On thatΒ shopping trip Dr. visit trip with my daughter Sam last Tuesday, I found a few fantastic vintage pieces…
Just look at them…
Who remembers their Mom using her Tupperware measuring pitchers? Β I do! Read more
This picture and its saying are fantastic – a little sassy, but fantastic!
To all my fellow auto-immune disease sufferers – I say: Β Let’s raise a glass of water and toast ourselves – and to those who don’t understand and don’t want to try to understand – to heck with you!
We may take longer to do some things (work, rest, work again)…we may be more tired and achy… Read more
See this cute little hanging extender?
Well, I made it last week while Elena was here.
I love the little Hummingbird feeder, but it hung just way too high – we couldn’t see the little hummers feeding!
So off I went to find wire and my needle nose pliers.
Grab an end and twist…the other end and twist…
And Wha-laaaaaa!
It took all of 10 seconds.
I was so proud of myself!
I very loudly pronounced “I’M SO CRAFTY!”
Elena cocked her little head, looked at me and said “You’re so cwabby?”
I replied…”NO, NO, NOOOOOO”…”I’m so crafffffttttttyyyyy”.
She looked up at me again and said “Oh”.
And went off to play some more.
{sigh}
So much for my big proud moment…
It turned into a silly, giggle moment.
That’s ok, those are much more fun anyway!
I hope you have a good giggle today!

ps…Now that I look at it in the picture, I really could make it so much better…I might have to get craftier (not cwabbier). π
and the Dad, the Husband, and my Best Friend.
These are all terms to describe Timothy.
You’ve all read about the Math Teacher: Β Kudos to 20 Years of Teaching Math
He’s also a talented woodworker…yes, at times we call him “Tim the Toolman” although he’s much less accident prone than Tim Allen. Β He puts up with my brilliant hair-brained ideas…and calmly goes about building them. Β I have however, put my foot down…I’ve told him he can’t have a refrigerator and bathroom in his “shop”…because with three girls I may never see him again! Read more
Holy Yum.
Barbara passed this “secret” recipe (that she got off of Pinterest) with us yesterday.
Seriously the easiest and best dessert EVER.
Gabi graciously made it for us last night.
Here you go:
1 Angel Food Cake Mix (the one step kind not the two step)
1 20 oz. can of Crushed Pineapple
Mix in a large bowl as it will look like it’s blowing up…it’s like a GREAT science experiment!
Let it settle a little. Β Pour into a greased 9×13 pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Easy peasy.
Serve with a dollup of Cool Whip on the top!
Yes, this is the picture of my piece tonight…
And yes, there is a bite out of it! π
Have a great day!
