So I’m still working on the house, it’s never ending I tell ya! I’m just doing little touch-ups and finally adding stuff to our bare walls. It is finally looking and feeling like home. Since Christmas I have either painted or repainted 7 of our 9 rooms. With that comes a lot of little touch-ups. So one day I decided to… Keep Reading
So I officially started a diet. Spring weather has already hit here in New Hampshire and I have no clothes that fit other then my black yoga pants. Plus with my belly still being swollen from surgery I am at even more of a loss for clothes that fit. So a diet I will start! For breakfast I like to… Keep Reading
You all know my love for canning jars by now, so it is probably not much of a surprise that I came up with another use for our beloved canning jars. A few years ago we started using canning jars as our regular everyday drinking glasses. They are strong, hold up well and we always have a ton of them… Keep Reading
We spend a lot of time blowing bubbles in this house, so in turn we make a lot of messes with bubble solution.

Valentine’s Day morning started early with two little girls sharing a cupcake on the kitchen floor. This momma was a bit mad, but look at how happy this little munchkin was to get her first tastes of a chocolate cupcake. I quickly decided to get those cupcakes frosted and out of the reach of little hands. So while my little… Keep Reading
We decided to make everyone little “give thanks” cards. I printed out a picture of our family and taped them onto white card stock. Then I let my son add the extras. I gave him the choice to use whatever he wanted. He used my tape, scissors, glue, stapler, and hole puncher. He loved being able to use mommas goodies… Keep Reading
Now that gardening season has arrived, so hasn’t the time to fill up our freezer with all our extra goodies from the garden. First up rhubarb. It is not my favorite thing, but nonetheless its growing and I’m determined not to waste anything (or hardly anything) this year. That is a small feat with a garden the size of ours!… Keep Reading
