The best cranberry sauce recipe is made by simmering cranberries with the juice and zest of an orange and then sweetened with honey. It is the perfect side dish for your holiday meal and will become a tradition you will want to make every single year. This simple recipe is so good, and so easy. It's perfect for family gatherings, or just to enjoy while this delicious, under-utilized berry is in season.

minimalist Christmas tree with big bows

A few weeks ago I went with my sister and a friend to knock out all my Christmas shopping in one day. Last year I only bought a few nice things, but let me tell you why we aren't doing a minimalist Christmas this year. I have had a lot of requests this year for minimalist, simple living friendly, gifts for kids. I hate to disappoint but you all, but I actually did things quite a bit differently this year. Normally, I would be your go-to gal for how to get as few toys as possible for your kids, … [Read more...]

December 27, 2017 by Lisa 6 Comments

For the first time in years, we had a white Christmas. Of course I went out the capture the rare moment with my camera. Come take a peek at our farmhouse in the snow. I remember last winter I was so excited to get a picture of our farmhouse in the snow. Although cold weather is definitely not my favorite, I like a few good snows every year.

Homemade Christmas Gifts

October 4, 2017 by Lisa 11 Comments

Homemade Christmas gifts are a great way to show your love and creativity to everyone on your list. I have always loved the idea of homemade Christmas gifts. Around the holidays, gift giving turns into more of an obligation than a joy. For the task oriented, it is just another opportunity to check the job of the list. Speaking of myself here. But, to be honest, I want to show up to the family Christmas gathering proud of the gift I am bringing. I want something that has meaning and … [Read more...]

Step into the farmhouse for some Easter table setting ideas.  This year, I am bringing the outside in with potted herbs, neutral colors, a grain sack table runner. I Love Spring You know, I was thinking about just how excited I am that spring is here. When I was a little kid I hardly noticed the changing of the seasons.

February 7, 2017 by Lisa 12 Comments

Valentine's Day is fast approaching. I teamed up with some of my favorite bloggers to bring you some table setting inspiration. I am definitely not the type that goes out to buy all new decor for each holiday. Usually when I am tying to come up with a seasonal table setting or vignette, I look around the house to see what I already have that can work with my design idea, or can be repurposed in some way to make it fit. Valentine's day is no exception. There is nothing I had to buy … [Read more...]
