One of my favorite restaurants has this gluten free flat bread they bring out as an appetizer and it’s sooooo good. So lately I’ve been wanting to figure out my own flatbread recipe. This isn’t really like the restaurants – it’s more dense I would say – but it still turned out pretty good! After…
Healthy Breakfast Wraps
I’ve been attempting to follow Bill Phillips’s Body for Life program lately. If you’ve never heard of Body for Life, you should check it out sometime (links below). Of all the various workout routines I’ve researched and/or tried before, this has stood out as the one that I have been able to remain the most…
DIY Valentine’s Name Hearts

New Camera & some Heart Garland

Cream Cheese Frosting Prep Time: 5 minutes Yields:…
Pom Necklaces
These necklaces were created as gifts for my cousins. I found a tutorial for them on the stay-at-home artist blog: it was a guest post by Rachel Obrien. The weren’t quite as easy as I though {NOT hard, I just suck at using the hot glue gun :P}, but very simple. I love how they…
Sugar Scrubs
When I started seeing sugar scrub recipes on Pinterest, I knew I had to do some for Christmas. After looking at how different people approached them I ended up coming up with my own variations {& from what I hear they turned out pretty good!} We kept a little of the leftovers for ourselves and…
DIY Camera Strap Cover
This year Wes and I thought that in addition to our regular Christmas shopping, it would be nice to make some of our gifts ourselves. While this definitely helped with the budget, it was also a nice way to have special, personal gifts for our family. As I was searching through lots of tutorials for…
Frosted Christmas Krispies
As the end of the year approaches, the number of things to get done and places to go is steadily increasing! Incredibly busy, but also incredibly fun :). This past weekend we had two different family Christmas gatherings so we decided to make some “Christmas” Rice Krispie treats. {Note: regular Rice Krispies are NOT gluten…
