It’s Friday! It’s also pouring down rain and as much as I love the rain (and I REALLY do), it’s not my friend most of the time. Makes my joints ache like a mother, and today unfortunately, was no exception. Luckily, my grandma taught me how to crochet when I was kid, and it’s come… Continue reading New Crochet Pattern!
I have SO much yarn. My house is like a cartoon right now, where you open a cabinet or closet door and an avalanche of junk comes tumbling out. I’m only slightly exaggerating, too. The other day when I came home with a handful of skeins of yarn, my hubs laughingly (but actually seriously) asked what the… Continue reading Crocheted Rainbow Quilt
Yesterday, I made what I can confidently say was the BEST.CHICKEN.DINNER.EVER. Holy smokes, I can’t even being to describe how delicious it was, but I guess I’ll try for the sake of this post. I mostly just want to write down the recipe before I forget it (brain fog, yay!!). I know for a… Continue reading Possibly my BEST recipe. EVER.
Ok guys. I’m smack dab in the middle of what started out as a really productive day. Got the girls up, dressed, lunches ready and in the car for camp all by 845 (and let me just pat myself on the back for that, because I suck at time management….and waking up on time in… Continue reading Stupid Fingers!!
We have officially passed the half way point of summer! It’s that magical time of year where massive heat waves, tired parents and cranky siblings who have been spending ENTIRELY too much time together (and therefore are annoyed by their counterparts breathing) tend to frantically look around for something – ANYTHING- to break the monotony. It’s about this time that we (or at least… Continue reading Summer Time Fun!
Alright, here we go again, ANOTHER new favorite recipe for me! I love all the food pages on Facebook lately, they’ve totally revamped my dinner menus. And the best part is that they’re all really simple recipes! This one I pulled off of a website called 12 Tomatoes, but in my typical fashion, I tweaked the… Continue reading Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce
This past week was spring break for the girls, and it just happened to be spring break for my best friends kids, too. That’s kind of how our lives have worked since we met ten years ago – I think the universe just wants us together. We’re military friends that have been to every single… Continue reading Camping
So I have my standard Alredo sauce recipe that I pulled off Pinterest, but when I say a standard recipe, I mean basic. Milk, heavy cream, cheese, that’s it. As I’m sure you can imagine, that’s not very flavorful! I mean, I’m all for creamy and cheesy, but I need a bit of POW in… Continue reading Creamy Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli and, of course, bacon
A few weeks ago, I decided to reteach myself how to crochet. When I was a kid, my grandma briefly showed me how, but she’s left handed, so everything she did seemed backwards to me. As a result, I never made it past the foundation row of any project. When my first daughter was born,… Continue reading Crocheted Slouchy Beanie
Hurry up and wait! It seems to be the recurring theme of my life. Any military family will tell you the same! It’s a life built on half promises, pseudo instructions, and fill in the blanks (with a correct answer you have to guess at – and oh yeah, there’s no study sheet. Have fun!) We… Continue reading Hurry up and wait!!
