DIY Tuesday [Knitted Flower & Bow Accessories]

 DIY Knitted Flower & Bow Accessories
[a day late, but still fun!]
Last week I shared with you the Scarf I made for my two year old, since then I've been making different colored bows and flowers to accessorize her scarf.

I mean doesn't every little girl need matching accessories?

Both are quick patterns to make.

MOM Review [Photo Studio Tent Kit from YesComUSA]

Photo Studio Tent Kit Review: Improving Blog PhotosI've been blogging for about two years now and over the years I've learned photography can really make or break a post. I still have a lot to learn about taking pictures but I now have a tool to help!

I saw this photography tent at YesComUSA  and knew it would be just what I needed to get my blog photos to the next level. 

Once I opened it I knew it was perfect for me and my blog. It's just the right size for the crafts & food I make.

I've been working on a few posts (coming soon) and I can really tell the difference in the pictures.

Tell me what you think...

Make it Monday [Sausage & Pumpkin Barley Risotto]

Sausage & Pumpkin Barley RisottoI love fall.

Lets be honest, its really the pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING that I'm really in love with... 

I mean pumpkin spice in my coffee? Yes Please! 


Pumpkin desserts? Of course!


I keep pumpkin on hand from October through January so I'm sure this will not be the last pumpkin recipe I share this season.

This dinner came to be because I had leftover pumpkin from some pancakes...[yummy] and a I had made version of this that I made earlier with Sweet Potatoes.

I think this one is even better than the last!
