How I Learned to Stop Worrying (About Botulism) and Love to Can
Long-time blog readers will remember my first foray into home canning last year, and the crash course I ended up receiving in pectin.

Garden Update: Everything’s Coming Up Salsa!
One of the most frequently visited posts I’ve done on this blog is about how we built a diy raised bed vegetable garden. It’s been over a year since we first planted anything, and in that time we’ve had HUGE yields of just about everything we put in the ground. Lately, it’s all about the […]

Creating a Simple & FREE Anniversary Infographic
The hubby and I are celebrating our 3rd marriage anniversary today, yay! Since we tend to prioritize “experiential” presents more than actual “stuff”, we agreed to put any anniversary funds towards an upcoming weekend getaway instead of getting each other actual presents.
