December 12, 2022 By Tanya 12 Comments

Spending time with family and friends (and a little snow!) is my favorite part of the Christmas season hands down. Each year there are more memories to look back on, stuggles and blessings of the year that is coming to a close, and hope for the New Year. I am not a make-a-resolution gal but…

How to make a snowy DIY Anthro wreath

November 13, 2022 By Tanya 4 Comments

Hello friends! I thought I could wait until Thanksgiving but I ignored that small voice, instead turning my home into Santa’s Workshop this weekend.

DIY Fresh Rosemary trees

November 7, 2022 By Tanya 8 Comments

Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Bars (dairy free)

October 19, 2022 By Tanya 2 Comments

Almost a year ago I found out that I had become very allergic to dairy. Thinking it was gluten for a while I was thrilled to return to the bakery for big crusty loaves of bread. But that meant cheese and I had to part ways. I was so happy to confirm why I was…

Hello friends! How is your week going? Mine is flying by and I am thrilled to be feeling better! I ended up very anemic this summer and we realized I am no longer absorbing iron via food or supplements. A problem for those of us with anemia. SO, after being treated in the ER we…
