by gidget life is beautiful

I was thrilled to see so many of you getting excited about my t-shirt refashion. I will definitely try to put together a tutorial… maybe next week when we get back from a weekend of camping at the beach. It’s amazing how much prep even the shortest camping trip takes! I’d be lost without my [...]

T-Shirt ReFashion

by gidget sewing & crafts

It started out as a boring t-shirt (cute print, boring shape, bought second-hand). I wanted to make it into a halter, based on a cute hand-me-down from my sister-in-law… voilá! Sorry about the poor, late-night lighting… I really love how it turned out. Can’t wait to make another!

Pineapple-Basil Chicken Salad and Roasted Squash & Gouda Soup

by gidget food

This recipe is by no means an exact science, but I love how these two dishes cook up together nicely. The soup is based on one we had at our CSA’s farm visit day, and the salad is a variation of one I saw in Everyday Food magazine. What I love best is how you [...]

Tending to Eden {Book Review}

by gidget green & natural living

Photo by newbeatphoto Can you believe it’s been six months since the big earthquake in Haiti? I can remember praying fervently as a fellow blogger attempted to get out of the country, forced to leave behind the son she was trying to adopt (he eventually came home to the US thanks to Humanitarian Parole). The [...]

Sunday Treat: Blueberry Honey Homemade Ice Cream

by gidget ice cream

My first batch didn’t come out so good. It was flaky and didn’t have a very creamy texture, even though it tasted creamy, which was weird. But this version shouldn’t disappoint.
