Oh this was really good!  I’ll admit, sometimes when I am trying to use healthier ingredients on a traditional bread I wonder how it will turn out but let me just tell you, you will NOT be disappointed.  My husband who tends to not like anything “healthy” told me “Wow, that tastes great!” I found this recipe (and modified it slightly) from The Purple Carrot   This happens to be Dairy Free and (refined) Sugar Free Ingredients:  (for one loaf) 2 ripe bananas 2 eggs 1/2 cup coconut milk 1/8 cup coconut oil 1 1/3 cup pumpkin puree 1/3 cup agave nectar 1/2 cup NuNaturals Baking Blend stevia sweetener – (if you don’t have this, you can just use 1/2 c white sugar, or try coconut palm sugar !) 1 cup white flour plus 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup oats 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. sea salt 2 tsp. Cinnamon 1 tsp. Allspice (I sprinkled coconut palm sugar on the top before baking, you could also use Sugar in the...

I have had this picture saved on my computer for over a year.  (Yes, before the days of Pinterest!) I never knew the source and I always feel bad posting photos on my blog without them. Well, today while I was having fun  looking over design blogs I stumbled upon the up close photo in the old window frame and followed a very fun trail to the original source!  So, I am going to re post this, and give credit to where credit is due!  Plus you guys will love looking over her store/blog.      Welcome        DomesticBliss                                 All of her shop photos are amazing, I know you'll be inspired! Every time I look at this picture and want to SWOON !  I’m not even sure what it is that I like so much but it’s just so fun !  I do love the mix of old with the new.  It looks so “hip” and ...

Every year my youngest daughter has her birthday on a camping trip.   This year, as she turned five, she trained for.......   The Hunger Games Take that Katniss Everdeen! When she had a chance to take a break from her vigorous training she opened her presents which included: A Pink Guitar A Bubble Gun  And coloring books. When it came time to preform, her stylist really made her stand out But when the game was on, it was back to her training!  (We were just thankful she never shot the dog!) Here's to a GREAT summer!!  Hope you have some fun trips planned! ~CreativeJuicesDecor~

Good Morning!  I had to address this post as good morning because it‘s morning for me and when you are talking about beautiful flowers it's fun to imagine gazing over the morning dew and smelling roses while strolling down a picturesque path on an English flower garden! The reality is if I ever have a garden look like an English flower garden it’s not happening this decade but, maybe some day! Anyway, I HAD to share these lovely photos of Hydrangeas and Peonies that are on my must have list for the landscape.  It’s amazing that there is any bush so beautiful that lasts as long as it does! Oh man, this old crumbled wall, beautiful blue hydrangeas…..so wonderful. Once I have a few bushes growing I plan to put them in my house every day! Another flowering plant that I want is peonies!  They smell heavenly and can’t get any prettier.  My mother in law has 6 beautiful bushes of these growing every summer.  Lisa Hubbard Southern...

We all have them, you know those boxes or plug-ins that just stare WHITE at you when you look at your house. After about a year we just get used to them and they don't bother us as much anymore. BUT, what if you simply painted them!!! Take a look...,,. Ugly white outlet, two of them on my front porch! Now with a 2 quick coats of paint! Get fancier and add even MORE flowers! So simple, but it really makes a difference (-: So much better than bright white. You can see how I made this Tuscan Front Door  by adding my own clavos and hinges. Here is the right hand side of the same porch. I hope I've encouraged you to have fun with some house paint. UPDATED door in the fall!  Boy did the flowers grow :-)     Linking up to: ~ Creative Juices Decor ~

. First off I have to say, I really love San Diego. I lived there for 2 1/2 years and I felt like every morning I woke up to the sun shining and birds chirping.  I even wrote a post about all the places I’ve lived and what I noticed about the cities. This is my friends casa, the one that flew me over to show them how to apply the American Clay to their home.  I’ll start off with their backyard because it was GORGEOUS! View from their balcony off the master bedroom: The other side of the balcony view, well pretty much all their master bedroom view! Oh just some flowers around the yard……   (remember, I live in Idaho, these “tropical” flowers are a novelty to me!) They had three of these adorable fruit trees!  I forget the name of the fruit but they were SOOOO GOOD!!  Alright, back to DESIGN!! As soon as I entered the room I got excited about how I could change up the floor plan and best use the space.  Regarding the clay ...

I ran into such a fun store, full of wonderful eye candy and the prices were good! Welcome Luna Bazaar …… Purple paper lanterns under long trellis. Image courtesy of Mark Rose Events I am still in the idea stage for my sad unclothed pergola but I promise, one day you guys will get a post from me with my OWN pergola looking fabulous – at least I hope!  Are you guys willing to stay with me for 5 more years?  ha!  I’m just joking…..I think I just need to do another clay job to get some more money to spend on fun things like paper lanterns! OK, let’s get to these amazing photos!!!  This orange would be so fun for a fall themed outdoor party.  You could add some round pumpkins to balance the round lanterns.  Lots of fun. Orange paper lanterns in bright white tent with natural wood tables. Image by Cliff Brunk This is fun – all the colors turns this room from blah to “let’s party!” Anyway, I’m working on it, just c...
