Homemade Gifts: Paleo Pumpkin Granola

November 3, 2014 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

Back in September, I quietly set about doing Whole 30 for the month. I post a few snippets here and there on Instagram but I definitely wasn’t shouting to the world that I was immersed in a whole month of new eating habits. During the month, I craved granola because I could no longer have my delicious granola bars that had become snack staples in my life. Of course, being September, I needed pumpkin too so this paleo pumpkin granola was born.

The most delicious homemade pumpkin granola and it is paleo too! Totally Whole 30 compliant.

Scents of the Season – Dried Fruit Potpourri

December 3, 2013 By Shannah Coe 23 Comments

During the holiday season, I am always looking for gift ideas that are homemade and don’t cost a lot of money.  With so many teachers and other people to give small gifts too, a homemade gift is a great option because it is thoughtful but easier to keep the costs under control.  This year, I decided to try my hand at making dried fruit potpourri to give as gifts.

Housewarming Gifts: Stenciled Cork Coasters

So I grabbed some cork circles and got started with my homemade housewarming gift.
