Okay… so really this is the easiest way to make hard boiled eggs for me. I feel like I’ve read a lot of different ways to make them- some of which sound more complicated than they do easy. It really isn’t that hard, and I don’t have to do anything special like baking them in the… [Read More]

Happy Valentine’s Day, all! My hubby and I don’t really buy into the whole, “let’s buy each other gifts because it’s Valentine’s Day, and that’s what you’re supposed to do” thing, but we still manage to celebrate.

“Life’s what you make it.” I love this phrase. It’s totally true. Even the smallest moments can be made special if we have the right attitude. When taking pictures in one of the many orchards of my hometown, we found an apple bin that was upright. The kid in me immediately thought, “I need to… [Read More]
