Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
**Update August 6, 2015: I have an update on still keeping off the weight and saving money from 2014-2015 and point #5 details what I changed since this post. ** The main goal of this post: Yes, you CAN lose the baby weight. And more importantly, you CAN keep it off. You CAN do it …
Book Update: I am still on the same book, but wanted to recommend to you “The Battle for Christmas” by Stephen Nissenbaum. It is a well-researched history of Christmas in America. It is not commercialized, it is not driven by religion or those that might distort the history of Christmas for their propaganda, and it …
Book Update: I finished Malcolm Gladwell’s David and Goliath yesterday. It was really good overall. I would recommend reading most of the chapters. One of them was a little sluggish… and his argument not supported well, but I found the some of the information very interesting. If you are interested in his books at all, …
My son and I made these during the “Fall party” in his Kindergarten class this year. It was really fun! I love crafts that are practical and can be made in different and creative ways. I try to steer clear of the “craft kits” – all the fake foam seems to end up in …
So, it’s been almost 7 years of children in the house. They really did a number on my seat cushions, but they weren’t destroyed or anything. Since the youngest is 3 years old, I thought it might be time to redo the cushions. Instead of buying a whole new dining set, of course. This was …

This is another one of the crafts we did at MOPS, and I wish I had brought my camera to show you all the cool ideas the ladies came up with. You could write any saying or use any drawing or simply use the plate even as a great way to remember a special day …
I had this inside-out reversible bag bookmarked for a long time, and I finally had the time after Christmas to make it after seeing it in the Thirty One Gifts catalog for $40 (It is larger in their catalog I think). Use it for books, a small diaper bag, a place to stash your accessories, …
I found this in the Family Fun Magazine website and pinned it, but when I went back to the link it was dead. So… here is how I made their craft from the photo I still have. I thought this would be fun to make and then fill with popcorn for the kids while we …
I feel like I should have tons of recipes this time of year and I have so little in my stash to blog about! Like most of us, I make the same staples each year including gingerbread men, fudge, shortbread, etc. that people expect and I throw in a new recipe every now and then. …
