Tips for an Udderly Smooth Shave

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.

I love #DIYs, #recipes, and sharing my 2 cents on social media.

The unglamorous side of #redecorating our #smallsp

The unglamorous side of #redecorating our #smallspace is the hours of #handsewing that it takes.

We’ve been living and working in our #smallhouse since 2018 and part of our journey has been making the most of our 601 sq ft.

Part of our plan has been to look at previously #unusedspace and think how we can make the most of it.

These #handsewncurtains are for our tiny #foyer. Once a place for a family furniture heirloom, plant, and a lamp - will now be an extension of our #cottagekitchen and offer me a bit more #pantryorganization for my #mealprep days.

I’m so close to reaching our goal of adding more #storagespace to our #smallhome - I can’t wait to share it!

But first ... #sewing.

Fresh #BananaNutMuffins, hot coffee, and great con

Fresh #BananaNutMuffins, hot coffee, and great conversation for breakfast this morning.❤️

Yesterday was #mealprep day and after baking a small loaf of banana nut bread I decided to use the remaining batter and bake a test batch of muffins.

It was a success! @thebrandonpierce and I polished off the last of the muffins for breakfast this morning...and they were SO good.

My next batch of #muffins will be a bit bigger though - this batch was a small but a tasty test.

Usually I make this recipe with pecans but I have to say that I think I prefer walnuts.

I don’t remember if I’ve shared this recipe or not - if I haven’t I’ll be sure to post a link when I do.

Recently I had the most wonderful compliment from an elderly family member who said that my banana nut bread reminded her of her grandmother’s recipe. High praise indeed.

Rainy days are always brighter when our #hydrangea

Rainy days are always brighter when our #hydrangea is blooming! 😍

While @thebrandonpierce was out photographing our #cottagegarden, I helped myself to a few blooms to make this #hydrangeabouquet in our #blueandwhite water pitcher.

Each year the once small plant, that his grandmother kept on the front porch, grows bigger and more beautiful blooms.

It’s such a sweet reminder of her and the love she gave the world. ❤️

How do you measure success in your #vegetablegarde

How do you measure success in your #vegetablegarden? 🤔

I’ve been working on planting more vegetables in our small #cottagegarden and front porch #potagergarden - FINALLY I have my first harvest this year. 😬

This #smallharvest is proof that #kitchenscrapgardening IS possible...even if you have a brown thumb.

The #redpotatoes were a happy accident. We were actually trying to grow roses from a cutting and ended up with these three lovely little volunteers. The #yellowonion was harvested from our compost bed and the #greenonion is regrown from our many many many beanless chili cheese fry dinners.

I hate to waste anything in our #cottagekitchen and #regrownveggies are my new passion.

🤔 What else can you regrow from kitchen scraps?

If you have any suggestions leave a comment. I’d love to give it a try!

Happy gardening! 😊

There is nothing tastier than a #loxbagel for brea

There is nothing tastier than a #loxbagel for breakfast. 😍

@thebrandonpierce picked up all of the ingredients last night and I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am that he did!

We toasted our favorite mini #everthingbagel, added a thick layer of #creamcheese, #smokedsalmon, #purpleonion, and topped it with @goyafoods #capers. 🤤

After spending the morning baking bread and cookie

After spending the morning baking bread and cookies for @thebrandonpierce to deliver to elderly family and friends ... I’m finally sitting down to work on some #mending. 🧵

I’ve put off this #handsewing project for WAY too long...and today is the day I stop procrastinating and sit down to tackle it.

This #visiblemending project is a favorite old cotton comforter in need of a new duvet cover. Aside from a few holes it’s perfectly snuggly.

I’m glad that I’m finally making time to patch it up and extend its life in our home.

Thankfully, I have #scrapfabric from my kitchen curtain project to help with the holes! The places that are #threadbare will be covered completely. 🙌🏻

So, for the foreseeable future, I’ll be here on our sofa sewing, sipping my afternoon coffee, and catching up on some of my favorite YouTubers.

Even with big #sewingprojects like this #sewingismytherapy. It’s such a #mindfulmeditation and provides me the time to decompress. ❤️

Have you mended anything recently?

#sushitime🍣! 😍

It’s been WAY too long since @thebrandonpierce and I enjoyed #sushi - especially since I’ve started meal prepping each week... sooooo tonight (before the #hangry set in) I suggested he pick up some #grocerystoresushi from @harristeeter - we needed to pick a few things up anyway. 😬

The spicy salmon rolls and cream cheese, crab, and avocado rolls are an amazing #dinnerandamovie night combo. 🙌🏻

“You glide along the distant wood-side, full of joy and expectation, seeing nothing but beauty, hearing nothing but music, as free as the fox-colored sparrow. . .“ #HenryDavidThoreau —Journal, 27 January 1858

I’m working on this #watercolorpainting of a sun dappled forest today. 😍

I’m still learning how to layer colors to build depth, working on better understanding #watercolor as an artistic medium and have realized how useful masking fluid is to work freely with color while still reserving light.

I have been #painting with acrylic for decades - so being a #watercolorbeginner means I have to rethink how I translate what I see to a recognizable finished work.

This #watercolorforest is a bit of calm I needed today. ❤️

Trying something new today? Take a deep breath. You’ve got this!

It’s #mealprep day here at our small cottage and all I’ve managed to bake so far are the #oatmealcookies.

Priorities right? 😇
