St. Patrick's day decor

In honor of my husband being a 100% Black Irish, I'm Scottish, I decided last minute to throw something together for the big Irish day! A trip to Home goods always comes through. There I found a great large burlap, I'm obsessed with burlap, covered in green polka dots. Who doesn't love polka dots? Luckily there is a Target next door to my local Home Goods and I remember seeing a nice selection of St. Patick's Day decor. Of course since we are days away, it was already on clearance. But the Target Gods were good to me, and I found 2 pieces for only $7.00. The pillow was $16.99 and everything else I already had...so not to shabby for last minute throw together.

Recipe-Stuffed peppers

Here's a quick and easy recipe for healthy family dinner.

Prep time-5-10 minutes
Cook time-20 minutes

What you will need-
4-8 green, red, orange or yellow peppers (I use 4 green, doesn't matter the color, the taste is the same for all colors)
1 medium white onion
2 fresh medium tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic
Salt and pepper( I prefer Celtic salt)
Taco seasoning pack (any brand will do)

Pre heat oven to 350

Cut off the top part of pepper and pull out stem and seeds

Place in boiling water for 5 minutes

Cook meat over medium heat with seasoning

In a separate skillet on medium-low heat combine olive oil, onions, garlic for about 3 minutes

Last minute add tomatoes

Then add meat for another 2 minutes or so

Spoon filling into peppers

Cover with foil and bake for 12-15 minutes

Cover peppers with cheese and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until golden.

I served the stuffed peppers with Spanish rice and avocados. It was delicious. Even my chef husband approved. 

Easter decor galore

Here at the Little House, we love to decorate for every occasion. I've been dying to get started on it, and I just couldn't wait anymore.

This is in my front hallway across from Kannons playroom.

I love to pick up thrifted finds and use them for my holiday and everyday use. Bird pillow I found at Home Goods, rabbit pillow I found thrifting in downtown Mckinney and the turquoise children's chair I found at Trade Days from my all time favorite vendor TheRustedChandelier

This is next to my kitchen, it's just an area that always seemed neglected so our old but not vintage chest has taken over. A few items from target, homegoods and wholefoods seems to do the trick.

Our mantle is a little more low key. It's always changing and swapping out items. 

This great bunny I found at Home Goods for a reasonable price. At first he kind of scared me, now I love him!

I try to choose one of a kind pieces or unusual pieces. It seems to make more of a lasting impression and keeps the conversation going. What are your favorites?
