I am going to write a full review of the new Cricut Explore when I have had some time to use it a bit more (so far, I really like it), but I wanted to show this off. This is an example of how intricate the cuts the new Explore makes are. I would have… [read more]
Mode Overload: What Do All These Oven Modes Mean?
I’ve always wanted a convection oven, but I’ve always only had a countertop one. I was excited because my new JennAir range, a 48 inch standalone gas range (JGRP548WP ), has a convection oven.

Kitchen Remodel Week 6 – It’s Coming Together
I waited an hour too long to order my appliances last week, so last week and most of this one was a bust. They couldn’t do anything (so they said) because they needed the appliances in before they did anything. I’m not really sure why they couldn’t do the backsplash and some of the… [read more]

I watch the DIY network sometimes, and they do kitchens in a few days while sending homeowners on a nice spa vacation. I knew the reality was much different (and much longer),… [read more]
Kitchen Demolition – Week 1
A friend of mine suggested that I keep a journal of my kitchen demolition. I really keep saying, “I need to blog more” so I thought I would do it here. Last week I started a remodel on my kitchen which involved a complete tear out to change the layout of the kitchen. Most of… [read more]
Crochet Adorableness
Owl iPhone Case – My third recent project This is not food related, but this is my blog so I’ll post it if I want to. I started to learn to crochet last year, but I got bored because all I knew how to do was make scarves (I only made 2). I really want… [read more]
