We all have to do it. No one wants to, some manage to avoid it, but we pay taxes. From the time we are 6 years old and have to fork out a portion of your hard-earned goods. You would carefully sort through, sneak a few of your favorites before you had to pay up [...]

According to Random.org, the winner of the Build-A-Bear Giveaway is: 6 Michele in Salem The one that stands out for me is a chemistry set. That’s funny because I’m not at all scientifically inclined, but all of these years later I do love to cook and “mix things up”. I think that’s what I loved [...]
Giveaway- Build-A-Bear

If you were to ask any of my girls what gift they remember from last Christmas it would be the gift certificate to Build-A-Bear. It was fun to go in and pick out your very own bear (or in the case of the twins, a bunny), have it stuffed, give it a heart, even make [...]

After my recent post about preparing ahead for Christmas, I decided I wanted to do more than inspire you. I want to help you prepare for Christmas, the season of giving. As I re-read that post, I have to tell you that I love Christmas even if I may have sounded a bit weird about it. [...]

For the last two weeks I have not posted a CSA report. I am so sorry and am not sure where my head is. Well, I do, my FIL is in his last days and fielding questions from the girls is nearly a full time job. Death is so hard, even when you are “prepared” [...]

I’m trying very hard to plan ahead for Christmas this year and to make some things from fabrics in my stash. I always try to plan ahead for the holidays to keep from burning out once they finally get here, but this year finances dictate moderation and planning. My goal every year is to be [...]
Carnival Time Again

Time for a fall food carnival! Hosted by The Nourishing Gourmet here. There is no mistaking it, fall is here. When I think fall recipes I think of chili, soups, stews, anything apple, and of course pumpkins and squash. The other day, I threw some sweet potatoes into my crockpot with a roast, broth, onion, [...]

Not my house, the zoo, though it many times sounds and likely lookslike a zoo. We went to the REAL zoo this weekend. The girls dressed up in their princess outfits and we walked around for awhile collecting small amounts of candy (my kids flipped as yesterday was more candy than they see in about a [...]

In the last 24 hours I have: cleaned out my sock and underwear drawer sorted through and organized my jewelry box got rid of the pile of misc. items on my dresser sorted through all four girls’ summer clothes, separating [...]
