such a great lady… and like any good ‘ole wedding reception… there was […]
This girl does. And her handy-man husband. If you’ve been around here for awhile, you know that I’ve been complaining about my basement and lack of inspiration I’ve had since moving in 18 months ago. Knowing full well that I would have two and a half weeks off before my program starts, I had been […]
It’s my favorite time of the year. I know I’ve mentioned that a time or two. These days life is filled with bike rides to the ice cream shop, early morning baking sessions, coffee on the porch, living life with every window open, bright mornings and late nights, and fresh, crisp salad. I crave salad […]
I’m officially unemployed. That’s right folks, I quit my job Thursday. It was a bittersweet day but so far I am loving my break. You know that list I’ve been talking about?? We’re adding to it and not wasting a minute of precious time. So far we have added prepping and planting the garden, painting […]
I’m off of work this morning and loving life. My morning has been spent sipping tea, writing letters and making lists. Yep, that’s right. Lists. I’m totally a list person. I have so many lists everywhere that I have to make a list just to keep them in order. If I don’t use this organizational […]
I have a crush. A mega crush. On this boy… I mean seriously… who wouldn’t? But I know you don’t come to this blog to hear about my hunky hunk of a husband… that’s just a perk. I have a craft for you today… double perk. You see that guy in the picture above? You […]
If you’re new to the scene here at NN, you may not know that when it comes to my garden, I’m a novice gardener with professional expectations. Last year was my first year to have my (our) own garden. I pretty much grabbed the tools from my in-laws garage and went to work. No planning. […]
Lena’s baby shower was this weekend and I had the privilege of co-hosting it with my lovely friend, Lindsey. This was my first time ever planning/preparing/hosting a baby shower and let me tell you… it was totally fun! I got to craft, cook and create so much more than I do normally. It was definitely a […]
