    The Flag Cake That Disappears First at Every 4th of July BBQ

    Tara Jacobsen
    June 12, 2026

    Every 4th of July growing up, we headed to my grandparents' house for the same picnic, every single year - and I wouldn't have changed a thing about it. There was always a red and white checkered tablecloth on the picnic table, the smell of charcoal in the air, and a croquet set out on…

    How Putting Diapers On Our Old Dogs Saved Our Sanity

    Tara Jacobsen
    June 5, 2026

    We have been battling indoor peeing for a while now from our two old dear male dogs. How does this happen you may ask, well here is the story... My mother-in-law has dementia and her little dog Max (who is such a good boy) lived with her for years during the run-up to her being…

    How To Decorate Your Home First By Using Canva, Ideogram and Amazon

    Tara Jacobsen

    You found the perfect statement pillows. The reviews are glowing. The photo looks incredible... on someone else's bed. But will they look right on YOUR bed, in YOUR room, with YOUR headboard? Here's the truth: most of us can't visualize it until we see it. And by the time we see it - after buying,…

    Chocolate Fluff Fruit Dip - The 1980s Party Treat We're Still Making

    Chocolate Fluff Fruit Dip - The 1980s Party Treat We're Still Making

    Tara Jacobsen
    May 28, 2026

    If you grew up in the 1980s, you already know exactly what this is... Every party table, every church potluck, every holiday gathering in Northwestern Pennsylvania had some version of it. A fluffy, creamy, impossibly chocolate dip surrounded by a ring of fresh strawberries and apple slices - because technically there was fruit involved, and…

    Old-Fashioned Cream Cheese Lemonade Pie — The Easy No-Bake Version Grandma Never Made

    Old Fashioned Cream Cheese Lemonade Pie - The Easy No Bake Version

    Tara Jacobsen
    May 21, 2026

    Grandma Lilly Mae would have made her pie crust from scratch. She would have squeezed every lemon by hand, probably humming something while she worked, and the result would have been the kind of pie that made grown adults close their eyes on the first bite. She was that kind of cook. I am not…

    We Sold the Big House… and We're RENTING. Here's Why!

    Tara Jacobsen
    May 19, 2026

    My husband and I are selling our "big house" and downsizing. Two of our three kids still live with us… one recent high school grad and one who is in college. That said, they spend A LOT of time outside of the house so it felt weird for my hubs and I to be living…
