Kitchen Mini Makeover Update

Kitchen Update Progress

A few months ago I shared that I was starting a mini makeover on my kitchen.  My kitchen isn’t in terrible shape, but starting to show it’s age a bit.  It had torn drywall that needed replacing, a broken pantry door, a broken pocket door, some really beat up door frames, walls crying out for fresh paint, things like that.   Spending so much time in my kitchen, I was ready to find some ways to update it without breaking {Read More}

Fun Finds – Target Valentine & Spring Finds

Valentine & Spring Products at Target_-15

I’ve had a few readers request that I do another Fun Finds post, so while I was zipping through Target this morning, I did the best I could do capture all of the Valentine and Spring goodies I could as well as some other fun stuff I came across.   Unfortunately the camera on my phone isn’t the best, though that’s probably at least partly because I’m juggling it with a cart and a toddler and trying not to slow down {Read More}

Decorating Cuteness

Cute Kids Wall Art

So as I do each morning, I hit Zulily’s website to see what sort of treasures I’d find.  It’s like the lottery, you never quite know what to expect.   Well I came across the cutest prints and just had to share them.  They are by Ellen Crimi-Trent and not only are they darling, but really affordable for wall art.

DIY Magnetic Family Calendar at Love From The Oven With Free Printables

So I have this issue when it comes to projects, crafts, anything really.  I want to do it perfect.  I want to find just the right pieces and parts, and have it be super duper spectacular.   The problem is that in wanting it to be perfect, I spend all my time looking for the right items, figuring out how to make it fabulous and never actually DO it.   Sort of project/DIY analysis paralysis.   Well that is one of the things {Read More}

2012 & 2013 – Looking Back and Looking Forward

My Girls

This is more of a personal post than a baking post, one of my “behind the blog” type of posts.  And a long one!  2012 has been an extremely busy year here in the Love From The Oven house.  In addition to baking up sweets and treats and sharing recipes, tips, my favorite links and more, life behind the blog has been busy, chaotic and sometimes a little crazy. While I’m not one who is big on “resolutions”, I always {Read More}
