I’m always thinking of ways that I can revamp, redo, and renew by kitchen. Sometimes, the best way is just a little change. Either way, Home Depot always has everything that I need for any project! Check out this video to see why:

I loved all your responses in my last post! Apparently one of my blog readers even tags bathroom stalls with my blog URL. I wonder what truth there is to that comment… Actually, I’m even more curious as to who came to my blog from a bathroom stall display. Anyone? Anyone? Didn’t think so.

I just noticed today while cleaning the kitchen that I had a drawer underneath my stove. You can imagine how ecstatic I was to learn that I had MORE kitchen space! I don’t know how I missed it the first time around. I guess I’m not used to electric stovetops with drawers built in.

These cookies didn’t really taste like graham cookies at all. They tasted more like a softer snickerdoodle with a hint of honey. I was bummed that they weren’t what I was going for, but everyone else devoured them thinking that they were snickerdoodles, anyways. As long as you don’t bake these with the expectation of making a s’more, you’ll be pleased.

Hi guys! I’m so so sorry I haven’t updated in.. *gasp* one month!!
