Joy In Every Season

About Me

Head-Shot

Welcome! I’m Renee. I’m not your average “young mommy blogger.” In fact, you can say that I am “well seasoned.” I’ve gone from Mom to Nana in what feels like the blink of an eye.

I’ve always loved entertaining, whether it’s hosting a party, a large family BBQ, or simply a dinner for two. I believe that hospitality and entertaining can be effortless with easy recipes and simple tablescapes.  

Traditions are extremely important to our family and I believe that the meals we’ve shared are a huge part of our traditions. I’m not a chef and I’ve had no formal training. What I do have is years of experience getting dinner on the table through the many seasons of my life. 

Many of the recipes that you’ll find throughout my blog have been passed down from generation to generation. Others have been shared between family and friends. Some have been “googled” and others are Pinterest finds. A few are travel inspired and some are straight out of cookbooks. Some of the recipes will be from scratch, others will be semi-homemade, and others I hope will serve as an idea or inspiration to help you get dinner on your table. 

Cooking and serving others in the comfort of my home truly brings me joy!

I hope you’ll visit often and that my recipes and entertaining tips help you find the joy in your everyday! And who knows, maybe one of the recipes will become a part of your family traditions!

Many blessings!

xoxo,

Renee

And just for fun, a few random facts about me:

  • I’m married to my best friend. 37 years and still going strong!
  • We have three grown daughters, three wonderful son-in-laws,  and we are blessed with six of the most beautifully perfect grand babies!
  • I love my dishes and glassware! I have multiple sets and love using them all! Is there such a thing as dishware anonymous?
  • I love driving big cars, sedans just aren’t my thing.
  • I drink way too much coffee. Like all day, everyday!
  • I’ve lived in the same town of Santa Cruz, CA, my entire life. So has my husband, in fact, we went to kindergarten together.

And, I’m also Nana, to a little blog project that I’ve started with my 5 year old grand daughter, Gigi Bean. I hope you’ll check it out. We’ll be doing some cooking & baking, maybe an occasional craft, all while having fun with her American Girl dolls.

Cute new sign is from @ericadixondesign and the towel is from @thevintagehomestudio. I love using her towels as napkins also. They’re oversized and wash really well!  #joyineveryseason ... #hotcocoabar ... #tistheseason ... #christmasdecor ... #katecodkindreds ... #tastythursdaydecor ... #designtwinslovechristmas ... #bhghowiholiday

Instagram post 2181716700546683406_3149312 The stockings are hung by the chimney with care and the family room tree is done! And, it’s my first fire of the season! I’m getting it done gang! By tomorrow night I hope to have the ornaments on my living room tree and the dining room finished (I’m still debating putting that tree up this year). Do you love cozying up to a fire as much as I do? #joyineveryseason #firstfireoftheseason #cozytime #hyggelifestyle #tistheseason #christmasmantle #bhgchristmas #farmhousedecor #mykatecodkindreds #christmastree #bhgstyle #christmasdecor #stockings #designtwinslovechristmas
