Welcome to the Retro Re-pin Party! Another week, another party! It's been a fun week. I've been working on some last details for the new business I'm launching, and I'm hoping to finally be able to announce it at next week's party! We have set a new record this year with zero wedding invitations, so it's been nice to have weekends free to garden and just be home. The baby showers have taken an ...

The Retro Re-pin Party Week 45 featuring Sausage and Fennel Frittatas
Retro Re-pin Party Time! This week has been off to a slow start and I think I really like it that way. I recently got a fitbit, so I've been getting out of the house more in the sunshine so I can get my steps in for the day. I think it's actually made me even more productive to take breaks for a quick walk than it typically is to just power through something. It's funny how that works isn't ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 41
Welcome to the Retro Re-pin Party! Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Here's what I've been up to this week: My Top 5 Cinco de Mayo Recipes Trudy's Copycat Mexican Martinis The Retro Re-pin Party is a ...

The Retro Re-pin Party Week 36 featuring Paper Lilies
It's Time to Retro Re-pin Party! This week has been a lot less eventful than the week before. The most exciting part was building a raised garden bed with my hubby in our front yard. We have a tiny backyard that's mostly deck and doesn't have much afternoon sun, so the front yard just makes more sense for a vegetable garden. Hopefully our neighbors in downtown Denver understand and don't ...
The Retro Re-pin Party Week 33 Featuring Friendship Cookies
Welcome to the Retro Re-pin Party! This week has just been flying by! I can't believe it's already time for another party. This week had some great highs and lows. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll remember that the low was when I stripped a gear in my beloved KitchenAid mixer while making my favorite pizza dough. I pretty much just stood there in shock and started crying. Thankfully my hubby ...
Retro Re-pin Party #30 with a Mardi Gras Recipe and Facebook Tips
Welcome back to the Retro Re-pin Party! Happy Mardi Gras! Did you know that today is Fat Tuesday? It's also pancake day (I love pancakes!) During the Lenten season (aka "Lent"), which is the period of approximately 6 weeks/40 days days between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday, it's common for Christians and Catholics to fast from richer foods, meat, or another type of luxury to prepare their ...
Retro Re-pin Party #28 with Good-For-You Snacks
Retro Re-pin Party Time! We are sad to announce that this will be Robin's last week hosting the party with us. She's been offered some exciting new projects, so she's re-allocating her time to those and taking a break from hosting with us for a while. It's been a blast to host with her each week, so I'm sad to see her go. We'll miss you Robin! Be sure and stop by her blog and wish her well this ...
The Retro Re-pin Party #25
We're Retro Re-pin Partying Today! I can't believe Tuesday is here again! We've had a couple staying with us from out of town this week, and I've really enjoyed having people to share a meal with each evening. (Not that the hubby isn't great company, but there's something wonderful about a full table.) She's gluten-free, so I've been pulling out all my favorite gluten-free recipes. I'm ...
The Retro Re-pin Party #24 Featuring Bacon Wrapped Dates
It's Time For a Retro Re-pin Party! Happy Tuesday! I had my eyes dilated for the first time today, so it's been an interesting morning. I never realized how many things I look at close up on a regular basis to get all my blogging work done. At least I can still eat? I've been busy this week with several new series here on the blog. A quick run down of my new posting schedule: Monday: Main Dish ...
Retro Re-pin Party #22 Featuring Homemade Vanilla Sugar
It's time to Retro Re-pin Party! This week has finally felt like Christmas around here. I went to my first holiday party - a book swap with my book club. We each brought a book we really love and exchanged them with a little poem. Whichever book we ended up with will be what we read for January's book club meeting. When I first joined the book club, I had no idea how much I'd come to enjoy ...

Get your Pinterest pins ready because it's time for the Retro Re-pin Party! I just got home from the most wonderful food eating trip to Portland. You can read all about it here in my post from this morning. It's been a bit crazy to be travelling so much. I've been ordering packages left and right for holiday gifts and trying to time them so they'd arrive when we were actually in town and ...
