I’m so excited for today’s post! Getting my linen closet organized has been a long time coming – much like many of the spaces in my home. But I finally pulled myself together and tackled purging and organizing! Excited to share my linen closet organization / makeover with you today. Deep inside, I am an aspiring minimalist.

Red Egg and Ginger Celebration for Henri’s 100 Days
Last month, Henri turned 100 days old! We celebrate this milestone with something called a Red Egg and Ginger Party. What the heck is the significance of 100 days?? In East Asian cultures, when a baby lives past a certain number of days, it signifies that they will live to see their first birthday and beyond. Morbid? Sure, a little […]
Terrible Twos – A Monster Birthday Theme
I can’t even believe it is already the end of October beginning of December! As soon as the first of September hits, our household spirals into a whirlwind! At least every 2 weeks there’s a birthday or holiday to plan for and celebrate. This goes on right through to the end of December! And I don’t even have school-aged children…oh […]
What To Do With Wilting Berries
Hey Friends, I’m back with yet another baking post! Can you take a wild guess at how I’m primarily passing the time at home?

A Rustic Garden Sign for Grandma
Last year around this time, my mother coyly sent me a photo of her friend’s charming garden sign. It was a wood sign with hand-painted lettering that said: “Grandma’s Garden”. I got the hint. So this year, I thought it would be special to make a custom sign for my mother’s garden so she can join the “proud grandmas” posse. […]
No Sugar or Pectin Strawberry Jam Recipe
With the world in the state it’s in, I’m feeling more and more like a homesteader every day. Last week, I felt like chowing down on vanilla cupcakes, so I broke out the stand mixer and whipped up a batch. This week, I opened the pantry and a jumbo size tub of peanut butter was staring me right in the […]

Easy Adorable Easter Bunny Cake
The year is 2020, and the entire world is on lock down. It’s quite surreal. With 100% of my daily coffees now prepared and enjoyed at home, I think my routine needed a bit of extra pizzaz the other day to knock me out of the mundane. I was craving a cupcake to have with my coffee. So naturally, I […]
Minimal Holiday Home Decor
It’s the last day of December and we’re already taking down all the Christmas decor. Christmas spirit was kind of lacking for us this year. We DID get the Christmas tree up the first weekend of December, though. While all the Halloween decorations were still out on the front porch…blasphemy, I know! My mantra this year has been to “be […]
A Baby Shark First Birthday
Confession from a hardcore A-type woman: I have all of Baby Badau’s birthday parties fully planned from now to age 6. And I mean PLANNED. Not just loose theme ideas, but down to logistics, locations, and vendors. Crazy…I know.
