Several years ago, I was with my sister at a Sears store, having photographs of our kiddos taken. When I stop and think about it, it’s been more years ago than I really want to realize. Where did my babies go???? We chatted with another mother for a little and she gave me a wonderful […]
Deviled Eggs or Salad Eggs or Yummy Eggs
Easter is quickly approaching and surely, spring weather, coming-to-stay, isn’t far behind! I made deviled eggs this week and jotted down a recipe to share. For the most part, I’m not a cook who just whips things up by putting in a pinch of this and a cup of that and a dash of the other. […]

Outside Stuff {Hello Monday}
Spring came to tease us this week! We had some lovely days and did some outside stuff. I even slipped flip-flops on a couple of times. I’m ready to tuck the socks and coats and boots away. But it looks like colder weather is coming to hang out again this week. A look back at […]
Crusty Potatoes
I have a yummy potato recipe to share today. We all love these and they disappear quickly. Which is a good thing, because they’re best fresh. I love having leftovers to heat up for a nice, quick lunch, but some things just aren’t as good leftover. Some foods almost get better as leftovers, I think. […]
Spring Fling Giveaway Featuring the Color Green!
Giveaway! Just for fun and because I had the idea! I recently read Sparkly Green Earrings and What Women Fear. Sparkly Green Earrings is a fun, light-hearted read with wit and sarcasm and reflections on life and motherhood. What Women Fear addresses different areas of fear in our lives and the doubts that crop up […]
There’s a Pup About the House
What does it mean? When you have…. shoes piled high on the shoe rack, keeping as many up off the floor as possible… the bottom rungs of the drying rack, empty, no clothes hung there to dry, and pieces of string and material strung across the floor… the doors to the office and bathroom tightly […]
Rugs and Stuff {Hello Monday}
New week. New photos and happenings from life last week. Even though many of the things we do are the same everyday-ordinary-livinglife-kind-of-things. So Hello Monday! Hello to some things we did! We made donuts. We made bread. We made half of a recipe at the beginning of the week and made a whole recipe at […]
Cheddar Chowder
We’ve had soup several times in the last month. Cold weather means soup. I’m pretty prone to think that a simmering pot of soup, on a cold winter day, is very hard to beat. I made Cheddar Chowder last week and snapped a few photos as I prepared it for lunch. We eat cheddar chowder […]
A Fountain
I have times when I’m quiet and I have times when I talk a lot. It depends on my mood. It depends on if I’m in a large group or with a small group of close friends. Sometimes I feel like talking, sometimes I don’t. There are times I wish I had words or the […]
Ups and Downs {Hello Monday}
It’s Hello Monday time! Hello to a pickup that has a transmission overheating. Hello to a crashing school laptop. Hello to hot dogs roasted in the stove. Hello to staying home with all the snow outside. And hello to getting out to go to an appointment for a massage and to clean the doctors’ office. […]
Herbed Oatmeal Pan Bread
I typed up a quick post about the March flexi-of-the-month last night and scheduled it to post early this morning. I wanted to share a recipe today, so I’m sitting down to get it posted. Herbed Oatmeal Pan Bread. The name alone makes it sound yummy. A friend and neighbor shared this recipe with me […]
Lilla Rose March Flexi of the Month
The flexi clip for the month of March has arrived! If you like green or emerald, then you will be all about this clip. I would probably place the color green under several other colors when listing my favorites, but I think this flexi is very eye-catching. Last month the flexi of the month […]
Moments That Matter
Do you ever have those {selfish} moments when the people in your life just get on your nerves? Of course you do, or you wouldn’t be real. Now that we have that clarified, we can move on. When my daughter was less than a year old, I was at a gathering of a few young […]
So, This Afternoon I Made Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread
I like to bake. Unfortunately sometimes. Maybe I would be skinny if I didn’t. Oh well, isn’t there a saying, “Never trust a skinny cook?” 🙂 Cold weather and snow somehow just says baking weather, don’t you think? I do. I flipped through recipes this morning, that I’ve printed out from here and there on […]
A Winter Week
Hello Monday and Hello Winter! Some bits and pieces of our week last week…….. We finished up the siding! We had a visit from this darling! We took pictures of some Lilla Rose clips. We had winter show up with full force. My brother started working for the county in December, so he got to […]
