A quick and easy recipe for smokey, sweet, delicious roasted peppers. I used to buy roasted red peppers in a jar all the time. For some reason, I was intimidated by the idea of roasting them myself. And when I finally did try to do it, the first few recipes were so time consuming I […]
Natural Migraine Treatments – The Delicious Cures That Work For Me
The other day, I came home from work and as soon as I got in the door noticed the first signs of an oncoming migraine. I haven’t been able to figure out what my migraine triggers are, but stress definitely seems to be a huge factor. And allergies. And going too quickly from a very […]
Favorite Pinterest Board Of The Week: Holidays
My Pinterest board pick this week is the gorgeous, clean-looking, and thoroughly inspiring “Holidays”, by Ginny Branch Stelling. I love everything about it – from the adorable dogs in antlers to the Christmas light storage tips. In fact, all of Ginny’s boards are fabulous, which really shouldn’t come as a big surprise; she is an […]
DIY Birch Bark Candle Holders
I have been seeing a lot of birch bark decor all over the place lately – birch bark candle holders, candles, vases, place card holders, flower pots, even wedding invitations – and I really like the look. So when we took a walk in the woods around the very pretty Echo Lake in New Hampshire earlier this fall and […]
Rainy Day Photography
People are often surprised when I tell them that overcast days are usually better than sunny ones for photography. Sure, sunshine looks happier overall, but the midday sun also produces very unflattering, harsh shadows and can be quite a lighting challenge. I love sunshine as much as, if not more than, everyone else, except for […]

Also check out some of […]
Healthy Mexican-Inspired Vegan / Vegetarian Pizza
I love Mexican food and we eat lots of it, but the idea to put beans on a pizza had never occurred to me until I had the super delicious San Clemente pizza at Pizza Port in Solana Beach a few years ago (Solana Beach is a bit north of San Diego, CA – […]
Winter Wonders: My Favorite Pinterest Board Of The Week
Winter wonders… whether you like the cold season or not, snow and ice and Christmas decorations make for very pretty pictures. Are you as smitten with Pinterest as I am? I have to confess that I am a bit of a Pinterest addict… I’m on both Facebook and Twitter (well, I signed up on Twitter but have […]
New Christmas Clogs From Troentorp
Swedish clog maker Troentorp just released their new Christmas clogs collection for the 2012 holiday season, three pairs in all, so festive and cute (as are all their designs; I’m a big fan). I love the mix of traditional and modern: These would look so cute with jeans or a black dress! All have leather […]
Adorable Scottish Terrier Treasury
I was doing a bit of cleaning up in my Etsy shop and happened to come across this adorable Scottish Terrier Christmas treasury that was put together by Marc of efinegifts (a vintage shop on Etsy) back in August. Marc says two of his greatest obsessions are Christmas and Scotties, and they are sort of perfect […]
