The Herb Centerpiece
I don't know about you, but we love to eat outside whenever the weather permits us to. We eat Saturday breakfasts, picnic lunches, bbq dinners, even regular spring/summer/fall dinners out back. We love to be outside at ever chance we get. Two years ago, we picked up...
Hard-Boiled Eggs
Life has been so crazy the last couple of weeks with my husband traveling, me being sick, kids sick, grandfather passing, and etc. Hopefully life will slow down for a moment so that I can catch my breathe. Something that calms my mind when life gets hectic is simple...
I Lived!
Two weeks ago, my grandfather passed away. He was a good man. I have such wonderful memories of him and his love for me. I miss him, but am happy he can now move on with his eternal progression. Before his passing, my cousin was inspired to collect all of my grandpa's...

Fun & Refreshing

My little Preschooler has begun making letters out of sticks he finds outside. He picked up two sticks last week and said, "Hey Mom, look I can make a T." I then showed him he could also make an X, L and V with only two sticks. A couple of days later, we did a stick...
