    It’s All in the Details

    ByMary Crozier March 10, 2017October 12, 2020

    The Willetta project is moving along and I’ve got my fingers crossed that it will be completed by March 25.  Right now, we are putting all the pieces of the puzzle back-the kitchen cabinets, countertops, appliances, tiling, final window and door trim, and final paint. The last 5% of any renovation/restoration is the most important….

    Eating Healthy

    ByMary Crozier March 6, 2017July 27, 2017

    Yesterday morning,  I noticed so many people photographing their breakfast and sharing it on Instagram.  So I was inspired to do the same. I made a fresh egg cooked inside a slice of 7 sprouted grains bread, seasoned with fresh thyme, sea salt and pepper. I toasted the bread in olive oil first, then cut…

    Painting/Stenciling a Concrete Floor

    ByMary Crozier February 28, 2017June 8, 2022

    DIY Girls’ Night Out

    ByMary Crozier February 23, 2017July 27, 2017

    My friend and neighbor, Dawn, invited me to a spontaneous DIY Girls’ Night Out at Porter Barn Wood in Phoenix.  I have to chuckle because I don’t believe I’ve ever gone on a Girls’ Night Out.  I am so swamped that when I do have a moment, I tend to spend it here at Bella…

    Love is in the Air

    ByMary Crozier February 14, 2017January 23, 2023

    I wanted to make something for my husband and the wonderful crew I have at the Willetta restoration.  One of my husband’s favorite desserts is homemade cherry pie.  I did think about making a whole one but we’ve been trying to eat healthy since the first of the year and I knew a huge pie…
