Weekend

by

Our weekend was crazy:We headed up to Waverly for my 10 year class reunion. (i'm still in denial that I'm that old) It was really fun to see my old classmates and show off my smokin' hot husband... but to be honest, no one was there that I REALLY wanted to see. It was still totally worth it though.Nick got himself in over his head thinking he could help my little brother replace his alternator in ... [ Read More ]

If I had to choose

by

If I'm running late and only have a few seconds to upgrade my face to at least look human, you better believe I'm gonna slap on ... [ Read More ]

Change Up

by

For awhile now, I've been regretting the name of my blog "The Life of a Country Girl.' It started out being my journey as a newlywed, a new home owner, a new dog owner, etc... and I felt like I wanted to share all my new experiences. But it's developed into a documentation of our lives, and only a small part of which is actual country living. It's about US, not ME. So I've been thoughtfully ... [ Read More ]

Butterscotch Bars – STAT

by

Because I don't often post recipes, you should really take me seriously when I do. If I'm posting a recipe, consider it a matter of extreme urgency. Now when I was a kid, I loved butterscotch. Everywhere we went it seemed like the 3 common flavors were chocolate, strawberry and butterscotch. But then, mysteriously, butterscotch dropped off the face of the earth, and right out of my life. Dairy ... [ Read More ]

Restoration

Excited to launch a new category to our creative portfolio, Nick has allowed me to scour craigslist for ridiculous cheap finds on old, solid wood pieces with great detail and tons of character. We then take said pieces of furniture and refinish them... to be more awesome than their previous selves.I wanted to share my most recent project. (These are BEFORE pics obviously) We picked up this ... [ Read More ]
