My high school friend Nathalie who visited a long while ago inspired me to make these little breakfast jars. She was telling me how she prepares hers with almond milk, chia seeds and fresh fruit, lets them sit in the refrigerator overnight and then enjoys them in the morning. So easy and healthy! Since then, I’ve been making… Continue Reading

There was one last thing left that would complete the new vanity desk in my daughter’s room, and that was adding some wall art. I already had a frame that could work for this space; it’s a rectangular, modern, white frame with a mat for two inserts, that I often use for seasonal decor. I intentionally had placed the new… Continue Reading
It wasn’t in my plans to decorate eggs for this Easter. I made plenty last year and still love them, but my aunt from Greece showed me the other day, via Skype, the ones she was working on, and she got me all inspired!
