Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
This Mother’s Day mom requested brunch with pancakes. So of course, we did! But not just any pancakes — pancakes with lots of toppings! We had strawberries, blueberries, maple syrup, sugar-free syrup, blueberry syrup, and last but not least….. Cinnamon Spread. This cinnamon spread is similar to what IHOP puts on their Cinnastack pancakes in …
Happy Spring Break!!! We just started spring break here and the kids are SOOOO excited! I was happy just to turn my alarms off this morning for the rest of the week! 🙂 My favorite alarm app is “Gentle Alarm” because it is very quiet and vibrates. The song gets louder and louder the longer …
Hello fellow bakers and crafters! It has been a while since we did a craft and today’s craft was made about a year ago. I am seeing my bakery sign now on TV and in catalogs like “Shades of Light” that I recently got in the mail, so I thought I would post how …
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 …

The book is divided into 52 biographies of women who had a strong influence on science. The influence was so strong …
Our book club book for the month is Same Kind of Different As Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together by Ron Hall. I haven’t started it yet, but I did pick up Marina Keegan’s book The Opposite of Loneliness during our Fall Festival at the …
This is a little off-topic… maybe considered “a craft”??? But hey, it took me nearly 20 years to figure this out and therefore I figure I better share it with everybody! During the winter, my feet get well… dry… flaky, cracked… really not pretty. After going through many products over the years, I finally found …
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 …
