All Things Pinterest

I have been completely consumed with Pinterest lately.  I go through phases where I surf the interwebz obsessively looking for artsy fartsy things, activites, cool whatchamacallits, and do hoppers.  StumbleUpon was a pretty great source of all things amazing but then the online cork board showed up and won my heart.

Prior to October 2011, cooking was exhausting because it was only for myself.  I lived alone in a one bedroom apartment with my cat and fish.  Yes, I'd have company sometimes but not often enough to really try a lot of new recipes.  Enter my boyfriend and his 2 kids.  It seems over the last few months I practically live at his house (and will be officially moving in end of April) which has allowed me to flex my love for cooking and baking.  Not only that, but my itch for organization and forms has been happily scratched with meal planning, schedules for when the boys are with us and when they are with their mother, etc.  My arts and craft addiction has been on overdrive as I visit Hobby Lobby or Michael's close to once a week making things that will look great in 'our house' once his roomie is out and I'm in.

I've been blog surfing like a madwoman on a mission, a mission to print/paint/cook/build as much as I can before the zombie apocalypse. (Ha, I don't believe in it but there are a lot of amusing things they have in preparedness.)  I feel like I just.can't.get.enough.  I fell in love with free printables and made myself a household/family planner.  Unbeknownst to my boyfriend, I am preparing for the merging of our lives.  It's going to be difficult because he was married for 10 years and single for the last 1.5.  He is set in his ways and there is no denying that I, too am stubborn.

I hope you come back for everything that I have to offer from the recipes I try or create, to projects, being a step parent (when I'm not even used to being any kind of parent!), free printables, etc.

Full Page Recipe Templates [Free printables]

I've been on a mission for quite some time to find full binder size recipe card templates. It seems to me that a 3 ring binder recipe book is much more efficient than the old school 3x5's.  Don't get me wrong, I love those little things, but they get lost, dirty, wrinkled and torn and you have to write really small or use several cards for longer recipes. The internet is surprisingly lacking in full page recipe templates. I did find a couple really cute ones but they just didn't fit my vision/my style. And by my vision and style, I mean something with hot pink and very upbeat. So I took the task on my own, after several frustrating attempts at not having it print correctly, I changed the design a little and now lovers, I decided to share them with you. For FREE! Because everyone loves printables, especially the free ones. Here are a couple different variations. I figured each person might have a slightly different vision of what they want, or depending on the reci...

Itching For Fall

The last week my extreme desire for autumn to arrive has really been kicked into overdrive.  I'm itching to pull out my decorations and deliciously perfect fall candles.  I long for mildly warm days and cool evenings.  For that crisp smell that wafts in with the breeze which unmistakenly announces the season.  For the pumpkin and apple cider flavored everything! There is no doubt the fall is by far my favorite and I love everything about those couple months. Every year around this time I start to nest.  Not like I'm knocked up nest, but settle in for the 'colder months'.  I start to get my home in order and create a happy and comfortable environment since more time is spent inside during the later seasons.  And I must admit, it is the final 4 months of the year that my home really does feel the most cozy. I try to start in September, even though there are usually several, if not most, days that are summer-like.  But fall and spring seem to ...
