Pulled Chicken Tacos
I think we could easily eat Mexican food every day of the week, but sometimes it’s nice to throw in a new variation into the mix. Instead of the usual crunchy shell beef tacos, I fixed pulled chicken tacos and my family couldn’t keep their hands off! At just 3 1/2 ” these mini tacos are a fun size and could easily serve as an appetizer to a bigger meal…they’re like the sliders of the taco world! This recipe could and probably should be doubled! The best part of making tacos is what you dress them up with. I served these up with some favorite sides including: sliced avocado diced…

Homemade Laundry Detergent: A one Year’s Supply
Due to the mounting costs of remodeling, I am always on the look-out for ways to cut spending on products we use regularly. This spring as I was scrolling through my facebook feed, I came across a post that caught my eye. In the article, the author shared her experiences saving money by making her own laundry detergent at home. Now, I’m no stranger to DIY and making things from scratch. I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to DIY household products, but what intrigued me was that this “recipe” was actually supposed to make enough laundry soap to last an entire year. One less item to have buy at…

My Visit to the Mary Jane’s Farm Store in Couer d’ Alene
Earlier this year I purchased “Glamping with Mary Jane” to gather inspiration for my own trailer remodel. I then learned that she publishes a her own self-titled magazine and instantly fell in love with all the great ideas for organic gardening and country living. It’s such a lovely magazine and I look for it whenever I’m browsing the magazine isle. So imagine my excitement when on vacation in Couer d’ Alene, ID, I walked past an actual brick and mortar Mary Jane’s Farm store. Are you serious?!! I wanted to go right in, but my family and I were already headed out to hiking, so I had to wait…pure torture! Even…

Beachy Graduation Party
8th Grade Promotion Luncheon Just days ago my baby girl had her 8th grade promotion ceremony and is now moving on to high school in just a few months! This calls for a celebration! For her luncheon, we decided on a soup bar. I served salmon chowder and French onion soup with crusty bread sticks, croissants, spinach artichoke spread, shrimp and krab. About a month ago, I found these cute seafood forks at Tuesday Morning. It’s not entirely clear in the photo, but they have a crab at the top. I thought they were perfect for serving up the krab. Here is my trusty tiered server that I use for…

My New Breakfast Bar
I’m kind of a late bloomer when it comes to figuring certain things out. While many people are just naturally organized and good at routines and structure, I am more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of girl, so it’s always pretty great when I find solutions to make my day run smoother. If your family is like ours, there is no time more hectic than the time before school begins each day. That’s why, even though the school year is nearly over, I’m so excited to share this idea with you. Lately, I have been obsessed with creating a cute coffee station in my house. In my quest for more ideas,…
