Good question, Monica. I use the large can (12 oz?) but you can use a small one..or two small cans if you prefer. Make it as hearty or soup-y as you like!

Taco Tuesday, the soup edition.
We don't necessarily do Taco Tuesdays every week, but I am thinking it just might turn into a thing at our house, for two reasons. First off, they are relatively healthy, as long as you are mindful of what toppings you get carried away with. Second...I am a Pinterest girl when I need a recipe,...
Kathryn and Marta, thanks for joining in! That was one chore I personally had NEVER done before, and while I can't see any difference in my machine tub, I am guessing it's gotten rid of all kinds of filmy stuff....I also tackled reorganizing my laundry room cabinets. It only took me about fifteen minutes, but I feel like it is all in order and clean now.....

The post where I decided to try my hand at actual "spring cleaning".
I have a memory from back when I was a school-age kid growing up in the bay area of California, of my Mom taking a week's vacation off from her secretarial job at Lockheed to do spring cleaning at our home. It was quite the undertaking, at least from my child's-eye-memory bank. I recall her sp...

Thanks for the comments!
Linda, I got all of my wax melters at Walmart, and I edited my post to share the link, but here it is:https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=wax+burners&&adid=22222222220446882651&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=e&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=479747762559&wl4=aud-1028050746418:kwd-412150954727&wl5=9033604&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&veh=sem
That being said, they sell them everywhere; Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, even our Fred Meyer has them!
Dinahsoar- thanks for following along on Instagram!

The unseen decor must-have item I cannot live without.
Regardless of the time of year, there is one constant that adds to the comfy, cozy, welcome feel in my home, and if you've been here, you know what it is. It's home fragrance. Mmmm, mmm, mmm, mmm. I want everyone who enters my home (including myself) to immediately feel welcome, and furthermor...
Thanks girls! Mary, I got the basket at a friend's booth space at Camas Antiques when she was having a sale, and I love the color and style of it! Not to bulky, and just the right amount of weathering!

There are still a few remnants of snow on the ground here, but spring has most definitely sprung inside my home.
I know I eluded to it just a few posts ago, but I am ready for some springtime. This week I decided I could wait no longer. I put away all of the red and black decor touches all around my home over the past week. I then pulled out my most favorite Robins egg blue and light corals, and I've got...

Thank you Kathryn, for continuing to read my blog! As the saying goes, no matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow… Hope you are having a lovely day and not having to do any shoveling!

Who else is ready for spring?
I know we are not supposed to wish our lives away, to live in the present, but...dang, between the Covid virus and the record setting cold and storms (and tornados...) I am over winter already. Talk about your cabin fever. I've got a crazy busy day planned here, with a quick trip down to Camas...

I love it when an impulsive idea morphs into something fabulous, don't you? Like, it was meant to be. If you don't know what I mean, let me explain: Sometimes, an idea will quite literally pop into my head, and before I have actually fully processed that idea, I will act upon it. (Note: I do n...
Thank you, Kathryn! I actually have St Paddy's Day paper goods in there now! Stay safe in Michigan, it looks like more storms on on the way!
