Making cinnamon rolls from scratch may seem like a daunting task but I promise, you can do it! I hooked up with my sister-in-law as part of my Friday with Family and Friends series to get the low down on how she makes her most delicious cinnamon rolls from scratch. I also came up with a way to make them even easier and cut down on ingredients! I’m sharing both ways with you today.
Lately, I’ve been spending a ton of time with my family. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you probably already know this. My days have been filled helping my parents get the house they purchased ready before the big move. My momma and I have been painting, furniture shopping, redoing furniture, and painting some more. Well, the day has finally arrived and we will be moving them in on Saturday! Everyone is through the moon with excitement! Continue reading
This is Mrs. Hannah. She was the original owner of this piece and has since handed it down to her daughter in law. Let me give you a little background on this piece of wicker.

Hannah believes the piece to actually have been made in the 1920’s. It held it’s place of prominence in Hannah’s home for a number of years and then was moved to her front porch. Continue reading
Hi all!! Happy Friday! It’s been a crazy busy week for me!
I’ve come up with an idea! I have so many talented family members and friends that are always cooking up something delicious, doing some really cool DIY projects, or throwing some fun event. I’ve decided to do a post called Feature Friday With Family And Friends! Sometimes I will have my hand in the cookie jar on these posts and sometimes I will be elbow deep. Other times it will be a spotlight on that particular family member or friend and strictly showcase how talented they are! I thought this would be a great way to show off the fun, cool, and creative things that I get to see and you wouldn’t because these folks don’t have a blog. Continue reading
