Welcome to the 'Krause House' in summer 2021! Something you may not know about me - not only do I adore nautical and ocean themed decor, I also have a thing for pirate folklore!

It's no secret that looks and presentation is extremely important to me. I live to decorate! However, there is something else far more important to me than decorating - our planet. I'm always looking for ways to reduce the amount of trash leaving my house each day, and Christmas gift wrapping has been something I've [...]
Welcome to today's recipe! I'm so thrilled to have been invited to work with Kaslo Sourdough on our second recipe. When Heidi told me they were adding spaghetti noodles to their product line, the first thing I thought of was one of my favourite guilty pleasure foods: spaghetti with cheese! Ahhhh, rich, creamy comfort food. [...]
Welcome to my 2020 Christmas Home Tour! Please, grab a hot chocolate, snuggle up, and stay awhile. This year I finally purchased a flocked Christmas tree, or as I so lovingly call it, my 'powder puff' tree.

Comfort food with a twist - try this lighter version of the classic Beef Stroganoff! Swapping out heavy ground beef for ground turkey or veggie grounds, leaving out the butter, heavy cream and flour, while adding in plenty of green vegetables, makes this a hearty meal you can feel good about. Plus, it's easy enough [...]
Hi there! Welcome to my little slice of summer paradise! You've probably noticed that I change up my decor every season.

Hello there! Welcome to my spring home tour! I don't know about you, but I think we're all beginning to feel a little (or a lot!) cooped up at home while we are in quarantine. I figured there was no better time to take you on mini-vacay from your home to come visit mine! Plus, [...]
