A Very Good Place to Start

I’ve always dreamed of a fixer-upper, of a place I could rebuild as I could afford it. Truthfully, I envisioned an old farm house. Definitely not a mobile home.  But God knows exactly what we need. And, who knows, maybe that old farmhouse is still in my future. It’d be a good place to write a book.  I’m not gonna lie, I’m kinda proud of the fact that my first book was written in a [...]

Summers are for...cousins!

Summers are for…mud!           Summers are for…candy!   Summers are for…hammocks!   Summers are for…quick naps wherever you can get ‘em.   Summers are for…s’mores!   Summers are for…late nights.   Summers are for…slumber parties!   Summers are for…video games!

Pumpkins and Other Squash

Saturday was a theme day. Not many days around here have a theme, unless “mayhem” counts. But it was cold and wet and called for something a little extra. I’ve raised my kiddos to eat everything…well, to try everything. Still, they’ve all entered a picky phase that is about to drive me crazy. I think it’s backlash from all the pb and j on whole grain that I settled for this year. But I’m bringing [...]
