my kitchen. what newlywed starts out in such a luxurious space? i’m particularly fond of my baking corner. sprinkles & color. the husband asked if i could make cupcakes for the youth meeting tonight. they’re nothing fancy but they’ll taste good and i had color to put on top! i do love color! old. i’ve… Continue reading friday favorites
the sun is shining, bringing my home’s temperature up from it’s typical 65 to a boiling 70. tonight is a homemade macaroni and cheese sort of night. that was my requested birthday dinner for years. no, it’s not my birthday but i still want it. my hands are dry and cracking in the worst way… Continue reading everything happy
sometimes the husband is late coming home from work. i’m left hanging in the kitchen surrounded by the aromas of an almost-ready meal which makes my mouth salivate and my tummy start to rumble (no, i never read winnie the pooh). all this is everything sad.
with the gift of a new camera for christmas there’s been much fun documenting random bits throughout my days. the husband said, “you are so strange,” when he saw me taking a random photo of our dinner table last night. i already knew this. we’ve been here for 2.5 months and in that short amount… Continue reading a picture sort of update

sometimes i stay in my pajamas until very late in the day. sometimes i make pumpkin bread, do laundry, clean my kitchen, and sit and blog in my pajamas. sometimes i pack the husband lunch and send him off for the day with a kiss in pajamas. sometimes i catch myself whispering, “is this really… Continue reading looking a bit like christmas
