Cinnamon Waffles
Last summer my little brother, Mike was telling me he saw a post about making waffles out of Pillsbury cinnamon roll dough. Seriously, when I heard that I was amazed at such a fabulous idea. It was right up there with Pop-tarts! PS I love Pop-tarts! Later, he told me he’d tried it and they…

The Fabulous Flubber!
It’s that time again! Time for yet ANOTHER science experiment. Emma is required to do science experiments along with a presentation board several times a year. We’ve done some fun ones, like blowing up soap in the microwave and staying up all night watching the Blood Moon. She usually chooses what she wants to do…

The Best Muffins!
When I was in my early twenties, I was newly married and starting to have my children. It was the beginning of trying to figure out how to be a wife, mother, and still be able to work. I didn’t even know how to cook yet. I could make pasta, chicken, and rice and we…

Having a Blue Christmas…
I got the house decorated right after Thanksgiving weekend. I was thinking, if we sell our house this year, this could be the last year I ever decorate here for Christmas. If that’s the case I really wanted to have pictures. I’d like to have memories of all our Christmases here. I’ve taken photos before…

Cookies
Last weekend I wrote about all the little things I planned to do to start the creative vibes rolling for the holidays. One of the activities I wanted to do was to get into the kitchen and do some baking. I LOVE to bake and I don’t do it as much as I’d like to.…

Ok, so! I’m going to show you what I’ve decided to do this weekend to jump start my creative brain. My husband came home from work yesterday after reading my blog, and said he was afraid of what he’d find. Apparently, he feared I would be re-building my car engine or putting up a house…

Grass Cloth
Now that we are staying in our house, we’ve been talking about what we are going to do so we’re happier, and we can also add value to our home for a time in the near future when we do sell. One of the things that has really bothered me is the brown wall behind…

Did You Grow Up in a Barn?
Well, did you? Because if you did you may be familiar with leaving the barn door open! I’ve always loved that saying. It’s great for yelling at your kids when they don’t close the front door behind themselves. Personally, I would love to live in a barn, but that’s not what this post is about.…

Heart Strings
Today is the first day of Emma’s violin lessons! Ever since she saw Lettice Rowbothham audition for Britain’s Got Talent, she’s been obsessed with learning how to play the violin. I think it’s amazing when an artist can cross a generational line and bring new interest to a musical instrument. Personally, I’m very thankful! I’m thrilled…

Project- Candle Sticks
In getting our house ready for the market, I’ve had a lot of little projects going on. I’ve been painting objects to put in the house. One of my favorites was this set of candle sticks. I’m sure there will be at least one person who thinks I’m crazy for painting over dark wood, but…

How to Paint a Rounded Corner
I live in a home that’s walls have rounded corners. It has always been difficult to change colors from room to room with corners that are round. The problem lies in the fact that there is no straight edge in which to transition colors so I’m left with the challenge of either rubbing/blending the colors…
