☕ Tea Time Talk: Closet Inspirations, Crafty Idea, & Grandma's Salad Recipe


Hello, Reader,

Do you ever have weeks that feel like you're constantly three steps behind, even though you're working your tail off trying to get ahead? That’s been my week. And just a few minutes ago, I decided something radical...

I scratched five big things off my to-do list. GONE. Because sometimes that's just the wisest thing to do...

So if you’ve been needing someone to give you permission to simplify, consider it officially granted. So, take a deep breath, put your feet up, and sip a cozy cup of tea with me...

And while we're resting, let's chat about a few posts from the past that might give you some fresh inspiration for the future:

blackberry jam being poured into a jar

Hello, Reader, Every once in a while, a recipe carries more than just delicious flavor—it carries a memory, a lesson, and a legacy. Today’s feature recipe is one of those. Many years ago, when I was a newlywed, I met a lovely woman named Lynn.

I didn’t even realize at the time just how much she was teaching me. She gently passed on her homemaking wisdom—from...

"How to paint rusty metal" with a metal cart makeover

Hello, Reader, A few days ago, we came home to a note taped to our door: the city would be shutting off our water today from 9 am to 6 pm. (The reason? Still a mystery!) But let me tell you — that unexpected news kicked my housekeeping into high gear. Last night around 8:30, I flew around the house — bathroom scrubbed, laundry done, dishes washed, and coffee pot prepped. And this morning?

Tortillini Sausage Casserole

Hello, Reader, We recently visited our son and daughter-in-law, who recently welcomed their very first baby (we love being grandparents!).

It’s hearty, cheesy, and oh-so-easy to throw in the oven at the end of a long day. I even doubled the batch so we could keep some in our own freezer! And, confession - we've already eaten it and LOVED it!...
