This soup recipe is very similar to one we have in our Fall/Winter rotation - a family favorite. But we've never done dumplings in it - what fun!!! Definitely going to try this soon! Thanks, Emily!

These are great ideas...but there's no way this only takes 10 minutes! Maybe for a single person or couple even...but for a family of five...no way.

I make my living as an interior designer...so you'd think I'd be all over the redecorating thing! But at home, my decorating ends up being more of an ebb & flow of life's "stuff" -- artfully arranged of course! A wicker trunk that once served as a great coffee table/footrest, now houses the children's toys, for example. And our "artist in residence" is a 4-year-old -- so our wall decor has shifted toward the abstract.

I love the idea of taking your time and being conservative on the spending front -- wait to find what you really love and it won't end up in the landfill in 12 months. And keeping the "bones" of your furnishings in tact while you fine-tune the details is a great way to update and refresh without senseless spending and over-consuming.
