Artichokes and Hearts of Palm take this simple Potato Salad and fancifies it in to a little something special.

So – it’s been a while since I’ve been able to post. We’ve spent much of the last couple of weeks finishing with installing the crown moulding, painting, and doing cleanup and a little unpacking in preparation for Mr. Man’s Grandparent’s Visit over this last weekend. Between all that going on, there just hasn’t been [...]

One of the (more) unpleasant parts of the whole remodel process when we first moved in was that I wasn’t able to unpack and use any of my sacred space items. Either there was no space, no time, or it was too dusty and didn’t feel worthwhile. I felt this lack more when I became [...]

Okay – so – I know this is heavy [...]
