This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting fellow blogger Pink & Polka Dot. She is not just any blogger either, but someone whose blog I love. She has fun, down-to-earth decorating ideas and does a great job showing her readers how to make cool things too. Here are some things I can’t wait to [...]

Quick & Easy Chili
Posted in Everything Else, Recipe, food, tagged easy dinner, Recipe on November 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This has been a family favorite for a long time. I don’t remember which cookbook I copied the recipe out of, but I have tweaked it a little bit over the years until it feels like my recipe now. The chili tastes great the first night, but is even better the next day. We serve our chili with cheese [...]

I have been searching everywhere for a Luke Skywalker costume! I found a few online, but the choices were very limited and expensive for what they were – mostly polyester. Surprisingly, I couldn’t find any Luke costumes locally. I looked at Target, Walmart, and the Halloween [...]

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I mostly use wrapping paper (I have a lot!), but use gift bags for larger, bulky items.
2. Real tree or artificial? I love the smell of real trees, but it always makes me sad to see them die. So, I have a very nice pre-lit tree. Plus, when we [...]

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas from me and my little sheep. This is my son CJ dressed up like a sheep for last year’s Christmas pageant at our church. Check out those ears! I made them myself from a ladies Winter headband and some pieces of wooly felt and flannel. My husband says he looks like a [...]

I really want to teach my son CJ about giving this Christmas. He is 5 years old and capable of understanding that while it’s nice to receive gifts, it’s wonderful to give gifts too. After we learned that his school was participating in Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child, we decided to help as a family too.
Operation Christmas [...]
Ask Me About…

I don’t know what it is about me, but frequently when I go shopping other shoppers stop to ask me questions. I know what you’re thinking - I must be wearing a red shirt and khaki pants when I’m at Target, or I like to wear a blue vest while hanging out at Walmart. Mmmm no, I don’t think [...]

As a 1930s wife, I am
Very Superior
Take the test!
This cracks me up – you’ve got to try it. Who would have thought I would be a “Very Superior” 1930’s wife? I don’t even cook! And I put my cold feet on my husband at night. I guess my other exceptional abilities make up for these [...]
