Summer Recap
Holy smokes! Hello! I still exist, and I’m happy that you do too. We had an action-packed, relaxing, invigorating, magical summer. Hence the silence on my part. Umm, apparently June 4th was the last time I visited here, but I swear it was only two weeks ago. For real, June 4th? Don’t worry, I’m not…

How I Survived the Blizzard
You all know that I hate the cold. I would take 97F over -25F EVERY. TIME. And spending two hours shoveling my driveway, while a great workout, is not my idea of time well-spent. But I have to say, getting a four-day weekend is pretty spectacular. Guys. We got snow days!! Not one, but two!!…

Well, if this isn't inspiration
Then I don’t know what is. I know I haven’t posted anything in awhile. And while I’m kind of sorry about that, I also really enjoyed the downtime. I took some time to take photos just for fun. And because I wasn’t trying to get any kind of photo in particular, it helped me improve…

This thing that happens
There’s this thing that happens to me when the sun shines. Suddenly, things that were so stressful and worrisome become not such a big deal. Where I would have found myself saying no before, I now find myself enthusiastically saying yes. I find that making dinner can wait, because there’s something amazing happening in the…

Winter Brew Fest
Missoula loves to celebrate. Especially when it comes to beer. So twice a year we have a Brew Fest to celebrate all the local and regional brews we have access to. Unfortunately, I don’t like beer. At all. This wouldn’t be so bad if my husband weren’t a home brewer. I like sangria. And wine…

Ramblings
I have a recipe to share with you, I promise!! But it needs just a little more tweaking. Which involves re-making it and taking new photos. Trust me, this is a good thing. For me. Because I’ll get to eat it. Eventually it will be a good thing for you, because you’ll get to eat it.…

Craft Project
I’m not a crafty person. I could reiterate, but it’s ok, you can take my word for it. Lately I’ve had the urge to make stuff. Not food stuff, though I’ve been doing plenty of that, too. It started with some alterations to a dress. Yeah, it’s still sitting next to my bed waiting to…

Summa
I can’t admit how much it saddens me that summer is almost over. Hold on, yes I can. And I’ve been telling everyone for the last week. So rather than focusing on how dark it’s getting in the mornings/evenings, and how much I hate being cold, I’m trying to squeeze every last drop of summer…

Skillsets
Yep. Yep. Mmmhmm. Yeah. I’ve made cakes before. Delicious, moist, fluffy cakes. Sometimes with frosting, sometimes glaze, sometimes with just a dusting of powdered sugar. But I’ve never made a layer cake. And we all know that presentation isn’t my strong suit. I’ve always wanted to do it–try my hand at making things look as…
