Date Night

I am going on a date with my husband! To some of you this might not sound like a big deal, but to me, it is like winning the lottery! We have been married for nearly 16 years; we have 3 kids and NO LIFE! Which also equals no romance. A date at our house […]

Sopapilla Cheesecake

The other day Teal posted a yummy good-for-you dessert recipe. Well I thought I’d do the opposite and post a yummy not-so-good-for-you dessert recipe. I got this recipe from some friends in my Sunday School class. At every get together they are “required” to bring this!!
2 packages of cream cheese, room temperature
1 […]

A Father’s Love

If you haven’t seen this video yet, you need to. It shows a father’s love for his son beautifully. I cry everytime I think of it. It also reminds me of my Heavenly Father’s love for me and what He does for me everyday. He carries me, pushes me, pulls me- […]

Saving Money

Well I’m trying to be a better steward of our family’s money by using sale ads and cutting coupons.  But boy does that take a lot of work and time!  I dropped my youngest off at Mother’s Day Out today and went to Tom Thumb armed with all the grocery sale fliers and coupons.  Our […]

Pergola

I’m so proud of my husband he built this great pergola with the help of family and friends!  I was a little bit nervous about it at first- this will effect our house!  But he did an outstanding job!  Now he needs to add ceiling fans and lights and I new to add new furniture.  […]

Drying pans

I recently bought new muffin pans because my old ones were full of rust!  They were really yucky!  When I wash them in the dishwasher, they never seem to get completely dry.  So now I turn my oven on and stick the pans inside for about 5 minutes to completely dry.  I have done this […]

End Your Summer With A Chill

Back in June, I attempted to make Watermelon Ice. It didn’t turn out exactly as I thought it would and my taste buds were disappointed. No one else in the house really liked it either. It reminded me a lot of the Del Monte Fruit Chillers and wouldn’t you know…sitting in my […]

Need A Vacation?

We had a wonderful time fishing, building sandcastles and jumping waves at the beach. Morgan caught her first fish and I didn’t get a picture of it! My sister-in-law did, so hopefully she’ll send it to me. Madison learned how to bait her own hooks, which really impressed me. Kristen and […]

Western Omelet Crockpot Casserole

Of course this is not healthy, but it was super easy and we had almost everything on hand.
It was my first time to make this and the kids groaned when they heard it was a new recipe!
Everyone in the family ended up liking it.
I reduced the cooking time to about 3 hours on low and […]

SWAP Hat

So you can tell I’m in full blown Girl Scout mode. At least I’m trying to be. I’m obviously into denim.
Instead of using the fishing style hats for our troop, we used denim baseball caps. We had to add some bling, so we hot glued rhinestones around the rim.

Sit Upons

Sit Upons are a Girl Scout tradition. They’re typically made out of a plastic table cloth, but one of my friends found this site, Making Friends, that has instructions to make a denim sit upon. Now that’s more my style! We cheated and used duct tape instead of sewing! They’ve held […]

Cutting Warm Brownies

I am not a very patient person- yes I admit that!  And one of my pet peeves is cutting into warm brownies and making a big mess.  I even seem to make a big mess cutting into cool ones!  So needless to say I was very interested in trying a new helpful hint.  Are you […]

Third Day

No tears today!
I have to say that I’m so proud of Morgan for making it through her third day without any tears. What a relief!
So today is the day we’re headed down to the coast. I think everyone in our family is ready to get away from our day-to-day lives and just relax. […]
