Domestic Ponderings
How hard would it be, really, to make flannel sheets myself? I really would love to have some, since our room is up in the attic and gets quite chilly at times. But flannel sheets for a king-size bed are around $60 which is completely out of my budget. I’ve been looking […]
Thanksgiving Pictures
Sweet bread cloverleaf rolls from the 1950 Betty Crocker Cookbook that belonged to Hubby’s grandmother. The girls had so much fun making the little doughballs.
Do you notice anything missing? Yeah, I left the cranberry sauce in the cupboard! It was yummy today with leftovers, though!
That’s hubby, doing his best Vanna impression
Oh, the bird […]
Prayers for the Holidays
There are a lot of people in my area who are going through Thanksgiving, wondering how they’re going to manage Christmas. With GM closing 9 plants, 4 of those in Michigan, we are going to get hit hard. It’s not just the plant closings, but I’d estimate at least half of all industry […]
Thanksgiving Shopping Done
Yes, I am a SHE. It’s two days before Thanksgiving and I just went shopping. I can’t believe I spent around $55 for ONE MEAL! Of course a few things will go longer than one meal, but still! And that’s just for the five of us. Hubby’s family is mostly […]
Sleeping Angel
For the first night in 3 nights, sleep! She’s been coughing all night Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday. I finally got her to the doctor today — pneumonia! She’ll be fine, she’s on antibiotics and expectorant. I gave her a little Benadryl tonight, since they want her to cough to get the gunk out and […]
No Brothers Allowed
This is the current sign on the Dds’ door. Dd5 made it, she was finally fed up with Ds2 coming in her room and cranking the CD player (yes, he’s just 2). I guess the AKA’s are unneccessary since their names are on the sign. But it was too cute not to post.
Oh, and […]
Another Christmas/Birthday Hint
OK, so my birthday isn’t for another six months, you can start saving! Mom, Hubby, et.al., these are so cool! I just love Mary Engelbreit. If someone came up with an ME blog template, I’d buy it in a FLASH! For now, I’ll settle for a Crock Pot.
Tea Blogging
Portsmouth Tea Company was offering a free cannister of tea for anyone who linked to them. The offer is over, but I thought I’d link anyway for friends and family (hint hint hint mom, hubby, and in-laws) who might still have Christmas shopping to do. I do love me a nice cuppa in […]
“Well, I may not be God’s gift to women, but I am God’s gift to you!”
After a rather, um, satisfying evening of Alone Time. Yeah, complete with rakish grin and cocky strut. Boy, am I one lucky gal!
Renovations!!!
(Warning: Long post with LOTS of pictures, may take a while to load)
Oh, we’ve been hit by the bug! Two and a half years in the house and we’re finally getting rolling on improvements. Hubby is building a family room in the basement, we’ve torn out all the wallpaper in the bathroom and I […]Making Cookies
This post is a week or so late, we made tried to make cookies for Halloween treat bags for our friends. They were supposed to be soft sugar cookies, but cookie novice that I am, they were terrible! When I tried to scoop them up off the counter they just wadded up and […]
My Beautiful Sister
Sis recently got a makeover at a posh salon in her new hometown, courtesy of a GREAT boss! She is so happy with this family (she’s a professional nanny), she has finally found a family who treats her with the respect and professional courtesy she deserves with 15 years experience. Anyway, wanted to […]
Haircut!
I promise, I won’t announce each and every haircut. But he went from Buster Brown to GI Joe, and it’s so stinkin’ cute!!!
