Look no further if you are searching for the easiest, tastiest crusty bread recipe. I have to admit that I don't like and don't eat prepackaged grocery store bread. It has just never appealed to me. However, I absolutely love bakery bread, particularly crusty French style bread. Give me a French loaf, some good cheese, and some olives or tapenade, and I'm a happy girl. In fact, this is what we happily ate for lunch most days when we travelled to Paris. This post contains affiliate ...

My Top 10 Ikea Finds
My obsession with Ikea began when I was a preteen. Whenever the new catalogue arrived, I would study each page and dream about transforming the house I shared with my Dad and brother.

A Budget Farmhouse Bathroom Refresh
Read on to see how I gave our ensuite a budget farmhouse bathroom refresh for about $300. Our master bathroom was perfectly functional for the 9 years we had lived in our home and I really didn’t make any effort to decorate it during that time.
