I am so lucky that Nate makes cookies. I gave up a long time ago trying to make Chocolate Chip Cookies. It seemed that no matter what recipe I tried they would be great right out of the oven but once they cooled they would get hard and just not be fabulous. Then Nate would…
St. Patrick’s Day Mantle take 2
I found something to fill in that open space I talked about here Paula and I ran to The Wood Connection to get our cute SPRING letters for our 1,000,000 Views Giveaway and I looked around to find something fun to fill in the area below my TV. They have SO many cute things but I am…
How to lengthen outgrown pants – a tutorial
Last week I shared a few sewing projects I wanted to work on, at the top of the list was the Goose’s cow print minky pants. It’s probably pathetic how much I love these things. Seriously though, how can you not love them?! Anyway, this year they were too short. They would be adorable as…
The Boy Room Dilemma…
Our boys are such good brothers to each other! Their ages are 10, 4 1/2, and 2. They really are such sweet boys and MOST of the time they get along well and play well together. Currently, the 10 year old has his own room and the 4 1/2 and 2 year old share a…
Chicken Fried Rice
My husband has been begging me forever to make fried rice. He loves it and I had NO clue how to make it. Luckily for me, Amber over at Dessert Now, Dinner Later posted an awesome recipe for Ham Fried Rice. Her recipe is so easy to follow, so that made it much less daunting for me….

Strawberry Jello Pie
Almost every night my 4 year old asks for “berzert”. We usually only have dessert once or twice a week. Trust me, I’d love to have it every night but I don’t think we necessarily NEED it and it does take a bit more time. But, there were some pretty beautiful strawberries on sale at…

I think it’s no secret that I LOVE easy recipes. They make it so much easier to get dinner done quickly and still feel like you are feeding your family something good. This is a recipe that our family LOVES and takes me no time at all to make! Here is what you are going…
Hand Breaded Chicken Strips
My boys are pretty good eaters. They eat fruits and veggies without complaint and will almost always try any new dish I make. But lets be honest, they are kids so one of their favorite meals will always be chicken nuggets. 🙂 They love eating our Copy Cat Chick Fil A Chicken Nuggets, so I thought…
Damask Banner Card
This card was super easy to make and the best part is, you can adjust the colors to be whatever you want! I started with a 4″ x 5.5″ card. I chose the brown “paper bag” looking card. Next I cut my solid pieces of paper into 1.25″ x 5.5″ strips. After using the adhesive…
