Can you go wrong with Banana Bread? Not in our house. I try and keep some on hand for a quick breakfast on the go or for a after school snack. We also love to add chicken salad on top of a piece for an open faced sandwich. Its sounds weird but trust me - it's good. My Nana passed down this recipe to me many years ago and I have cherished it since and I hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we do.

Letting Go
Fall is in full swing here and I am starting to see the leaves change. The trees are displaying Gods handy work with the most beautiful burnt orange, deep red and bright yellow leaves rolling down the hillsides. Fall in Michigan truly is beautiful. I remember as a child my Nana would rake up leaves in their yard and I would play there for HOURS. The smell of fall always brings me back there to that place. To that house. A place of stability, peace and wonder. Fall tends to stir up a lot of ...

Old Fashioned Blueberry Muffins

Every time it would rain I knew we would be baking something, usually chocolate chip cookies and I looked forward to spending that special time with her in kitchen. Looking back now as an adult she was probably just trying to find something to occupy me for a few hours but it left a lasting impression on me and is now something that I do with my own kids. I still remember when Baylen was just under two and it ...
DIY Stenciled Porch
I've been wanting to do a porch refresh for quite sometime and I FINALLY did it - yay! I feel like life gets so busy with three kids, two businesses and my husbands growing career its easy to brush things to the side or hide them at the end of a to do list that will probably take years to accomplish.

How to Deconstruct a chair
Finally! A post to help walk you through deconstructing. To be quiet honest, this chair was an easy one which is why I choose it for this post. The fabric was practically falling off when I found it, yay! I would say my MOST asked question is "How do you know if a chair or couch is a good candidate for deconstruction?" There is no real direct answer to that question but I can give you some things that I look for when searching for a new piece to deconstruct. Is it old? Its no secret that I ...
