Christmas Pins to Ungrinch Christmas!

So, what would you imagine could be the worst thing to wake up to right after Thanksgiving, when you're walking out the door to go grocery shopping? Well, my sweet daughter Kayley woke up to a nightmare on Sunday when she headed outside to find that her car had been stolen from right outside her place. Who would ever expect to have their 16-year-old VW Passat Wagon stolen? Here is Kayley with ...

Instant Pot – Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

I've been in such a soup mood lately! Most of my family's soup favorites are super heavy, cream-laden, full of cheese and bacon and other amazing things, which is AWESOME, but sometimes you want something a little lighter. This soup is fantastic because it is super thick and hearty without the added fat and calories of cream. I based it on several recipes I've tried over the years, and after some ...

Instant Pot Boiled Eggs – No Peeling!

You know those things you see kicking around Pinterest but never try? Well I tried this and it worked out so well! I was making my super awesome potato salad today which calls for 8 boiled eggs, peeled and chopped. Did you know you can just crack them in a bowl and put the whole bowl in your Instant Pot? No ice bath or peeling required. The resulting bowl-shaped egg loaf is initially ...

New Pin: Oh NO Baby, What is You Doin??

I can't get enough of these guys DancingDan @danrue and Nick Joseph @nicknpattiwhack and the videos they post on Instagram - they basically film themselves being obnoxious in public places and messing with people. As much as that annoys me when little whiny teenagers do it, these guys crack me UP! Nick has a bunch of little catchphrases, among them, we live, baby! and Oh NO baby, what is you ...

  • I spent this beautiful Friday afternoon with my oldest bestie @oharafish and her sweet boy Nate. There is nothing like a friendship where you can be your authentic self, picking up like no time has passed at all. It's like coming home. ❤️ . . . And she brought me these goodies to brighten up my kitchen! Love!! 😍
  • I was perusing @alwaysfits the other day and stumbled upon this journal - it's called "Let That Sh*t Go - A Journal for Leaving Your Bullsh*t Behind and Creating a Happy Life" - I thought, this is so cute and so fitting for my chaotic brain and maybe yours too. It arrived in my mailbox today and this was the very first page I flipped open to. As soon as I saw "Ca caw, Motherfucker!" I thought, ahhh. Yes. This journal truly speaks to me. . . . . . #letthatshitgo #monicasweeney #writeitdown #selfcaremotherfuckers

  • I don't think I shared that one of our older little rats died a couple of weeks ago. She was either the mama or the baby of the rat we lost on Thanksgiving. And she was the bitchiest, most skittish rat we had, but we loved her a lot and cuddled her as much as she'd let us. She was missing half an ear so I think she had a rough start to life, but her life with us was very happy and full of soft blankies and apple slices. We still have two more furry face ratties to love on, but it's always sad to lose one. Nikki drew this little tribute in #Procreate to the two that we started out with and I just love it. I think I'm going to have it framed! ❤️ 🐁🐀 ❤️ . . . . . #ratcommunity #rat #fancyrat #ratsofinstagram #ratsareawesome #rattiesofig . . .

  • I was always surprised my Biggie candle didn't sell better. Lo and behold, I sold out of them this week! And Post Malone is number two. I've been taking a self-imposed break from making stuff for my shop because things have been kind of bananas at our house for a couple of months. Nothing wrong at all, just the nature of having four busy teenagers. 2020 is going just splendidly over here and I hope it is for you too! (And to the people who keep asking when the Kyle Clark candle will be available again... Stay tuned!) . . . . . #prayercandles #biggie #posty #postmalone #saintposty #saintbiggie
