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”.

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...

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...
