Even though it’s the week of Valentine’s Day, am I the only one who is beyond ready for Spring? I saw 2-packs of white flour sack dish towels at Walmart recently for under $2 so I picked up a few thinking I would paint some for my kitchen. I am so ready for flowers, and

We are getting quite an arctic blast right now in the Pacific Northwest. Days of 20-22 degree weather (much lower actual windchill) the kids love it, I am wearing fuzzy socks and a comfy sweatshirt. Watching the snow pile up and feeling so cozy and glad to be home and warm. We are eating slow

You might remember when I was here back in September that I shared my glittery dollar store cookie Halloween ornaments, and I even glittered a chocolate
When I watched my Grandma Edith make cookies for the first time, I knew I was hooked. We are Swedes, ok Grandma was a full-blooded Swede, and myself a mere .25. Our family tree on my Mom’s side kind looks like it was doing great, chugging along back a few generations, then on one side
We seem to go through pillows, or pillow covers quickly. For me it is more of an evolution of an admitted pillow addiction. But for the kids, it is survival of the fittest. Especially pillows that are destined (or have the unfortunate luck) to end up in our playroom. I love our playroom. I
This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Cottonelle but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #CtnlCareRoutine http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO Most of you know that my kids range in age from little guys to my eldest (who made me a Grandma almost four months ago) which makes for

Did you know that the blueberry muffin is the official state muffin of Minnesota? I lived there for two years, and did not know that. It appears that our love affair with the small cake aka muffin as we know it, is first recorded in 1703 spelled Moofin (“I would like a MOOFIN with my
Howdy friends! I know many of us are fa-reez-ing right now and I thought I would share my version of this popular slow cooker soup recipe, and maybe make the cold a little easier. I am still doing lots of little tweaks (oh the plug-ins, I am officially hooked!) to our new WordPress platform, but
