That’s right, I couldn’t think of a better title. For the second weekend of Apartment Therapy’s January Cure, I fetched me some pretty Hydrangeas. I was a little disappointed at the flower section at Publix, but after some hunting I found these beauties tucked away almost behind the florist counter. Oh yeah, I love […]
Hooking Up Some Hoodies
As part of the January Cure from Apartment Therapy, I am selecting a task from my list of things to get done this month. I went a bit over board and not only selected, but completed two. I know, I am a bit of a rebel sometimes. I decided to get something easy yet effective […]
Tulips for Apartment Therapy’s Cure
This past weekend’s assignment for Apartment Therapy’s January cure was to buy flowers, clean the floors and get together green cleaners. It was a nice easy task for the first weekend of the “cure”. The flower part of the task didn’t seem very important and I was ready and willing to opt out of it. […]
Apartment Therapy’s Cure: Day 1
To start off the new year organized, Apartment Therapy is running a group to help get you (and me) organized. They will be sending daily emails with assignments to get organized. On a whim, I signed up and I am hoping to follow along right with them. With three kids, it may be harder than […]
Leftover Turkey and Corn Chowder
Leftover turkey can get pretty boring, especially when all the stuffing and potatoes have been eaten. You could make turkey sandwiches to your hearts desire, but you can count me out. Instead, I will opt for this awesome turkey chowder I slapped together. The term slapped together just sounds delicious, right? Soups and chowders are […]
Pies for the Holiday’s
This past Thanksgiving I volunteered to make three pies; one apple, one pumpkin and one pecan. When they came out great, I offered once again to make pies for Christmas. This time, we need not three but six. Two apples, two pumpkin and two pecan. That’s eight homemade pie crust… what! It is not as […]
Homemade Fudge
I really like to make sweet treats to give out for Christmas, like I mentioned in this post. Last year, I made peanut butter balls and it was exhausting! The chocolate I rolled the peanut butter in kept sticking to my fingers. Hey, I can’t really complain about that, but after a while it got […]
Christmas Cookies
I married into some of the best cookies I’ve had. Each Christmas, my mother and sister in law make batches upon batches of delicious cookies. The secret family recipe is my husband’s late great grandmother’s. They are laced with coconut flakes and oats and are oh so crispy. I am not usually a crispy cookie kind […]
Pretty Paper, Pretty Paper,
Wherefore art thou pretty paper? Well, not at Jo-Ann Fabrics or Michael’s, that is for sure. I long for pretty scrapbook paper. There is so many cute things to do with some pretty paper. Time and time again I would go to Jo-Ann’s or Michael’s, and without fail, time and time again, I would leave disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, […]
A Tree on Our Tree
Oh yeah! We have our first ornament on our homemade tree. And yes, it just so happens to be another tree. Eliana made this during her church class. I am one proud mama! There was a gold bell on the top but that broke off and landed somewhere between the basket of laundry and […]
