Gingerbread cookies ready to be iced. 😋 These cookies are gluten, dairy, egg, nut, and soy free. I used Bob's Red Mill 1-1 flour in the blue bag. Recipe here: https://www.vegannie.com/cookies/vegan-gingerbread-cookies/ Notes: I doubled recipe and used 1 part cane sugar, 1 part coconut sugar. Also added extra water until dough was smooth.

Bathroom Remodel
This is what it looked like on move-in day. Now, I'm not against red bathrooms... but I am against small, windowless, red bathrooms. I went in, closed the door, and felt like I was in a heart chamber. Bleh. Step 1: remove the mirror and patch up the wall as needed (free- $5) Step 2:… Continue reading Bathroom Remodel

Making Cozy: Twinkle Lights
Twinkle lights add a certain charm and warmth to a room, especially during cold winter months when the sun sets early in the evening. When I was in high school, I had the multicolored lights (80s child) outlining the walls in my room. I loved the soft glow it gave. Since then, I've come to… Continue reading Making Cozy: Twinkle Lights

I like just about everything about this… Continue reading Decorating for Christmas
Bringing Fall Inside
With 4 school days left until Christmas vacation, a post on Fall decorations may not be timed well... but since it's been cooking in the back of my mind for about a month, I figured it was better to post it now than never. (we actually put up Christmas decorations the weekend before Thanksgiving) :)… Continue reading Bringing Fall Inside
Friday Scheming
Confession: I like to get on Craigslist and look at the furniture and think about how I could put together a kitchen, dining room, or living room for under $900. I haven't been on in a while, but tonight I got on (looking for a small recliner/chair) when I saw a small oak desk and… Continue reading Friday Scheming
Bathroom: Take #2
Friday, since I was able to enjoy another snow day, I decided to see if I could do something different with my bathroom. The limits I had were 1.) it shouldn't take longer than a day, and 2.) it shouldn't cost very much (I am in the process of getting curtains for the living room...). … Continue reading Bathroom: Take #2
