Hey, folks! I thought it would be fun to document our upcoming house projects. Kieran and I bought this 1938 tutor style house 2 months ago and adore it. We’ve been working hard to make this house fit our style. The true reason I’m bringing you a house post this week is that I tanked 2 […]
Kitchen Demo

Mutant Peanut Butter Cups
This week’s post I’m sharing Mutant Peanut Butter Cups for Halloween. Mmmmmwwwwahahahahahaha!! Why are they “mutant” do you ask? Did I add a “special” ingredient to make them mutated you ask? If I eat them, will I turn into a mutant, you ask? Are they poisonous, you ask? No, the peanut butter cups were made with […]
Spiked Apple Cider
So, many of you don’t know this about me, but I love talking about outer space. I’m no scholar on the subject, but anytime I start thinking about my problems then start thinking about the vastness of our universe, my problems suddenly seem minuscule in compensation. My father-in-law bought me a telescope a few Christmas’s […]
Homemade Sugar Scrub
Holy Moly you guys, Kieran and I embarked on the craziest Portland adventure of our 4-month tenure last weekend. We went spelunking for the first time in our lives!! You guys, I’m serious when I say you need to get your spelunk on, unless your claustrophobic, it’s an experience like none other. Portland is roughly 2 hours away from […]

Kieran used to work at Alcalas Western Wear on Chicago Ave. His co-worker, Craig, was a master pumpkin carver himself. Craig showed Kieran all the tricks of the pumpkin carving trade, and soon […]

There’s a slew of ways to quickly start a fire these days: the old fashion way, rubbing two sticks together, using a lighter, using a flammable gel, and using Doritos as kindling. My favorite […]
