Make-Up Storage

Makeup Board

I got this from another Pintrest Post, but I can’t find the original This turned out great! Pinned via web I love Pintrest! I have several projects I’d like to try, but this is my first. I’m one of those people that wishes she were crafty, and since I’m not I copy other people’s stuff [...]

Facebook Makes Time Go By Too Fast!

I am a Facebook junkie. I totally admit it. I have kept in touch with people I might not normally have had a chance to talk with, reconnected with people that had faded (thank goodness!), and watched the lives of many unfold. As adults we say that time goes by too fast. As parents we [...]

Love Pintrest!

Pintrest

This is my new favorite thing, ever, ever, ever! Pintrest is an awesome website dedicated to all things craft, fashion, food, decor….just about anything! I found a great recipe on the website with a link to the original. It was awesome! I used a little more bacon, and because I was having a large Christmas [...]

Leftover Ham…What to do…?

End of the Line Ham

Once the family, friends, and let’s face it, a few people you can’t stand leave after the holiday, one question often remains: What the heck am I going to do with all this ham?! I understand not everyone cooks a ham, but I found tons of recipes for ham and since I’m going to have [...]

The Weather Outside is Frightful…

Ink

…and I don’t have a fireplace. Bummer. I do, however, had a huge fenced yard filled with things for the kids to play with. Sadly, they are wimps and refuse to go outside because it’s too cold! What?! When I was their age, I put on every item of clothing I owned, played until I [...]

Lesson Learned

Once again, it has been awhile since I have been able to post. I have finally admitted that I may be trying to do too much. We moved to a newer/bigger house and have been busy, busy, busy! In addition, I’m finishing up fall semester at Heritage University, and of course, I am always busy [...]

My Sweet Children

DSC02069

I was going to write something witty about Halloween, but I ran out of steam. I’m not feeling witty today, but I am feeling grateful. My kids are growing so fast, I find myself secretly wishing they would just stop growing. Just for a few months. They change too fast and before you know it, [...]

My Favorite Season

Fair

I am a horrible blogger. I have been running around like a crazy woman, but despite the chaos, I have to say, WELCOME TO AUTUMN!  School has started, the kids are back to school, and teachers are wistfully hoping they can keep the momentum of the first few weeks going through the rest of the [...]

Area Wineries

It seems I have survived A Case of the Blues and All That Jazz and I am already excited for next summer’s event. The weather was perfect, the company excellent (thanks to Tana and Scott), and the wine was fantastic. First let me say, I am not at all close to being an expert in [...]
