Y’all. Pappardelle bolognese. It was so easy and so delicious - it just took a while. I will be making this again. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu2P8AInW0ownP3TieLo3oPYOGKiRO6H6ASGB40/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wpdx7ae8fnz2

Swipe to see what she’s desperately begging for (roast beef on a homemade brioche bun). #bestofcatsandbestofkittens #bfindsherbalance https://www.instagram.com/p/BtcKUuPH90sUYgXwoXsRkJin1QrlXZj3fJpdYs0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g82ciyfe59k1

Strawberry cheesecake-ish sweet breakfast rolls maybe? I took a no-knead sweet dough and filled it with some strawberry jam and a different recipe’s cheesecake filling, rolled it up together and sealed them into buns. They smell delicious, and we are just waiting for them to cook enough to try. #bfindsherbalance https://www.instagram.com/p/BtKR98qj0duidxkOKzkCQF4AtyEKcQY5DvCHPM0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pgjx91armqho

Painted the top beam, and I really like it! It’s reading brown, but it’s a cool dark gray - graphite. #makingahouseahome https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJ5fi_HRJC4ewqTPuZ8V_w45_T9EPzcmibFDw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=skbrp7iqf8h1

Painted the mantel today! May still paint the top beam... can’t decide. #makingahouseahome https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJ1R4dnetGE7-AXFZIWhdY1-QwQlheczG7QKQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pognv2ynaff5

Tiny couch for a dainty kitten. . . My grandpa built and upholstered this tiny couch for me and my playhouse (which he also built) when I was little. It had now moved in to our house, and this fluff monster has claimed it as her own, and she is so pleased. #bestofcatsandbestofkittens #bestgrandparents https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJilb3HdC-2cupUsP_c6OgPmnmkXCCViKBka00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=55puzkq958y2

It is not beautiful, and it exploded cheese everywhere, but this Stromboli smells amazing, so... 🤷‍♀️ #bfindsherbalance https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs9SMDWnGwIPq5E6lxigP_bDR6iWJYnWQRjB-I0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13rp70tr2u7l2

Per a recommendation from one of our 4/5 teachers - here’s what I’m reading. If you liked Mysterious Benedict Society, Mr. Limoncello’s Library, and The Westing Game, this book will be right up your alley. Full of puzzles and mysteries, along with a bright, determined young female protagonist. Delightful. #whatimreading #winterhouse #benguterson https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs4nAwMDQwjLrpNd3ktkbwppBHmSaGcJJW1rno0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=172xfwnd4ti34
