life's simplest pleasures and life's greatest joys : all hung from a clothesline.
Well I used the last of the eggs from my cousin! You can read more about that adventure we have been on, in my post about eggs and Easter. Not sure when the chicken coop will happen… We have quite a few other projects that we are weighing and trying to finish (oh adulting) but […]
So I’ve been on the hunt for a delicious Pad Thai recipe and found one in new favorite cookbook Happily Homemade (you can read my full review here – I really can’t say enough good things and that’s why I just keep telling you about it, one of these days you’ll snag yourself a copy!) […]
So Easter around our house is a really big deal. But so is spring! That is… when we get one… Here in the Pacific Northwest we haven’t seen much of it yet, but the last couple days with a few bursts of sunshine have given us hope. Last week my cousin Kylie gave us […]

So as I shared yesterday St. Patrick’s Day is a super fun holiday for our family. I love finding all kinds of big and small ways to celebrate. This was the snack we put together for Cashel to share with his preschool friends yesterday. Easy to locate foods, I even found some on sale that […]
