something I cook every week | recipe for chicken patties
While I do enjoy cooking, I also enjoy a lot of other things and I get weary of planning dinner every night. Over the years, we’ve simplified things by having a couple of standing meals we order out and I’ll prepare a few things at the beginning of the week that can make quick lunches […]
regorganizing the linen closet
This weekend, I decided to start working on some organizing projects. So many closets, drawers, cabinets, and other storage areas haven’t been properly sorted and organized.

a simple home upgrade
In the middle of larger projects that have to be spaced out over a few days, weeks, or months, I like to sprinkle in ones that take a few minutes. It helps me make progress and check something off the to-do list when I’m creaking from bigger projects or I’m working on other things. And, […]

Last week, I showed our front door makeover HERE and in this post, I wanted to share the hardware details as well as how the door looks from the inside of the house now. It is a small change, but it really makes such a difference with the curb appeal of the house. The porch […]
