Yay me!!!

With summer on it’s way and the hope of some extra time on my hands, I made a few little goals for myself.  I wanted to finally learn broomstick lace.  And I did!  That has been a longstanding goal.  I can’t even estimate how many years.  I wanted to clean out the cupboards in the kitchen.  [...]

It’s nice out there :)

I love this time of year. First of all, school is coming to an end. That means we survived another school year. Maybe not gracefully, but we made it to the end and that has to count for something. The weather is usually very nice. It is warm and sunny but not the punishing heat [...]

This month I am sharing a recipe that is a favorite around here. We use it for breakfast and sometimes dinners too. I make this in my biggest (rectangular) casserole dish. We always clear out the entire dish and the boys are still looking for more. Hopefully your family will love it just as much [...]
