Altered Clipboards
Last year for Christmas I made these altered clipboards for my best friend and my sister-in-law. I love how they turned out! I saw the paper again at Hobby Lobby the other day, so I think I may make one for myself this year!
I had so much fun making these last year that I […]
Christmas Cards
This is the Christmas card that I made to add to the silent auction basket at school. I made 10 of them with matching envelopes.
This is the inside of the card. These were super easy and fast to make. Which was a good thing, because I waited until the last minute to make […]

Christmas notbook
For our school’s fall carnival a few weeks ago, I made some Christmas items to add to a basket for the silent auction. I covered a steno pad with card stock to make a cute little notebook. These really don’t take that long to make- especially when I read the directions! But like normal, […]

My kids are like most kids and that they don’t like to eat a wide variety of veggies. So I’m getting pretty good at sneaky some into the foods they normally eat. Right now my favorite to add is sauteed onions, garlic, and eggplant. I add it to anything with a tomato based […]

This is another good pantry meal. I normally have everything on hand to make it! Which is so nice because I can’t seem to get this menu planning business down! But that’s another story…
2 chicken breasts, cooked and cut up into bit sized pieces
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1Tbsp minced garlic (I think everything is better with […]
Science Fair Projects
It’s science fair time around here. Last year my son was the grand champion of the 2nd and 3rd grade at his school, so he’s under some pressure! But I tell him to just have fun with it!
This year he is testing the growth of lima bean seeds in contaminated soil. He […]
Freezing Layered Casseroles
I really like to double the recipe when I’m making casseroles. Or sometimes I make a single recipe of a casserole that makes a 9×13 and place it in 2 8×8 pans. Then we have one for that night and another one for a later date. When it’s something like Chicken Spaghetti, […]

Halloween Treat
This week my oldest daughter decided that she wanted to give her teachers a treat for Halloween. She did at least give me a couple of days notice- that’s better than last year. Anyways, I found these cute Peppermint Pattie spiders at www.splitcoaststampers.com. They are super easy to make and I think really cute!
Saving Money
I just came back from the grocery store and I’m excited!! At least I was until I walked in the house and saw that the dog had gotten into the trash!! but that’s another story.
I’m really trying to match coupons with sale prices at the stores. So I was very excited to see so many […]
