My Personal Mitten Moments
- It’s a miracle! I’ve finally had success growing hydrangeas. Do you grow them? I’ve been reading all about drying them and finally cut some today. Fingers crossed and wish me luck!
- We had a fun family friend wedding and our youngest son stood up. However, you’ll never believe what happened. The reception was interrupted by a tornado warning. Everyone was evacuated to the basement of the country club. That is also where they store all the golf carts. Needless to say, the carts made a great place to sit while we waiting out the storm. When the threat of bad weather was over, all the guests were able to resume the celebrating. What a story the bride and groom will have! Crazy right?!
- Have you every heard of twisted bacon? Apparently, it’s all the rage for cooking bacon, and supposedly, it makes your bacon crispy and tender. Who knew?

Today, I’m sharing a little bit of summer and a little bit of fall. Being that it is still summer, I think they can share this space, don’t you?
My good friend Tammy from White Lilac Farmhouse shared the cutest patina pumpkins made from old vintage jello molds.
Aren’t these the cutest?
My friend Elizabeth from Pinecones and Acorns is quite the baker! She always has the best recipes to share. This week, she shared The Best Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread.
Double Chocolate!
I have some zucchini’s that got a little too big in the family garden. So you better believe I am going to try and make this recipe.
If you’re like me, I host events at my home alot. Especially, during football season. I saw this recipe from my good friend Jen from Midwest Life and Style and just had to share. Her Ultimate Dill Pickle Cheese Ball is going to be the perfect addition to one of our football Sundays!
Doesn’t it look delish!!?

I love reading your Mitten Moments. The dress you wore to the wedding is so beautiful!
Thanks so much, Missy! I love the color.
What an interesting wedding! That will certainly make for a fun story for the bride and groom for years to come!
Thank you so much for sharing my dill pickle cheese ball recipe. If you try it let me know what you think! I could eat one by myself.😂 It’s so good!

Kim, have a wonderful week! Love your Mitten Moments! I always learn about something or someone new!
Thanks Elizabeth!
You are so sweet to include my pink milk glass post with your features this week, Kim, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I’m super excited about your hydrangeas. I’ve had to baby mine in containers on the front porch because it’s so hot and humid in Florida. They’ve lasted a lot longer than I thought they would but they need to be transferred now and I’m so nervous about it. Anyway, glad your son and all the wedding guests were ok. You look so beautiful and what a fun memory! Big hugs and thank yous, CoCo
Thanks so much, CoCo! I’ll say a little prayer for your hydrangea transfer. They are such beautiful flowers and I would be nervous, too! We have such harsh winters, I’ll be praying mine come back in the spring. Have a great rest of your week!
