About Me

Hello all!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and checking things out, I hope you enjoy my content and get some great ideas!

A little about me…

I was raised in a small town in rural southern Iowa

I am a Christian

I was homeschooled K-12

My mom stayed at home with my brother and I and my dad has either been a blacksmith or a bus driver my whole life

I met my husband when we were 15 and later started dating when we were 17 and have been married 7 years now.

I’ve lived in 3 states

Iowa of course…:)

Jackson Hole, Wyoming - My mom said she would never move out of Iowa…3 months later our family lived in Jackson Hole! We lived there almost 2 years before moving back to Iowa.

Daytona Beach, Florida.  My husband and I moved to Daytona after only driving through there at night on vacation, we had a love/hate relationship and moved back home after only a few months (theres no place like home) we made some amazing memories though!

I went to the Aveda Institute and became a cosmetologist. I was a stylist for 7 years and owned my own salon for 5 of those, I recently gave up my career due to health issues and I am learning to trust God to guide me towards my next calling in life.

I was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and am learning how to navigate through life with this new development! 

My husband and I have two dogs that are treated like royalty
Dublin is 7 - He’s old, a little chubby, and loves cuddles 
Deegan is 1 1/2 - He is most definitely still a puppy and gives us a run for our money but is so sweet 

My Husband and I bought a fixer upper last fall and you will get to follow along in our journey!

A few things you’ll find here on the blog -
Recipes - some new and some old family favorites
DIY projects - boy my list is long…
A few craft projects 
Organizing 
A little fashion and beauty
My life with Crohn’s 
Tips and tricks on daily life 
Of course photos of my puppies

A weekly recap of a day in the life of Chloe

National Peanut Butter Day

In honor of National peanut butter day coming up this Sunday the 24th, I thought I would share my favorite  peanut butter recipes from the blog.  I don’t know about you, but I never need an excuse for peanut butter, BUT I do love using these National (insert whatever here) day as a fun way to celebrate some of my favorite things.  To start us off I’ll share my favorite first! This is a little generic and certainly not all about peanut butter but my favorite is definitely  Chocolate Nobake Cookies (with peanut butter of course). And now for the rest in really no particular order because I couldn’t possibly decide between them all🤷‍♀️. Peanut blossoms   Peanut butter cookies Peanut butter sandwich cookies Peanut butter bars -  Chocolate peanut butter bars   Chocolate scotcheroos  Chocolate peanut butter fudge  Peanut butter cups  Chocolate peanut butter pie  Peanut butter popcorn And lastly...if you want peanut butter but with a li...

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature. When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger. Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger. Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings. Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface. Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release. Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it. Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted. And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉. Ingredients: 1lb hamburger 8 oz elbow noodles 2 14 oz cans beef broth  1/2 - 1 cup milk  8 oz shredded ch...
