Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
I purchased a new item at Fresh Thyme Grocery store last month from Cook Simple Meals. It was Tamale Pie and one of the best ones I have ever made. I couldn’t get enough of it! In addition, it was so simple to make even my 8 year old could throw it together based …
Firstly, I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. No, I am not blogging on Christmas morning 🙂 These blog posts are usually written and then scheduled for the morning. Some of us are busy. Some of us may finally have the time to sit and read a blog post instead of …
Book: No books! Just running lights and baking cookies this week. 🙂 The kids and I are reading the Harry Potter series, so I won’t bore you with those reviews. Photography: I have started to update my photography business cards and websites. The youngest is going to school in August, so I thought I …
Book: Book Club this month picked “Matched” by Ally Condie and is really good. If you like “The Giver” by Lois Lowry, then you will probably like this book. It is another Young Adult Literature Dystopia novel following a young girl named Cassia. Recipe: If you need yet another apple recipe, this is it. A great fall …

Books: For fiction, I am reading “Navigating Early” by Clare Vanderpool. It is a Mark Twain nominee and she is the author of a Newberry Award winning novel as well. So far enjoying the plot immensely. It is about a young Kansas boy who has been uprooted and sent to Maine for boarding school. He …
Book: Still reading “When to Rob a Bank” and having to explain each time that I’m not really going to rob a bank! And the one small chapter about robbing banks basically is that there is no good day to rob a bank (duh) and that there is a way to do it. But most …
I hope everyone had a fabulous Fourth of July! What I learned this week: -Aldi has wild caught salmon for $3.99 per bag of 4 filets. Sounded awesome… and WAY cheaper than Costco. Then….. I read that it is a product of China. -Watermelon is a fruit AND a vegetable! These fruit/vegetable debates are about …
