Easy Homemade Pickles

October 27, 2022 By Tanya 4 Comments

I did not grow any cucumbers this year but I love pickles, especially when I can make them very low in sodium. Low sodium pickles are pretty hard to find so I was super excited when I realized I can have as many of these as I want! I have been reading up on preserving…

Big changes in the dining room

April 18, 2022 By Tanya 2 Comments

This refresh in our dining room has been a long time coming, I am SO excited! It seems like a living room or kitchen gets more attention (is it just me?) and the dining room just does not seem to be something we think about updating very often. As our style and ideas for our…

Setting a casual + elegant thanksgiving table

November 3, 2021 By Tanya 2 Comments
