Our New Pet
Today we saw they were giving away free puppies at Wal-Mart. I love puppies…but they cost a lot of $$ when you figure in food, shots, grooming, etc…SO we decided on a different pet…one that we found in our very own yard! FREE! And it eats so much less food than a dog and no [...]
Oh me, oh my at the strawberries!
Last year a lady in our church kindly bought us quite a few strawberry plants. We planted about 25 and then gave away the rest. Having heard that strawberries were hard to grow, we never bothered with taking care of the plants (protecting them through the winter, pinching off blooms or whatever your supposed to [...]
Apple Crisp w/ Vanilla Ice-cream
I had my in-laws over for dinner last night and this is what I made for dessert. Everyone enjoyed it. I’m thinking of making the apple crisp for breakfast some morning as it is a healthy “dessert.”
This is a recipe that I changed quite a bit to make my own healthful version.
Let me know if [...]
Great afternoon project
O.K., well it was SUPPOSED to be an afternoon project, but quite frankly it took about 5 hrs. I even had help from a friend and still it took 5 hrs. Does it count that we had 1 nursing infant, one clingy toddler, 4 young boys facing extreme odds on the battlefield in the pouring rain? Oh and [...]
Underpaid Maid Day
Don’t you just love that expression!? I came across it in an article this morning and knew immediately that described my day yesterday.
Yes, yesterday was one of those days!
I woke up and just felt ill with the world. I don’t know about you ladies, but that happens to me about 2 days out of the month. [...]
Happy Birthday to ME!
Today was my birthday…I turned 32. After such a busy week-end I wondered HOW I could possibly have a good day today, but it was a very good day.
We had a wonderful church service, the spirit was good among all the people and we met new friends and saw old friends. I didn’t mess up [...]
What a hectic weekend!
I had wanted to post yesterday but barely had any computer time and today is not much better. That just means I have a full, busy life…right!? Better to be busy than to have nothing to do, no one to cook or clean for, no children to bathe, no hubby to clean up after, Amen? [...]
I love Spring!
A man in our church came and tilled our garden up today! I am so excited about our garden this year! Last year we did a full-size garden but I was pregnant with Baby Susannah so I had very little interest in weeding and harvesting especially in the hot July and August. Now, I did do [...]
Yummy! Homemade ice cream
We have an abundance of raw cream that I am trying to find uses for. I went searching for ice cream recipes that don’t need an ice cream maker. Who wants to lug one of those out!? Here’s what I made last night and it was a big hit (even to my picky dear husband). [...]
Frugal Friday
Yesterday I discovered a great little used-bookstore. I had known about this bookstore years ago but a friend discouraged me from shopping there because they supposedly didn’t organize the books into categories. I did not care to rifle through hundreds of romance novels to find one good book so I never bothered to check it out. (I suppose [...]
