I clicked over to Pinterest a few weeks ago to browse for a bit. Pinterest has started doing that whole picked-for-you bit and selecting pins for your feed. I hadn’t paid that much attention and probably really wouldn’t have realized they were doing this, except a few days earlier I had read a sarcastic humor comment […]
Soft Hands For Spring! Mary Kay Satin Hands Set Giveaway
Good Morning! I’m giving away a favorite of mine today. I really wanted to do it earlier, more of a winter-take-care-of-your-hands, but it didn’t happen. Instead, we’ll celebrate soft hands for spring and an Easter week giveaway. One of my friends gave me a Satin Hands Set for my birthday a whole bunch of years […]
Memoir Monday {No. 65}
Photo evidence of events of the week… Tucker’s tree blooming! Getting familiar with sprayer and settings and lots of details to figure out. All above my head. I just took pictures. Two cuddly puppies. The big one was mine when I was young. I fell in love with his droopy eyes and bought him with […]
Spring and Easter Decor
I was starting to feel like winter was running a bit long, even though it was only the beginning of March. Just that longing for sunshine and spring and birds chirping and green shoots shooting up. And while I’d enjoyed my touches of Valentine and red, February had zipped past, taking Valentine’s Day with it. […]
When Cookie Dough and a Kitchen Aid Mixer Catch Your Eye, This is What You Get
I walked away from my mixer. Not always the smartest thing for a cook to do. But then I’m far from the smartest. Fact is, I’m pretty simple. I knew that my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe was a big one. I knew it filled the mixer up pretty good. But the dough needed to […]
Memoir Monday {No. 64}
Last week….. We put on fertilizer …. Wow. A lot happened last week and it seems like a long time ago already. We baked cookies. We made Easter/spring cupcakes that I hope to give their own blogpost… We burnt candles. I’ve felt blessed to have the cozy flickering of candles on many days through the winter […]
Hauling Hopper Bin Bottoms
Once again the days are moving along and the mile long list of winter time projects has been shortened a bit, but never as much as my husband would like it to be. I try to comfort him with the fact of, we-wouldn’t-want-to-run-out-of-things-to-do, but he never bites on that very well. I also argue that this-is-life and […]
Thankful That the Bible Meets Me in Real Life {Five Minute Friday}
Life is real, Life is earnest, And the grave is not its goal, Dust thou art to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow {Find all the eloquent words here ~} REAL. The writing prompt for this Five Minute Friday. The verse above was one of the first things to pop […]
A Very Disjointed Blog Post About Words and Manners and Wastebaskets
Words interest me. There are old terminologies that make me laugh. There are lots of words that are way over my head. There’s something that I think we all have in common and that would be an appreciation of kind words spoken to us or about us. I’ve heard and read stories of the opposite. People can […]
Quick and Simple: Detailing a Chocolate Bunny
Quick and Simple. That’s what the title says. That’s what it means. No rocket science here. But, if you’ve visited before, you already knew that! Want to add a fun touch to a chocolate bunny? A simple and super easy one? YOU WILL NEED: at least one chocolate bunny {or a dozen or two or […]
Putting On Fertilizer
Nice weather. Sunny weather. It means work while the sun shines. It means head to the fields and do what needs done. It means spring is coming. Will the rain? It means time to put on fertilizer. It means errand time and food delivery for this farm wife. It means grabbing my camera and *happy* […]
Memoir Monday {No. 63}
Nice weather and go-kart rides ~ go-kart hadn’t been out for a while. I rather forget we have it. It has some issues and doesn’t always run the best. Farmer man keeps talking about getting rid of it. See? Not running the best… Fun farmy picture~ Renae getting better….so glad! Flowers from Grandma for a […]
Just Some Thoughts on a Saturday Night
I’ve been more pain free this last week, than I’ve been in a long time. I am beyond thankful. AND we had nice weather, so I’ve been walking again some. Another thing I’m thankful for. AND I even jogged a little bit when I took a walk on Friday. This is monumental for me. Even two […]
A Box of Sunshine
Renae has been sick. She’s had the sinus/cough/sore throat/headache crud. She’s not done much of anything for about a week, and that’s not her at all. I’m ready to have my girl-that-feels-good back. She’s ready to feel better, too. Being sick isn’t fun, but it does always make you appreciate feeling well! One of Renae’s […]
Birthdays 2015
Birthday celebrations and birthday memories! No all-out shin-digs or parties, but special lunches and celebrating that our kiddos were born! I love birthday parties and birthday bashes, but I’m not always up to the effort of anything too big. Even if I don’t always throw the parties that I’d like to in my mind, we […]
Memoir Monday {No. 62}
We tried out a fun new recipe that my sister shared on her blog. Garlic Cheese Biscuits baked in a cast iron skillet. It was fun to try and yummy to eat! Make your own lunch. Because if Dad is busy for the day, Mom doesn’t worry a whole lot about lunch. #Gratitude for kids […]
