You're right, we do have a table in the kitchen too. I love your idea and actually have wanted to do that between the kitchen and family room (where we have another banister) so we could have a good place for a buffet...and more kitchen storage.

Sean is afraid I won't like it since we will be stuck with the wood base in between the carpet. I think if we paint it a similar color I'll be fine. So excited to try it!

I think I might have gasped too when I came up with idea. Hope it turns out all well as it looked in my head. :)

Summer vacation is fast approaching...filled with its seemingly endless opportunities for house projects. We have a couple planned already, but yesterday a huge idea started developing. Switch the living room with the dinning room. It's not exactly a new idea,... Continue reading

Even though it's been a couple months, and it's really all I know how to do, I still love just mixing watercolors together. All you do is take a wet brush, dip it onto the dried watercolor to pick up... Continue reading

That makes me so happy to hear! It's kind of scary to share a recipe that I've made adjustments to...just hoping that I've shared measurements (especially since I don't keep exact track as I cook) that work for everyone. So glad to hear you liked it!

I loved Suzy Zoo everything. The former owner of our house does too and will still mail us cards with Suzy Zoo stickers on the envelope...cutest thing ever! :)

We just purchased ours after the class on Sunday so we only have used it once so far. As far as I understand at this point of salt slab ownership, you just heat it up in the oven or on the grill and cook on the surface.

Sent these cards to three friends last week for no reason...which actually seemed like the perfect reason. Stamp from Catslife Press. Continue reading

Sean and I went to a cooking demonstration this weekend and learned about grilling shrimp on a Himalayan salt slab. We immediately bought the slab and went in search of shrimp for tonight's dinner. I just decided I actually like... Continue reading

I decided months ago that I would rather stand when I am crafting things. So at the end of April I replaced the table in the closet of my craft room with a taller one. I bought a file cabinet... Continue reading

The watercolor splatters I shared last week were actually thank you notes for my birthday gifts, but I didn't want to share the whole thing since some of the individuals that received them read this blog thing. Every time I... Continue reading

No, it's actually today the 13th. And she was born on a Friday the 13th which she attributes to her uncannily often bad luck. :) Happy birthday tomorrow!

As I am sure I have told you, this recipe has been made at least a hundred times since I called you in desperation for it all those years ago. It's one of the best recipes we have ever been lucky enough to have. Hope to see you soon...concerts in the park are coming up fast!

I doubled checked with Sean (since I have actually never made them besides helping to unwrap the caramels) and there are no eggs.
