Vegan Winter Minestrone
Oh, man! Ina Garten's Winter Minestrone is fantastique! I
made it vegan by omitting the pancetta, swapping the chicken broth for
vegetable broth, and using basil instead of pesto (I intended to make
vegan pesto, but was lazy).
Lila+June Wrap Skirt
Our
beautiful girl whipped this skirt up between eight and eleven last
night. Can you even? The pattern is free (Lila+June Wrap Skirt Pattern)
and the fabric is Robert Kauffman from Hobby Lobby that we were able to
use a 40% off coupon for.

Overwintering
I
brought in a plant table from the patio to get our jungle of plants
arranged nicely. Everything looks happy now, but will I be able to keep
these things alive all winter?
