The Pioneer Woman’s Cinnamon Rolls

Waiting for Connor

I recently purchased “The Pioneer Woman Cooks” to have something to read while I waited to pick Connor up from school.   Or it may have been because I didn’t have any cash in my wallet and I didn’t want to pull out my check card for one doughnut.  After today’s experiences, I’m beginning to think [Read On]

Are you like me? Do you pin stuff to your boards on Pinterest with every intent on completing that DIY project, only to get distracted with life? The pin just sits there, mocking you. It pops back up every now and then and you either re-pin it or remind yourself to get to it soon. [Read On]

Preschool trauma and moving drama

Gizmo- praying that our house will sell so the strangers will stop bothering him

(pictured is Gizmo- sitting in one of Hubby’s shoe cubbies in the custom shelves he built in our closet) We decided it was time for DD to start preschool- we had considered sending her to a private daycare and me working full time, but the math didn’t work out where it made sense- I would [Read On]

Barefoot on the beach Part 2: Finding vendors

This photo by Kay Scott turned out beautifully -- even though we thought we were going to sink in this little boat!

Planning a wedding thousands of miles away in Belize proved challenging, to say the least.   While I could have opted to hire a wedding coordinator, I chose to save money and do the work myself, knowing there wasn’t much I required.   What we needed was a location, a minister, a license and a [Read On]

DIY Expand your book shelves

These 8-inch-wide shelves are perfect for paperbacks. I love that the shelves take advantage of dead space on the wall.

When we moved into our new house, my bookshelves didn’t work like they had in the old house. The one that had been custom-made for our upstairs hallway only fit on one wall in my daughter’s room. That meant I had roughly 100 books without a home. That simply wouldn’t do.   But I wasn’t [Read On]

DIY: Raised garden beds in an hour

My first garden bed is now home to four pepper plants, and a variety of seeds.

Did it HERself, in fact. And I feel very proud of myself. The husband has been traveling a lot lately for work. We’ve recently moved into a new house, and yes, there’s a lot to do. I was determined to put in a garden this year. During one of our over-the-fence chats, my neighbor asked [Read On]

Hanging out with the girls requires some good food. During our recent Spa Day, we spent the first 2 hours around my buffet table chatting. Spa Day is a great opportuntity to catch each other up on what’s going on in our lives. We hit on both the high and low points, the small and [Read On]
