Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Hubby and I have been busy at work around the house. We added wainscoting to our entryway and have been painting a majority of our main floor. Can't say it has been a lot of fun but the results are totally worth it. I've been taking lots of before and after pics and I hope to share them sometime soon. In the meantime, here are some random pictures via Instagram (love that app!).</div>

Well, I have a new favorite plant this year. Suddenly I have gone succulent crazy! Before this spring I don't think I have ever planted or owned a succulent. Now I have a couple pots outside and a cute little plant by the kitchen sink. Mixing and matching succulents is a lot fun since there are so many variations of the plant.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's my first succulent garden I planted a several weeks ago:</div>

Yesterday I was running errands and noticed the local nursery had all plants half price. I had to use some major self control to keep from buying one of everything! They had beautiful succulents that were quite large for only $2. What a deal! Later in the day I went to Target and discovered several pots on clearance. So I got the plants and the pot for half price!</div>

While I was busy 'pinning' things this week on <a href="http://pinterest.com/frillydetails/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> I ran across a recipe for iced coffee that caught my eye. I am a huge fan of cold brewed iced coffee and am always open for a new variation. I usually brew it with just coffee grounds then add vanilla Torani syrup when I'm ready to drink. This recipe has you add brown sugar and cinnamon to the coffee grounds. Sounded interesting enough to try.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The original recipe can be found on <a href="http://www.food52.com/recipes/2018_magical_coffee" target="_blank">Food 52</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what you need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2/3 cups ground coffee</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 cups water</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 tsp cinnamon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 T dark brown sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Put everything in a quart jar and stir.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cover and refrigerate overnight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next day, pour coffee through a fine mesh strainer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use a reusable coffee filter (pictured below). This step takes a little time. I've found that stirring the coffee in the filter helps it strain a little quicker and it's also helpful to remove the grounds before pouring more coffee through.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the coffee has been strained, fill a glass with ice and pour in coffee until glass is 3/4 full.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then add milk or cream to taste.</div>

I guess my blog has turned into a food blog! There are so many projects around the house that I have lined up but don't have the time for right now. Hopefully I'll get to them sometime this summer. I've been trying to come up with some quick and easy meals so we don't resort to eating out for dinner. This meal is a definite keeper!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am a huge fan of roasted tomatoes. Something really amazing happens to tomatoes after they have been drizzled with olive oil and roasted with garlic. So yummy. For dinner tonight I decided to make a pasta dish using roasted tomatoes. At the last minute I decided to add canned artichoke hearts to the mix. Oh wow, artichoke hearts roasted are delicious! I added some chicken and parmesan cheese to the pasta and it made a wonderful, healthy meal. </div>

Just recently I made my first batch of Kale Chips and had pretty low expectations on how they would taste but after one bite I was hooked. Even my husband is crazy about them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's what I use:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Give the kale a good rinse.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then use a salad spinner to remove as much water as possible.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Back after a much needed and unexpected blog break. I've struggled with where to start again. There have been several blog posts that I've started but never finished. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A day after my last blog post I lost my Dad unexpectedly. It knocked the wind out of my sails. My Dad loved reading my blog and the thought of posting something that he wouldn't see was too much for me. I know my Dad wouldn't want me to give up my blog, so I won't. I need to dust off my camera and get back to it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I miss my Dad more than words can say. He was amazing. Brilliant, humble, loving, caring... the list could go on forever. He was the most selfless person I've ever known. Always looking out for his family and others.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Life is fragile. Be sure to let those close to you know they are loved.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Trader Joe's opened its doors in Kansas City!!! I have been dreaming of this day for years. I did a lot of shopping at Trader Joe's when we lived in Phoenix and I've been going through withdrawal the 3+ years of living in KC. My hubby and I braved the craziness and shopped at our favorite spot Friday evening. We couldn't believe how packed it was! It was nearly impossible to shop and the checkout lines went to the back of the store. We didn't buy a whole lot since the aisles were jam packed, but we did pick up some of our favorite items.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I love it! I planted my pots similar to last year with the exception of a little herb pot on the patio. So when I'm feeling lazy I can walk a few steps from my kitchen and grab a handful of fresh rosemary and basil instead of walking out to the garden. I just love all the different flowers and colors that are right outside my window... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My top priority was to find something that created a soothing, bubbling brook sound. I found several fountains that were pretty but they were as quiet as could be and others that sounded great but were way overpriced. So last year I decided to make my own. It's not the fanciest fountain out there, but it makes the best fountain sound! Perfect for summer evenings on the patio. I meant to blog about it last year but never got around to it. I snapped some pictures yesterday while I was reassembling it for this year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Things have finally slowed down around here and we're starting on projects that have been on the to-do list for awhile. Last weekend was a doozy. We started on a not-so-fun project that involved 20 tons of dirt, numerous trucks and trailers, a tractor, and a lot of sweat and hard work. The area around our house was sloped toward the foundation, so when it rained, the water ran toward our house instead of away. Not good. We had to add several feet of dirt around our house which meant taking out all the existing landscaping. This was a hard pill for me to swallow. I have a difficult time parting with perfectly healthy plants and shrubs, especially when new ones are a little pricey! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm very thankful that my sister-in-law is a landscape designer and designed a custom plan for us. We would have been lost without her expertise. Thanks, Kylea! I'm also thankful for my husband's family and all the help they provided. We couldn't have done it without them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Spring is finally here to stay! The other night Stanley grabbed his beloved teddy bear toy and headed out to the yard and plopped down. He knows when it's too nice to be inside!
