Apple Crisp

A few weeks ago my sister and a good friend came to visit.  Sunday morning, we went apple picking!  I had never been apple picking before so I didn't know what to expect but it was a lot of fun.  I purchased some apples to bring home. 


Here's the first recipe that I tried...

Spare Bedroom

When we moved into our new house, it was bigger than we needed but figured it would come in handy.  With combining our two apartments, this instantly gave us a fully furnished guest bedroom.  In our guest bedroom, we have a double bed.  This is great when we had friends over but for our parents, they weren't going to sleep in a double bed together.  This meant one parent got the bed and the other got the aero bed.  If we were tight on space, this would have been fine but we had a perfectly good bedroom sitting empty. 

After struggling with what I wanted to do, I settled on wanting a twin bed with a trundle.  This would provide us the most flexibility without taking up a ton space.  Here's the room as it is now.  I HATE the color it's way to dark and makes the room feel small.  I'm reaching out for ideas on what to do with the room.




Any thoughts?  Paint colors? Bed spread? Layout?


I'm hoping to update this room this fall!

Power Loss Hack: Showering in the Dark

A couple of weeks ago, our power went out.  I hadn't showered from the gym yet so I precariously balanced a candle on the edge of the tub and tried not to get the floor wet.



What did Tony do??  Grabbed one of our outdoor solar powered lights.  It was fully charged and they're waterproof!




Next time your power goes out, grab your lawn lights!
