From beginning to end, the process only takes about 45 minutes, and you can have really great madeleines for tea time, dessert time, anytime.

I've been baking a lot with cranberries lately. I don't know what it is. But cranberries really hit the spot for me when it comes to baked goods. It has the perfect combination of sweet & tart. It is the perfect addition in these lovely muffins. These muffins are so incredibly moist (thank you, [...]
Over the holidays, I gifted all my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. with homemade apple butter. In my opinion, food gifts are among the best things you could give someone. Not only will it be used (or eaten), I'm 100% that they will love the work that you put into it. Since I live in [...]

So I've been doing a bit of DIY all over the house. Another major project that I took on was the spare guest room. Unlike my room which screams out "girl's room", I tried to make this one a bit more gender-neutral. One of the tasks I did was repainting the dresser and nightstand. [...]
After the success of the last reupholstered chair, my mom quickly requested that all the shabby chairs in the house be reupholstered. This project was a lot easier than the reupholstered armchair project. The chair pad was held together by four screws. So all we had to do was unscrew the chair, reupholster the [...]
Over the course of the past week, I've been doing a lot of DIYs around the house. First, I repainted my room! I wish I'd taken a before photo so you guys can see the drastic difference! But the picture below should give you an idea of the color my room used to be! It [...]
