Treat your cookbook like a diary. I started this practice when my daughter Phoebe was born. During her first year of life I made a cake to celebrate each month. I made notes in the cookbook, what we did to celebrate, how the cake tasted. Someday when I'm gone she will have my cookbooks and will see all the love I put into cooking. ...

Don't skip breakfast! A recent study by Ohio University shows if you skip breakfast you miss out on major nutrients like calcium, Vitamin C, and fiber that you might not get from your meals for the rest of the day!

No more droopy hydrangeas! This is one of my most watched reels. Save these tips:

🌱 When picking out hydrangeas at the store make sure the petals are firm and not wilting.
🌱 As soon as you get home fill your sink with warm water and submerge the blooms for 10-15 minutes
🌱 Hydrangeas drink from their petals and stems so it's important to soak and mist them.
🌱 Trim the ends and splice the stems. This forces water to the blooms.
🌱 Spritz your blooms three times daily with water.

My mother loved Valentine's Day and I guess that's where I get my love of red, pink, white and chocolate! Be creative! Mix vintage with new and celebrate the love of your home and family.

𝗔𝗹𝗱𝗶 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 this week - lots of fun Valentine candy, sugar, coffee and tea decanters, fondue cheese (think romantic dinner), and low priced produce for weeknight meals.

I also found some great storage containers for organizing my makeup drawer. Easy parking and no crowds!
