I have been slowly rearranging and decorating our house using the CoMi method by the Nester. You should get her book. Our current house is the biggest space I've ever had to decorate and arrange solo. When we moved in a year ago it felt overwhelming. Reading her book and using her method made it… Continue reading 7 Quick Takes v. 7
Hillbilly Days Ya'll. Hillbilly Days. I woke up Thursday morning full of anticipation for the fried food bonanza that was to come. My day at Hillbilly Days always starts with a lap around the vendor areas to get the lay of the land. It is my favorite time at the festival. In the early hours, while… Continue reading Hillbilly Days Food Guide ’17
Well, the long awaited, much anticipated Hillbilly Days Food Guide is back!

Andy and I have only been in Pikeville for 2 years, so you might still call us Hillbilly Days novices. However, both years we have hit 'Billy Days hard. I might have mentioned before that our unofficial family motto is "Go Hard or Go Home". Anything we do, we tend to do it hardcore whether… Continue reading Hillbilly Days Food Guide ’15
Well we are at the end of the first week of the 2nd Annual Paleo February but as usual, we couldn't let January go out without a bang. I didn't realize it at the time, but we made almost the exact same thing as last year right before Paleo February. I guess knowing that you're going… Continue reading Blueberry Donuts

I wasn't necessarily planning on bring the series back today but last night I saw a picture on Bonnie's Instagram of her homemade English Muffins and my mind was blown. For some reason, I considered English Muffins one of those things that you had to… Continue reading Homemade English Muffins
This garden has been over a year in the making. We originally intended to get it started last summer right after we moved here. Well, last summer came and went and all we had done was read a book on gardening and buy some cinder blocks. Work and school got going and the garden dream… Continue reading Our Garden Experiment
The Saturday that we made these apple donuts, it was the last Saturday before Paleo February, so we decided to go out with a bang and channel our inner Pioneer Woman. Since then, I've decided that our family food motto is "go hard or go home" because whether we're eating healthy or not, we don't… Continue reading Apple Donuts
Today concludes our first ever Paleo February. I'll try not to steal too much thunder from Andy's wrap up post that'll be up sometime after his big exam on Monday but I think it was a success. Although Andy wasn't convinced by my "It's already March in China, so let's eat some mac & cheese"… Continue reading The Last Day of Paleo February
Today, the school where I work and Andy is a student closed due to snow for the first time in about ten years. There's a long story to go with the morning's events but suffice it to say, we walked to all the way to campus just to come back home. While we were walking… Continue reading Paleo Cinnamon Rolls
