“How to Start a Blog” – New Page!


Blogging, Naomi

Have you ever wanted to start a blog? And not just a cooking blog – I mean, a blog of any kind? Blogging takes all forms and personalities, like the people who write them. There are many “Successful” blogs out there– and no two of them are the same! For a while, I wanted to […]

Tea Parties at Home


Food, Gluten Free, Recipes, Sweet

Tea parties at home are the best. I remember having them when I was a little kid; my mom would occasionally want to make something sweet (or just create a special occasion for us), and then she’d spruce up an ordinary day by surprising us with something like this. Being homeschooled has a lot of […]

2020 Here I Come!


About, My Story, Naomi

Hey guys!

It’s been a very long time – too long of a time. And the new year has me dreaming like I’ve never done before!! (Ok maybe I have, but let’s just say the life has been blown back into me, and I’ve got a fresh vision for this blog!)

I think the last time I was on here, I had just gotten engaged, and I was heading into wedding planning with a plan to not worry about my blog, at least for a while. And, well, life happens. Not only were we busy during those months with wedding planning, we also encountered a year of surprises that I could not have predicted (or wished to predict).

A Brief Update

Busy Getting Engaged and Stuff

Well, once again I’ve fallen behind in blogging because of life. This time I think I have a pretty good excuse, though – I GOT ENGAGED! I wish I had a nice picture of us to share on here, but I’ll have to wait until we get some of those taken. In the meantime, I […]
