A few years ago my Aunt gave me this beautiful winter berry wreath for Christmas along with little picture frames for each of the kids. Sadly, since I wanted the wreath on my front door the little frames didn’t last long before with all the opening and closing they became loose and I had to…
Chevron Button Heart Tutorial
We had a GLORIOUS weekend. I hope you didn’t miss us too much. Paula and I were enjoying having a lot of our family here in town and the days just got away from us and we kind of let them. My little 8 year old beauty was baptized this weekend. We enjoyed every minute…
Easy Indoor Barbecue Ribs
One of the best things about summer is barbecuing…one of the worst things about winter is wanting barbecue but it being WAY too cold to stand outside and use the grill! We’ve got lots of snow on the ground here so you definitely won’t see me outside cooking. But that’s okay cause you can make…
Be Mine Burlap Banner Valentine’s Day
Monday morning EARLY EARLY (like 2:30am early) a website I love (groopdealz) posted a darling little burlap banner to their facebook page. It was a great deal and for a minute I thought about just buying it, but then I got my head back into the right frame of mind and reminded myself that I…

Strawberry and Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
We had a yummy Saturday morning brunch of Strawberry and Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast. It was supposed to be breakfast…I had grand plans of waking up early and having breakfast ready for everyone when they woke up. But the boys let us sleep in, so it turned into a brunch. 🙂 I started out…
Malibu Chicken
Tried out a new recipe again and it was a BIG hit! I was looking for chicken recipes on Pinterest and found a couple for Malibu Chicken. I found one on Mommy’s Menu that is a copy cat recipe from Sizzler’s Malibu Chicken. I ended up changing it a bit to work for us and was…
January 2013 Card Swap
It is hard for me to believe that we are headed into our 3rd year of our monthly card swaps. We’ve seen some people leave (sad) and welcomed new friends in (yay) and I am still loving it. I’ve got a wonderful stock of cards that I am being good and actually using and they’re…
