If you grew up in the 90s, then most likely wallpaper resided on at least one wall in your home. However, if you lived in MY house in the 90s, then wallpaper was EVERYWHERE! I'm not kidding. I don't think my mom had more than one or two walls left untouched. She swears it was trendy, but I think she may have been known as the crazy wallpaper lady -- a name I am starting to take on myself! When we moved into our new home I knew I wanted wallpaper in at least one room. One room quickly turned into 3 and is about to be in a 4th! Andrew says we have to be done after this, but I say ...

Home Tour: The Bedroom with Brewster Wallpaper & Eclipse Curtains
Did you ever watch the TLC show "Trading Spaces"? I LOVED it! Vern and Genevieve were of course my favorites, and while I applauded Frank's personality I could never get behind his designs. And don't even get me started on Hildi. We all remember the infamous silk flowers as a wall treatment. Didn't she do something with straw, too? I digress. Last Fall I found myself desperately wanting to trade spaces with anyone who had a better bedroom than what we had. And really, it wouldn't have been hard to find some qualifiers, because this was a low point for this bedroom. I didn't even ... Read More
Sweet Potato, Sausage, & Kale Winter Soup
Recipe post banter is the blog equivalent to small talk. It's like I'm standing in front of someone I haven't seen in years, trying to come up with something interesting to say when I know deep down all they want are the juicy details! And today's details are indeed juicy...and delicious. Besides, I know the truth -- most of you will skip all of this just to scroll to the recipe anyway! I used to do that too, and then I became a blogger and suddenly everyone's well thought out words started mattering to me. I have no real inspiration of this soup other than, it's freezing cold here in ... Read More
Let’s Get Making this Christmas!
Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year! It is for me, anyway. When the first breath of cold air comes sweeping down the Oklahoma plains, it's like an old friend come to welcome me home! Christmas was always really special for me as a kid, too. As a kid, I remember spending a lot of time outside, but when it turned cold my mom rallied me around the kitchen table and we would spend those cold evenings making wonderfully whimsical things. We poured ourselves over Martha Stewart Magazine, and if Martha made so did we! We made wreaths, ornaments, sock dogs, cookies, you ... Read More
Friendsgiving & Lemon Butter Roast Chicken
Happy week before Thanksgiving everyone! I trust that you are readying your homes. sorting through recipes, and making arrangements to spend time with family & friends. I really love Thanksgiving, and not just for the food! It's one of the few times a year when my whole family is able to gather round a dinner table and share time together. When I was a kid, we spent a few Thanksgivings at my Granny and Papa's house in the Texas panhandle. Their one bedroom, one bathroom home housed over 30 of us for our Thanksgiving lunch and as a kid it was magical. Aunts, uncles, and ... Read More
