Spring 2020.....One We Will Never Forget




This Spring and Easter has been strange, for sure.  It never really felt like Lent and Easter, and I have a feeling that down the road, when I think back on Spring 2020, I will get an eerie, sad recollection from this moment in history.  However, although life out in the world basically had come to a screeching halt, and many were struggling with the virus that was plaguing the globe, I tried to keep my home alive with the season that was upon us.

Putting little pops of color and Spring décor pieces around my home helped to create a haven where I could "shelter in place" in a happy environment.  Maybe it is because this Spring has been so difficult that I find myself very anxious to put all of the Spring décor away and begin decorating for Summer.  Just maybe officially switching from one season to another will make me feel like we are headed for better times and almost ready to put the worst of this pandemic behind us.  So before I make the switch, I want to post some pictures of what my home looked like during what I'm sure will be the single most devastating period of time in our lives.  I know in the future, as I look back at these pictures of my home, I will forever remember the lives that were lost to the virus, the sea of masked humanity, the fear of getting too close to others in public, the empty store shelves, the longing to hug and kiss my mother, kids and grandkids, and the time when the world changed forever as we knew it.

Domestic Life I have always been most in my element in my home....baking, decorating, organizing, making beautiful things to adorn it.  It truly is my sanctuary. I love all things domestic so much that I have chosen this space to document all things HOME.  I hope those who visit will feel inspired to spruce up a corner in their own house, or find a recipe they just have to try, or see a cross stitched piece that they want to stitch for themselves, or just sit down with a cup of coffee and browse. ❤️ Welcome to my Home. ❤️

Mom's Spanish Rice

When I think back to my childhood and recall the dishes my mom used to make, there are quite a few that immediately come to mind. All of them evoke thoughts of nostalgia for me. If it was a night where any type of Mexican food was on the menu, we could always count on this Spanish Rice being on the table as a side. This is a one pot dish that comes together quickly with few ingredients. Once the bacon and onions are sauteed, everything is just tossed into a pot and simmered on the stove together. It all comes together in about 20 minutes once it starts simmering, and the result is a creamy rice dish full of tomatoes and bacon!  This is the perfect side dish to tacos, enchiladas or quesadillas. On this particular night, I made soft tacos to go with it, but opted to put some taco meat and shredded cheese on top of my rice, and it made a fabulous Spanish Dirty Rice of sorts!  However you choose to eat this, you will enjoy every bite!
