Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Good morning everyone! It has been for- EV- UH! I wish I could post more 🙁 I have been working 50-60 hours per week between substitute teaching and photography while the hubby looks for a new job. The cleaning and cooking still need done… so the blog was put on the back burner. Currently, I …
On the home front is this super sweet family session from last week. I love the nearby park and taking photos where families with small children that only need to drive 5 minutes away. It’s so hard with small children especially in the evening! These are some of my favorites… Recipe: If you are …

Book: I finished the 750 pages of “Alexander Hamilton” by Ron Chernow. I loved it so much I now have his new book “Washington” as well which is 800 pages! But it goes by quickly and written so well that the length is really no bother. Chernow found 50 new essays that had not been …
Happy Sunday! Recipes! There were over 200,000 Instant Pots sold on Amazon on Prime Day. I have been posting about it since I received mine this winter and thought I would compile. Use these recipes as guides. The shredded chicken can be used with BBQ sauce, salsa or just plain to freeze for …
I hope you had a fabulous weekend! We had a lot of fun in the backyard this weekend with the cooler tempetures. It was so much fun to watch the kids catch fireflies outside in the woods in the backyard. Here are a couple of photos I took last week of the kids trying to …
