I remember talking about our well water in earth science class in 8th grade, and one of my friends told the class she thought that meant we had to go pump our water every day....good times. Anyway, I'd had well water my entire life until I left for college, and now that we've moved into … Continue reading Hard Water Blues
My First Vegan Festival…Bethlehem Vegfest
Last year I was browsing for vegetarian festivals and the day I was searching online was the day of the Bethlehem Vegfest. My lifelong (okay the past two years or so) food truck crush The Cinnamon Snail was going to be there and I was so sad I missed it. As soon as I found … Continue reading My First Vegan Festival…Bethlehem Vegfest
Review: Shutterfly
(This post is not sponsored, nor does Shutterfly even know I'm writing it...I'm just a huge fan.) I first started having photo products made through Walmart.com, mainly because I could run into the store and pick it up, and it was quick and cheap. For the most part, I've been happy with them (except for … Continue reading Review: Shutterfly
Our First Room Makeover — Main Bath
Eventually, we're going to completely remodel this bathroom. We plan on getting rid of the pink tile, the green tub, the blue-ish toilet, the old medicine chest, and put in a new sink/vanity. In the meantime, we wanted to do a few smaller changes to make it feel more like home. We've finished our minor … Continue reading Our First Room Makeover — Main Bath
Flirting With Homeschooling
Now that summer is over (school-wise), I thought I'd finally post about my experimenting with homeschooling. First, I will start off by admitting my huge misconceptions about homeschooling growing up. As a kid, I knew some homeschooled kids and their parents always seemed weird. Plus it didn't seem like they had any friends (looking back, … Continue reading Flirting With Homeschooling
Things We Did Right Before and During Our Move
These past 2 weeks since moving have been so crazy and hectic! I felt like I'd been preparing for our move before we even put an offer down on the house, and we still weren't completely ready when the time actually came. Here are a few things we did right in preparation for our big … Continue reading Things We Did Right Before and During Our Move
Moving Weekend Meal Prep
We did a few things right and a few things wrong with our whole moving process and one thing I'm glad I did was prepping food in advance. On the actual moving day, we bought a few pizzas and subs, but for the rest of the week, and for quick foods, I baked and froze … Continue reading Moving Weekend Meal Prep
Moving Stress
I apologize for my unscheduled 2 week hiatus. I never imagined moving into this house would be so much work. I mean, I guess I knew it would be a lot of work, but I thought I'd be able to handle it better. Ever since I left for college, up until August of 2009, I … Continue reading Moving Stress
Earl Grey Muffins with Citrus Drizzle
I've been baking and freezing as much food as I can for our moving weekend, and I recently stumbled upon this recipe for Earl Grey Muffins over at Just Bento. I followed the recipe, but I found that they weren't really sweet enough for me (and I am not a fan of overly sweet things), so … Continue reading Earl Grey Muffins with Citrus Drizzle
Revamping the Sunroom
So as most of you probably know, we officially made a huge purchase last week. The house is incredibly beautiful and has a ton of extras most of the other houses in our price range didn't have...sun room, swing set, gazebo, security system, two two car garages, super hip intercom system, some land, etc... The … Continue reading Revamping the Sunroom
