mexican lasagna bake aka burrito cake recipe
I love recipes that are…quick to make, can be made in one pot, are easy to adjust to different food preferences, and are delicious! Such is the case with this Mexican Lasagna Bake. It’s a fusion of layered Italian lasagna with Mexican (well, Americanized Mexican) flavors. And it is so good. When Marshall first saw […]
victorian box easel
As I shared earlier this week, packing up the studio has been the hardest part of the move. (You can read about why we’re moving HERE.) feel like I can cook anywhere. I can do laundry anywhere. We can have family pizza movie night anywhere. I will miss our bed and bedding, but I can […]
the best strawberry rhubarb crisp
We have an absolutely wonderful next-door neighbor. She has blown snow out of our driveway when Jeff was unable to, she has saved Calvin’s bike from sitting out on the sidewalk overnight, and she brings us rhubarb from her garden each summer.

tips on packing for a move
I know people who have moved a lot more than I have, but I have moved quite a bit in my life. Until I was almost 30, I had never lived anywhere longer than 4 years! An 11-year stretch in our PA house is the longest I’ve lived in one place and, even then, we […]
the porcupine by ray french
As I shared in the tour of my great aunt and uncle’s home in South Carolina, they have acquired a lot of interesting art pieces over the years. I wanted to highlight one specifically because it’s a neat piece by a known artist, but also because of a special inscription. The work is the Porcupine, […]
