  • In case you’re wondering whether or not hanging photos and mementos of your pet after they’re gone will only serve to make you more sad - I can tell you that it has put a smile on all of our faces. I’ll be sharing more about our memorial wall this week. 

Special thanks to my friend @caitlinkrumm for the beautiful canvas art she designed and surprised me with when Hugo passed away (centered on the wall in a vintage gold frame) - and - to my friend, Melissa, who surprised me with the beautiful heart-shaped tribute stone I placed in our zinnia garden.

  • Fig, Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Bites, yum!
🍽️Here’s a crowd-pleasing dish that’s simple enough to not overwhelm moms with ADHD (like me ☺️). 
🤎I served this first to my mom, then brought it to a work event and my family picnic (where I am in this video) and I got ton of requests for the recipe. 
I’m even making it ahead tonight to bring it to a graduation party tomorrow. It’s really that good!

Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
1. Stonefire naan dippers
2. Fig spread
3. Goat cheese crumbles
4. Prosciutto 
5. Honey and/or balsamic glaze (optional but good)

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees 
2. Layer fig spread onto naan dippers
3. Sprinkle crumbly goat cheese over top
4. Top with little pieces of prosciutto 
5. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is soft and prosciutto reaches desired crispness.
6. Drizzle with honey and/or balsamic glaze for added flavor 

That’s it - enjoy! Save for later and let me know if you make it!

  • Sound familiar? 😂🫠 
I was helping my son organize and clean his room today and told him to make his bed. I was sitting at the foot of the bed folding his clothes when he pulled up the comforter and I saw “I love mom” written in (he says) washable marker. I wanted to be mad but at the same time - how can I be mad? I asked him why he wrote it and he simply said, “Because I love you.”

  • 🤔Many of you may be surprised that I collect and love Mackenzie-Childs since I’m so passionate about upcycled decor. I believe mixing a few beautiful, high-end pieces with thrifted vintage & antique finds brings an unmatched element of character and warmth to your home. 

🏁Also - as you’ve seen here - classic and vintage Mackenzie-Childs pieces have a presence in the second-hand market.

✨Comment “TEA” and I’ll send you all of the products I used to restore this iconic Courtly Check @mackenziechilds tea kettle - plus my favorites and top picks from this year’s Barn Sale - which starts today!

⏳This project was rewarding but it took a lot of time and effort. Since my thrifted tea kettle came rusted on the inside, I can’t use it for making tea - though it’s pretty to display and I love repurposing it as a vase.

  • Fig, Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Bites, yum!
🍽️Here’s a crowd-pleasing dish that’s simple enough to not overwhelm moms with ADHD (like me ☺️). 
🤎I served this first to my mom, then brought it to a work event and my family picnic (where I am in this video) and I got ton of requests for the recipe. 
I’m even making it ahead tonight to bring it to a graduation party tomorrow. It’s really that good!

Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
1. Stonefire naan dippers
2. Fig spread
3. Goat cheese crumbles
4. Prosciutto 
5. Honey and/or balsamic glaze (optional but good)

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees 
2. Layer fig spread onto naan dippers
3. Sprinkle crumbly goat cheese over top
4. Top with little pieces of prosciutto 
5. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is soft and prosciutto reaches desired crispness.
6. Drizzle with honey and/or balsamic glaze for added flavor 

That’s it - enjoy! Save for later and let me know if you make it!

In case you’re wondering whether or not hanging photos and mementos of your pet after they’re gone will only serve to make you more sad - I can tell you that it has put a smile on all of our faces. I’ll be sharing more about our memorial wall this week. 

Special thanks to my friend @caitlinkrumm for the beautiful canvas art she designed and surprised me with when Hugo passed away (centered on the wall in a vintage gold frame) - and - to my friend, Melissa, who surprised me with the beautiful heart-shaped tribute stone I placed in our zinnia garden. 

If you live locally, the folks at @petheavenfuneralhome will handle the passing of your pet with great care and grace. We highly recommend them.

Fig, Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Bites, yum!
🍽️Here’s a crowd-pleasing dish that’s simple enough to not overwhelm moms with ADHD (like me ☺️). 
🤎I served this first to my mom, then brought it to a work event and my family picnic (where I am in this video) and I got ton of requests for the recipe. 
I’m even making it ahead tonight to bring it to a graduation party tomorrow. It’s really that good!

Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
1. Stonefire naan dippers
2. Fig spread
3. Goat cheese crumbles
4. Prosciutto 
5. Honey and/or balsamic glaze (optional but good)

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees 
2. Layer fig spread onto naan dippers
3. Sprinkle crumbly goat cheese over top
4. Top with little pieces of prosciutto 
5. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is soft and prosciutto reaches desired crispness.
6. Drizzle with honey and/or balsamic glaze for added flavor 

That’s it - enjoy! Save for later and let me know if you make it!

Sound familiar? 😂🫠 
I was helping my son organize and clean his room today and told him to make his bed. I was sitting at the foot of the bed folding his clothes when he pulled up the comforter and I saw “I love mom” written in (he says) washable marker. I wanted to be mad but at the same time - how can I be mad? I asked him why he wrote it and he simply said, “Because I love you.”

Part 3: If This Place Could Talk

🪣📋If you’ve never been to the @eastmanmuseum - I highly recommend adding it to your bucket list.

🗝️This is my small glimpse of the George Eastman Museum. There is so much more to learn and I can’t wait to go back when I have more time to take a full tour.

 🎶 We performed this song for the bride’s procession that day. 
✨ Bonus post-credit scenes shared at the end

🤔Many of you may be surprised that I collect and love Mackenzie-Childs since I’m so passionate about upcycled decor. I believe mixing a few beautiful, high-end pieces with thrifted vintage & antique finds brings an unmatched element of character and warmth to your home. 🏁Also - as you’ve seen here - classic and vintage Mackenzie-Childs pieces have a presence in the second-hand market. ✨Comment “TEA” and I’ll send you all of the products I used to restore this iconic Courtly Check @mackenziechilds tea kettle - plus my favorites and top picks from this year’s Barn Sale - which starts today! ⏳This project was rewarding but it took a lot of time and effort. Since my thrifted tea kettle came rusted on the inside, I can’t use it for making tea - though it’s pretty to display and I love repurposing it as a vase. 💙If you love this type of content - feel free to follow along with me, Kristen, @maplehousebuffalo ! #mackenziechilds #courtlycheck #thriftfinds #restorationproject #modernvintagestyle
