I will learn to cook.


I'm taking a much needed break from unpacking (so.much.bubble.wrap) to announce a new part of this here bloggy blog.  I have to give all the credit to an awesome idea from my momma-in-law (love you, Cindy!).  Who, by the way, is a huge supporter, inspiration, and encouragement for my blog & my writing.  She suggested that I start writing all about my cooking adventures as a newlywed and a novice cook.

Let me give you a little background on my skillz in the kitch.  NONE.  I am the person who cooked eggs in the microwave, messed up Kraft mac n cheese (who does that?), and had to google "how to preheat an oven." Not kidding. Over the past year, I've decided that I WILL LEARN TO FREAKING COOK.  If it's the last dang thing I do. I will learn. So, I've been trying new recipes.  Brett & I took a cooking class.  I discovered Pinterest.  I conquered Cindy's chicken parm & cheesy, chicken enchiladas (h-e-a-v-e-n). 

Long story, short: I'm going to share recipes I try with you.  I'll tell you when I mess up.  I'll let you know if that recipe on Pinterest is worth it or not.  I WILL still blog about design, don't worry, & I WILL LEARN TO COOK! 

Thanks for the idea, Cindy!

Update: I now know how to properly cook eggs, make mac n cheese from scratch (kind of), and to safely operate an oven!

SCONCES & SUCH

Let's take a quick look at the bathroom shall we? Subway tile = good, real gooooood. And we made a startling discovery when we ripped up the bathroom floor..... Awesome white vintage tile....seriously- why would you ever cover that up?! Unfortunately we couldn't salvage it since the previous owner had damaged a lot of them or we def would have! That's all the pics I have for you today since everything else is taped off in preparation for wallpaper install. SO let's begin with some random thoughts. I want  this sweater: I shall be adding this to the new shop : minty fresh In exactly two short months, we'll be here: Sconces were decided on for said bath thanks to Amber's blog : Hmmm, I think that's about it. Oh yeah and diets still suck. Have a lovely Monday. xoxo ryann

WORRIED MAMA

I have a confession:  I had my first pregancy freak out. Ok that was a lie. This is my second or third. But this time was a little different.  EVERYTHING is perfectly fine thank goodness. But over the past few days I think I had my first ''am I ready'' breakdown.  It all started yesterday afternoon with Finn.  She came into the house from outside with blood all over her paw. I started cleaning it but then it would gush all over again-- cue freak out.  Instinct kicked in and I immediately put the other two dogs away and started getting Finn ready to go to the vet.  Picture a pregnant woman trying to control a 92 pound dog on a leash by herself.  This might seem easy to some people but Brett ALWAYS takes care of this part.  We go to the vet together but he holds her, gets her in the car, gets her out, keeps her from other dogs at the vet, etc etc.  This part scares me.  But I had to manage so off we went.  I finally got her int...
