It is no secret that I have become a total plant lady. I would live in a greenhouse if I could. I love how they bring life, texture and an interesting element to our home but most importantly I love what they do for our air quality. Maybe a year or so ago I found out that the air quality in our homes can be compared to a huge traffic jam with the amount of chemicals and bad things floating around in our air. I don't know about you but Im a total homebody. I love to be home so I spend a lot of ...
Finding Peace in Chaos
The hustle and bustle of the Christmas season is upon us and although this is a season of great joy it is also a season of excessive busyness. Anytime I think of busyness I think of chaos. Everything is out of order, the to-do list has grown like 5 miles longer and there seems to be endless activities to attend and not to mention; extra baking, shopping, wrapping, elf on a shelfing, partying, Christmas carding and making sure we do all the traditions we have started so our kids have great ...
As seasons change
I have taken a pretty long social media hiatus. Not my own doing entirely but God knew it was something I needed to do. Its funny how when you are forced to slow down and breath - like REALLY slow down and REALLY breath you start to see things as they are. Can you relate? I remember before I started MSB I felt so bored and trapped at home. I felt like I didn't even know who I was anymore because I was always being something for someone else. I felt like life was mundane. Dishes, laundry, ...
Old Fashioned Apple Cobbler
This Old Fashioned Cobbler recipe is one of my favorite sweet things to make during the cold months here in Michigan. There is something special about the smell of pie coming from the kitchen that is sure to have the kids and the husbands helping get the plates and forks out. I usually will double the recipe and send one along to a neighbor or friend to enjoy. Sometimes it's a simple gesture of a homemade treat that can make someone feel loved and thought of and really isn't much extra effort. ...
DIY Fresh Eucalyptus Wreath
DIY Fresh Eucalyptus Wreath Wreaths are a staple in our home. I always change them out seasonally and they can really add so much to your home with very little investment. Its a quick way to update the exterior of your house or even to add a element of interest indoors. I absolutely love Eucalyptus. It's one of those greens that transitions so well into each season. I add it into all my spring wreaths and in my Christmas wreaths. I love that it dries beautifully and it is hardy and lasts for ...
Old Fashioned Banana Bread
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. Banana Bread Preheat oven to 325 1 3/4 cup All purpose Flour ( we used ...
