I love to share recipes, DIYs, and my two cents on social media.

I am also proud to be the Chief Dirt Digger at Experience Farm where I have worked with my partner and husband Brandon Pierce since 2009.

#HappyThanksgiving! 🦃 I’ve been in the kitch

#HappyThanksgiving! 🦃

I’ve been in the kitchen all morning #bakingfromscratch and I will tell you that all the hard work is worth it!

One of my favorite #ThanksgivingDinner treats are these Cloverleaf #DinnerRolls.

Do you remember these?

It takes two hours for the dough to rise the first time and an hour more once they are in the #muffintin.
Only 15 minutes to bake.

I’ll keep working on the recipe (reducing the amount of sugar) and try an egg wash on the next batch.

Let me know if you’d like the recipe. I’m happy to share. 😊

I’m *SO* grateful for my dear @thebrandonpierce - he’s my partner in life and in business.

He’s also the one responsible for the amazing #FoodPhotography in this post.

I rarely take photos while I’m baking because often my hands are covered in flour, raw cookie dough, or I have many things cooking at once and I forget. 🤷‍♀️

It’s a wonderful thing to have someone willing to not only be your taste tester but your photographer. ❤️

Discovered these beautiful #VintageSheets while do

Discovered these beautiful #VintageSheets while doing a little #FallCleaning. 😍

These #Springmaid Marvelaire “Prelude” sheets and pillowcases were once @thebrandonpierce’s great grandparents. ❤️
We even have their twin wooden bed frames! (a future restoration project!)

Originally these sheets were offered in pink, blue or yellow roses with stitched edging.

I’m thinking of using the pillow cases and making a twin duvet cover from the flat sheets to lay across the foot of our bed... but the fitted sheets? Hmmm

I can imagine seeing a fun new apron, cafe curtains for the laundry room, or maybe even a vintage inspired house dress. 🤔

Best part of this #familytreasure? They’re #madeintheusa and as old as we are! 😂

LOVE homemade #ChocolateChipCookies? I’ve link

LOVE homemade #ChocolateChipCookies?

I’ve linked my #ChocolateChip #CookieRecipe in my bio.

These #cookies are perfect to share and easy to freeze - a sweet staple in my #WeeklyMealPrep.

#HappyBaking! 😋

I’m spending some quiet time #mending my dear @

I’m spending some quiet time #mending my dear @thebrandonpierce’s favorite zip up sweater.

Fall is a favorite time of year for me because I get to snuggle in and make time for favorite clothes that have been added to my mending basket.

Have you ever heard the saying #MakeDoAndMend?

Fun Fact: “Make Do and Mend was a pamphlet issued by the British Ministry of Information in the midst of WWII. It was intended to provide housewives with useful tips on how to be both frugal and stylish in times of harsh rationing.”

I’m a firm believer in #MindfulMending...not just to help #LovedClothesLast, but to thoughtfully use the time as my #MindfulMeditation. ❤️

#MendingMatters to me because I get to lovingly repair treasured clothing and spend a little less time looking at a screen.

If you have a needle and thread and items that need some TLC, I encourage you to #MendDontSpend. You won’t regret the investment.

🥳 Celebrating 11 fulfilling, loving, and creati

🥳 Celebrating 11 fulfilling, loving, and creative years with @thebrandonpierce tonight.

- it’s a quiet and relaxed evening in our small #cottage with a bottle of @langewinery 2012 #PinotNoir and dreams bigger than ever. ❤️

Three ingredients to the perfect anniversary celebration?

A great wine, yummy charcuterie board, and inspiring conversation.

Perfection. 🥰

#HalloweenTreats🎃 I spent more time than I’

#HalloweenTreats🎃

I spent more time than I’d like to admit baking this “pumpkin” cake today and I learned plenty ... my biggest takeaway from trying to bake a cake in the shape of a pumpkin is this - DON’T USE CARROT CAKE.

#CarrotCake is a fantastic cake, but (BIG BUT) it’s not suited for the nuanced shape of a Bundt pan or fancy shaping of icing. 😖

After many crumbled attempts of shaping the icing, I finally gave in to the lesson learned - said good enough, and shared it anyway.

I do plan on attempting this again - only with a simple yellow cake recipe... or chocolate. 🤔

#WhatILearnedToday ... Things don’t always turn out the way we hope. That doesn’t mean our effort was wasted. #MistakesAreLessons

#KeepBaking and #HappyHalloween🎃

#BedTimeStories tonight are #HansChristianAnderse

#BedTimeStories tonight are #HansChristianAndersen #fairytales. 🧚🏼

Though a #SmallBook, it’s packed with familiar stories like #ThePrincessAndThePea, #Thumbelina, #TheLittleMermaid, #TheEmperorsNewClothes, #TheUglyDuckling, and #SimpleSimon.

This edition was printed in his hometown of #Odense #Denmark and is such a treasure to me.

It’s been fascinating to learn more about the personal life of Hans, his extensive travels, and his personal journey as a writer.

Many of his early stories were inspired by #folktales and I’m excited to research all of the many illustrations.

Do you have a favorite #fairytale from Hans?

“We need the tonic of wildness...” -#HenryDavi

“We need the tonic of wildness...”
-#HenryDavidThoreau,

I’ve started reading #Walden again and it has me feeling grateful for the little bit of wild we are bringing to our #cottagegarden.

There is slow steady progress in adding more cut flowers to our landscaping and bringing these wild bright beauties inside is a welcome reminder of our long term #gardengoals. 😍

Any idea what the name of these flowers are?
