Instant Gratification

A fun little creation just for me.  An ID tag – to tuck in the front pocket of the camera bag – just in case I ever lose our camera.  Knowing me, it just might happen.  Once I lost my flute for an afternoon while I was in college.  I was studying Music Education and […]

Day 20

Just slightly overdue.  😉 We spent Day 20 in the car traveling to our Thanksgiving destination – Aunt Ruth-a’s house.  We were planning on going the day before but a blizzard warning {first time in my lifetime here} prevented that.  We were happy to be warm and snug and traveling instead of on the side […]

day 16

I created a clean kitchen floor, cleared the couch of all the clean clothes and made granola.  The kiddos worked on creating clean bedrooms and building a cardboard “stronghold” aka fort.  Yup, it’s Saturday! I also planted garlic today.  Last year the garlic was in the ground way before now.  We’ve been waiting for our […]

Today…

I created extra room in my fridge by serving leftovers.  Sweet. I also created the yummiest popcorn for Friend’s Day treat.  It’s our special recipe.  Our Stir Crazy popcorn popper (entertainment in itself!), Orville Redenbacher popcorn oil, real butter and Real Salt.  So yummy and it makes a huge batch – 6 quarts from one cup […]
