Lately

Since Nuclear Power school takes up a significant amount of Tommy's time, and I have not started work yet, lately I have been trying many new things. Check them out!

I have taught myself how to can homemade jellies and mustards.

I found this antique pipe stand at an antique market in Atlanta and refurbished it for the powder bathroom.

I have also been finding different ways to arrange the zinnias that I planted in April. Aren't they pretty?

It has also been fun to put together different arrangements to bring some of the outdoors inside our home!

Tommy and I have really enjoyed watching our tomato plant grow almost as much as getting to eat from our garden.

Last, but certainly not least (especially if you ask Tommy), I have tried lots of new recipes.  Some of the recipes are my own, while many are inspired by recipes one of my favorite TV channels, The Food Network!

I hope you all are having a great summer!! XOXO Laura
