 This is an all too familiar sweet scenario in my mornings. Gally on my lap, Dollar by my side. I thought I would share in the hopes that it might put a smile on your face! 😊

More garden, less "busy" is always a good idea!

Easy Homemade Vanilla Extract ~

video short here

I invite you to  join me as I show the easy way I make homemade vanilla extract. (YouTube link to the video short here)

You will have gourmet vanilla to give as gifts and, of course,  to use yourself!

Have fun with it and experiment with different spirits (rum, brandy, etc) and different types of vanilla pods. 

!!!WARNING!!! this can be a fun, addictive (but delicious) rabbit hole to fall down!

I would love to hear your experiences with making vanilla (and other) extracts. We can all learn from one another! 

Thanks for stopping by!

xo, TJ

Livin' La Vida Nightgown~

 

I'm blushing a bit as I confess post this😳

I have been living in thin cotton nightgowns more often than not this summer, as we've had days upon unending days of triple digit (Fahrenheit), heat advisory/excessive heat warnings. I've said (ad nauseum 🫣) that I don't do well in our heat, so wearing the coolest garments possible has been my saving grace. They have literally kept me from experiencing the nausea and other unpleasant symptoms I have become accustomed to in past summers that even my coolest of dresses never helped.

Do I feel weird wearing nightgowns most days? For 'bout a split second. And then I remind myself that I am doing it for my health so that I feel good, not out of laziness (it actually has helped me be more productive this summer since I feel better more often). I then throw an apron on and carry on with my day.

Let's all take care of ourselves unapologetically (as long as we aren't hurting anyone else with our actions-I don't wear my nightgowns when I'm out & about 😆). Stay cool & hydrate!

Thanks for stopping by!
