And so it begins . . . .

Here at my house we have FALL clean-up. Actually, what am I talking about we have ALL YEAR clean-up. Seems like I'm always going through something and re-organizing/purging. Anyway, I've had about all I can take of my VERY full two car garage that I haven't parked in since February. So let the FALL CLEANUP begin!! My goal here is by December to have most of the my never-ending to do list done. We have lived in this house for almost 6 years now and after many failed attempts of trying to make it OURS mostly because I'm super indecisive I'm feeling like things are starting to come together. YIPPEE!! So here is project numero uno . . . . .

BORING FIREPLACE

READY- SET- GO

ISN'T SHE PRETTY??


EVEN BETTER!!!


I'm SO loving it . . .changes the whole look of living room, which I'll post about when it gets finished. Trying to decide whether or not to paint the frame white and distress it?? What do you think?? Oh- and I need to go twig hunting. Thinkin it needs a little somthin-somthin in the over sized pitcher.

Oh so many pears . . .what to do . . . oh what to do??

I came home from work to a basket full of pears staring at me begging to be made into something delicious. What's a girl to do?? So I asked upon my trusty friend GOOGLE who thoughtfully suggested a recipe for FRESH PEAR PIE.  Huh??? I wondered. Had I ever heard of pear pie? Not that I could recall, but the 5 STAR review caught my eye. Now of course I had to try it.




All I can say is
 Yuuuummmmyyyy






So here is the link:
