WHAT’S FOR DINNER | WEEKLY MEAL IDEAS
09/29/2024
Welcome October. It’s my birthday week and I have a special dinner request – fillet mignon and individual scalloped potatoes that I don’t have to cook. Sounds like heaven. I can’t wait. The rest of the week, I don’t think I’ll get as lucky as to not cook. But I’m gonna give it the old college try to milk my birthday as long as possible. Here’s what we’re having for dinner this week. Let’s see how many days I can get out of being the one to cook.

DIY FALL RAFFIA WREATH
09/19/2024
As I began to dream up what I wanted to do on the front porch for Halloween this year (HERE is the Halloween porch last year), I knew I wanted a wreath of good size that would work Halloween through to Thanksgiving. This year I’m thinking lots of natural, found fall elements as the base with Halloween mixed in. When Halloween is over, the fall look will last until Thanksgiving. That inspired this DIY wreath made only from a wire wreath form and raffia. I tied small bunches of raffia, about 18 inches long, around a 16 inch wreath form. I ended up using one and a half packages of raffia. The finished wreath ended up being about 20-24 inches across. I went for a messy look but the final wreath could be neatly trimmed for a more compact, perfectly shaped wreath, if desired. As the wreath came together,...

THIEVES JEWELRY CLEANER | YOUNG LIVING
08/23/2024
I have shared my love of Thieves concentrate as an all-purpose cleaner before. Today I’m using it to clean my jewelry. Just add a capful of concentrate to a small 4 ounce jar and top with water. Shake to combine. I let my jewelry sit in the solution for a few minutes and then brush gently with an old toothbrush. Rinse with water and dry with a towel. Just like that I have clean, sparkly jewelry using an all-natural cleaner with no chemicals. Did I mention, it smells amazing? If you are local and want to give Thieves a try, I’ll have some in the barnstand this weekend. You can also order online HERE in my Young Living storefront.
If you haven’t already heard, let me introduce you to my newest hobby, Christy B’s Barnstand. It’s my take...
