i have hopped on the instagram bandwagon & i love it. the ease of capturing little moments makes me incredibly happy. also, i love being able to post photos throughout the day for my husband to see. i feel connected to him even though we’re apart most of the week.
honestly, i struggled with making the choice to purchase an iphone & it took a lot for me to decide that it was ok to give into my wants. i feel it’s important to always evaluate needs vs. wants & i finally caved in when i decided that i was absolutely not going to take for granted the ease/comfort/joy of this little gadget. does that make sense?
stop by & say hello!

happy weekend, y’all!

we had a little summer get-together this past weekend, also known as the first annual squawk & pop summer social. we mixed up some fruit & herb simple syrups for club soda pops to drink (recipe in this month’s issue of print:: a year in film!) & made some yummy toppings for popcorn. the honey butter was amazing sprinkled with a bit of sea salt.
we decorated the table with antique chickens & roosters.
& took the setting outdoors. everyone showed up around dark & we squawked the evening away in good conversation. it was a big success!
i learned a little something from a friend, too. popcorn in a brown bag. put 1/3 cup of popcorn in a brown lunch bag. add a bit of oil (safflower or olive oil work well) & pop in the microwave. the popcorn setting didn’t pop all of the kernels so we popped ours for about 2.5 minutes on the regular setting. our homemade popcorn in the microwave worked perfectly for making a large quantity quickly.
it was a good time. we just love this little community.
love,
natalie
