About

So you want to know more about me, huh? Well, I'm Caitlin.  Redeemed. Wife. Food-lover. Crafter. Bookworm. Penny-pincher'. This little blog of mine is about creating beautiful and tasty things without breaking the budget. I write about our frugal[ish] adventures from the cozy comfort of our Lancaster County townhouse in the grand old state of PA.

I'm a steadfast fan of my ma's cooking, a firm believer that homemade taste better, and a dessert-first-kind-of-girl. Most of the blog recipes lean towards the sweet tooth category, but I promise our everyday meals are [mostly] healthy and flavorful. You'll find a few of these weeknight meals sprinkled in between the indulgent desserts.

I'm on a mission to craft on a budget without skimping on style and class. The projects I share are often inspired by something I saw in a store or online that I think I can re-create for less. I blog about the successes and the inevitable slips ups that are all a part of the do-it-yourself process. My husband [affectionately referred to as the hubster] helps with the big furniture projects, but leaves the small craft jobs to me.

When I'm not blogging, crafting, or in the kitchen you'll find me nannying, exploring creation with a camera, reading, at church, chatting with friends, or relaxing with the hubster and my family.

Thanks again for reading, supporting, encouraging, and for being the lovely readers that you are!
