I have never been able to master a easy biscuit recipe until I made the switch to self-rising flour. Mama always told me to make the switch and for some stubborn reason of mine I felt like I was cheating. I know, I know. It seems silly but I was convinced. But I am here to say I was so wrong and this 3 ingredient biscuit recipe is to show for it. If you want the EASIEST and TASTIEST biscuit you ever put in your mouth then look no further. -PIN FOR LATER-
These little snowball butter cookies will literally melt in your mouth. They are soft, dusted in a coat of powdered sugar and are just the right blend of sweet and buttery. Their texture is really hard to compare to other holiday cookies, but what I can say is, if you like a classic holiday butter cookie then you will LOVE these snowball cookies. My hubby and kiddos could hardly keep their little hands out of them. They are a bit messy to eat but I like to think that just adds to the enjoyment. Seeing the little crumb trails and…
There is simply nothing like Fresh Squeezed Country Lemonade in the Summer time. I pairs well with a hot day by the pool or after weeding the garden in the scorching Summer heat.

Lemonade can be served in a variety of ways. Warm lemonade served with raw local honey can help ease chest congestion and may also help soothe a sore throat and stuffy nose. This is a good tip…
Old-fashioned homemaking and simple DIY Living isn’t all about being a stay at home mom, although, that certainly is a big part of my personal experience. Rather is is about embracing a slower paced and intentionally simple lifestyle. Back in the day this type of lifestyle was the standard way of living. Today, no so much. I am on a mission to help women embrace this lifestyle and to encourage them that it is possible in today’s world. Women of all ages should feel confident in nuturing their home and spaces in a way that feels wholesome. “I am beginning…
There are plenty of reasons to choose raised garden beds over traditional planting. They are easier to weed and maintain, plus they make gardening look organized and beautiful.
