Casual Tablescape
Happy Monday everyone! I’ve been wanting to post my casual tablescape for a while now. I’m one of those people who love seeing my table put together as if we are having company over for dinner. My kitchen table is a combination of items that I have purchased in my travels from West Virginia to Missouri and back. I like the layers, height, and combinations of similar natural colors while combining my love for decorating my kitchen with roosters. One of the things I love the most is how...
SiliDog Pet Tags
This is a re-post: Every once in a while I post about pet products that I think are beneficial to Jake and Maggie and are of great quality for you to check out. Two years ago, I invested in high quality name tags for them and after two years, they have held up and are still going strong. We've traveled, played, ran through water, and they still look like new. I thought I'd pass this post along again. If you are like me, Halloween and Christmas are big events for the dogs in our house and...
Do Dogs And Cats Have A Natural Ability To Respond To Crystals?
Happy Monday everyone! Do dogs and cats have a natural ability to respond to crystals? A trend that’s becoming increasingly popular among pet parents who want to go the alternative route is the use of healing crystals. I have never tried using crystals on myself or my animals but find it interesting so I thought I’d do some research and put a blog post together. I’d be interested to know if you have tried alternative healing and how it worked for you and your pet. Interested in crystals,...
How To Navigate My Website
Happy Friday everyone! Navigating My Website and 2021 Bucket List. We are kicking off the weekend with an update to my previous post “Kicking Off 2021 With A Pudding Dessert And TAL’s Bucket List”. Hind sight being 2020, I should have separated the two blog posts which I might do later but, none the less, I’ve accomplished some items off my 2021 list that I want to share with you. One being many updates to my website which lends me to believe that I should talk about how to navigate TAL’s...
Maple Glazed Apple Pull-Apart Bread
Happy Wednesday everyone! This Maple Glazed Apple Pull-apart Bread is gooey, mapley, applely, and salty all in one loaf of bread. I found this recipe on Half Baked Harvest and had to try it because it is something I wouldn’t normally make and having an optional ingredient like Bourbon made me curious as to what this combo would taste like. Let me just say I will be making this again! As always…I made several changes to the recipe and put my own spin on it. Try it out and let me know what...

Happy Monday everyone! Who is ready for home projects? We are and we are checking items off our "to-do" list!! Pet Safe Paint...Spring is here and we are working on getting our home projects done which means painting and more painting! From the outside to the inside, I’ve got little projects everywhere. I love Sherwin Williams paint and was so happy when I talked to our local Sherwin Williams about using non-toxic paint in our home. They assured me that what I was using was safe for Jake...
Spring Tablescape
Happy Wednesday everyone! It’s a beautiful week to put together a spring table! The sun is shining and it’s 80 degrees here in WV! I’ve decided to plant another herb garden this year (see my 1st herb garden last year) and I’m going bigger this year so wish me luck! This table is a combination of dinnerware I’ve had and have used in previous tablescapes. These herb and floral dishes are made of bamboo which make them safe to eat on, environmentally safe, easy to clean, and can be put in...

I've got a big bag of Stella and Chewy's Meal Mixers and am thinking of other delicious treats to enjoy after the hunt! Stay tuned for our post! Happy Monday everyone!!!! I hope you all had a...
