Today it’s Chicken Crescents here on my blog! I get hungry for these every so often! I was thumbing through some favorite recipes to put together a menu for a supper with friends. When I landed on Chicken Crescents, Chicken Crescents it was! I made a favorite rice recipe to go with them. That recipe […]
Lego Themes Birthday
Legos are pretty much Tucker’s main thing. He builds and builds and builds some more. He kept rolling around ideas and debating what he wanted to do for his birthday cake this year. He finally settled on “Lego Themes”. He simply set up a board with figures from a variety of themes that Lego […]
Memoir Monday {No. 14}
So, it’s time to post a few February happenings so I can remember them! Icicles, snow and cold! February involved these. Some BIG icicles in some places! Dad found this one and brought it in for Tucker to see. Quite a sword! New doorlatch/handle going onto suburban. Not my mechanic’s favorite job ever. It […]
Little People {Five Minute Friday}
I remember picking up the magazine and leafing through it. When I saw them, I knew my daughter would love them and I knew what I wanted to put on her Christmas list. She wasn’t even three years old yet, but I knew. Fisher-Price Little People. I remembered playing with the little house and barn […]
Seven and Fourteen
At seven, we celebrated with ponies and pigtails. Friends came to share cake and play games. Jenna, {a doll, but a true and well loved friend} was often with my girlie. Seven years old. Seven years ago. The next seven will bring us to twenty-one. When I was twenty-one, my girlie who was seven, who […]
Chai Tea
We were at a friend’s house not so long ago. In the afternoon she mixed up and heated up and served us some delicious Chai Tea. I seriously doubt that if I was flipping through recipes that I would’ve landed on this recipe and decided to try it just from reading it. I love finding […]
Poured Out Like Wine
I thought this pitcher of grape juice looked so pretty. As I watched the juice pour in a stream into the pitcher the words of this song played into my mind and then fell from my lips in song…{although I couldn’t recall all the words. 🙂 } Would you be poured out like wine upon […]

How about some more comfort food? Cold weather, casseroles and cozy kitchen with the oven on! When I want something fairly quick to fix {who am I kidding? Isn’t that always what I’m after?} and something we all like, if I think about it, I will make this Mac and Cheese Casserole. It is my […]

Comfort food. Food you grow up with. There are some foods that fit in both categories. When I was a kid, my mom fixed tater-tot casserole and my sister and I loved it. Still do. Now, my daughter does. She didn’t used to, but she like a lot more foods as she’s getting older. This […]

The Changing of Decor
We put away our Christmas nativities and decorations for the most part, pretty quickly after we got back from Ohio. We still have a nativity set in the basement that Renae detailed and I just like it where it is and what she did with it. I also have a big nativity that has been […]

Linking up with Lisa-Jo for Five Minute Friday…. He does the hard stuff. He does the heavy stuff. He does so many things I wouldn’t want to do. And things I’m glad I don’t have to do. He knows how to weld and work on machinery and fix things. He sees things from angles I […]
