Three fresh-from-the-oven artisan breads that are perfect for Fall and super easy to make!

I really love the artisanal or rustic loaves with the crunchy tops and the flour-dusted bottoms. These loaves tend to be a bit more (ok a LOT more) dense than the Wonder White Bread you find in the grocery store, but they are SO good. Plus, they make for really tasty sandwiches along side a bowl of piping hot soup. YUM

The easiest 7-minute breakfast you’ll ever make.

The easiest 7-minute breakfast you’ll ever make.

I’ve been making these easy breakfast-in-a-bowl meals for a while now and still think they’re genius. Who likes a lot of fuss in the morning? Not me, that’s for darned sure. The only thing I really want to worry about when I get up in the morning is whether my favorite coffee mug is clean and there’s coffee ready. This working from home thing has its perks, but I’ve also lost some of my prior enthusiasm for getting up early and seizing the day.  Heck there are days when the cup of coffee in my hands is the only thing keeping me moving toward my office chair. Enter the easiest hot breakfast you will ever make.

New in Store: Super Cute Boxy Bags!

Since I had a fair amount of time on my hands, I spent some of it working on new stuff for my store and today I am happy to report I’ve got a really cute zippered bag to share with you. I styled it after the traditional Dopp kit so it has a nice boxy shape to it and it’s big enough at 8 x 6.75 x 6.75 inches to hold any number of things – toiletries, small toys for the littles to play with in the car, etc. I’m offering it in two fabric options right now with two more coming soon. Check them out in the store!
