Crafty Clean-up
Welcome to our never-before-reveled family room: We never call this the family room. Instead, we refer to it as the Grapes of Wrath room. That’s because of the couch pictured to the right and the loveseat (that I sat on to take this pic). We are renting this house and this is the 1 room…

Feed the Babe: Zucchini
A couple weeks ago, I noticed a great sale on zucchini. So I thought I would buy 1. Scratch that. It was such a great deal, I decided to buy quite a few. Hey, when there’s a great sale, that’s the perfect time to stockpile! With the help of a small child, wash your zucchini…

All My Books in a Row…
In an effort to make things organized…let me introduce you to a new section on my blog. You can find it here: Hover over that “Books” section and you will see a dropdown menu…one of which is “Bookshelf.” From now on, I will attempt to put every book I review in the “bookshelf” page. That…

When Sinners Say “I Do” – Book Review
Gospel-centered. That is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of the book, When Sinners Say “I Do.” Written by Dave Harvey, I first heard of this book about a year ago when my aunt recommended it. Since then, I had seen it several times while browsing books online, but there are…

Feed the Babe
9 bananas. 26 zucchini. 15 pounds of sweet potatoes. Cooking for a large crowd? Nope. just my son. Did I mention that he’s only 6 months? Wow. He’s a big eater. And he definitely doesn’t get that from his Daddy. See this pile of stuff? Here’s another angle for ya: I made all that last…

1 Month
Oh, the difference one month can make. or in this case…just a few weeks: and one with my little girl: What a blessing my two children are to me!

Mothers :: 20/52
This is the sight I woke up to on Mother’s Day: 3 roses for my 3 precious children. 2 here and 1 in heaven. Being a mother: one of the greatest privileges on earth. I’m so thankful for my sweet kids! My hubby also got me a necklace and earrings. He knows I love bright…

The Great Zucchini
The next time you’re at the store…buy zucchini. And lemon. Just buy now and ask questions later. You’ll thank me. Promise. I’ll wait while you go to the store. —- You’re back? Okay, you wanna know why I told you to buy zucchini and lemon? Booya. That’s why. What is it? Only the greatest thing…

overwhelmed
It’s Sunday evening, 8:52 PM. The kids are in bed and my husband is out for the moment. Quiet times like these are rare for this momma and I’m using this one to think over the day: Mother’s Day. My4th one if you count the one when I was first pregnant. Mother’s Day never ceases…

Still Life :: 19/52
Can’t believe it’s week 19 of the 52 week photog challenge over at My 3 Boybarians. It’s crazy how fast we are coming to the middle of 2012! The theme this week is “Still Life.” My interpretation: It’s been rainy off and on this week. On Wednesday, I put the kids down for a nap…

Hot Virginia Dip
Several years ago, my dear Aunt Judy had a massive family reunion at her home. Great fun was had and delicious food was eaten…as always. This dip stands out in my memory. Perhaps it’s because it was so tasty…or maybe because I ate so much of it. Either way, I copied the recipe from Aunt…

Mrs. Meyer’s On the Cheap
I think it was about a year ago when I first heard of Mrs. Meyer’s. Maybe it was from Nester. I can’t remember. All I know is that I was convinced I had to sniff her cleaning products the next time I went to Target. Then last year I had a life-changing experience when I…
