Now that the holidays have passed and most people are no longer buying ornaments, I’ve decided to try my hand at a new form of stress relief. Bookmarks! I have an obscene amount of felt in my crafting stash and it’s a fun material to work with. Between that and my love for my magnetic…

Spice Challenge – Results!
Much like the rest of 2020, my Spice Challenge didn’t go quite as planned. Rather than creating culinary masterpieces (or at least something resembling food) using the 6 designated spices by the end of fall, I managed to use 3: cardamom, licorice salt, and galangal. A score of 50%. Not my best goal achievement but…

DIY Halloween Decorations
With good ol’ quarantine still going strong, my cabin fever has been battling with the desperate need for all things Halloween. My compromise? One trip to the Dollar Store, Target, a local winery, and a thrift store to buy all sorts of goodies to make my own decorations (all while masked of course). Bank account…
Spice Challenge: Cardamom
As some of you know, I’m challenging myself to use an assortment of spices this season and decided to start things off with cardamom. Full disclosure, I made this about 1.5 weeks ago and the slacker that I am haven’t gotten around to a blog post about it until now. Better late than never, right?…
Spice Challenge!

Just a girl and her furbabies
Hello again! This post isn’t quite as timely as I was originally aiming for but it beats the 6+ months of the last one, so I’m considering it a win. Gotta cut yourself some slack right now with the global pandemic and all. At least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Speaking of…
Mindless Meandering
My goal of writing more this year has failed miserably. I’d like to blame it on the chaos that is the world right now but honestly, I was slacking way before COVID-19 reared its ugly head. Is it just me or has the pandemic done weird things to your motivation and productivity? It’s been a…
Concoctions in the Kitchen
Anyone else love experimenting in the kitchen? I personally love it! Weird spices and odd ingredients? Bring it on! I’m also one to get sucked down the pinterest rabbit hole with browsing recipes and admiring all the pictures of the tasty food. It was on one of these little adventures that I stumbled upon a…
