Here’a a quick favorite recipe of ours that offers almost instant gratification. They are called No Bakes and are from my mother-in-law, Kriss. (The master baker/cooker of the family.) This is a fun recipe to have the young ones help out with, especially at...

My apologies on not having a Movie Monday up today. Our camera was at the repair shop and I ditched town in the meantime. I am spending time with my family and enjoying every moment of it. I hope you all have a lovely Thanksgiving holiday full of people you love...

I can’t believe I made you a wait a whole week to learn more about knitting! Actually I wanted to make the knit stitch video on Wednesday last week, but Tony said there was no such thing as a “Movie Wednesday.” Party pooper. So here, FINALLY, is...

It’s getting crafty around here! Tuesday night I had a group of young girls over to learn some new crafts. To prep for our first meeting, I had to dye some wool. Turned out to be very easy. A little boiling water, some white wool, and Rit Dye. The girls and...

So this is a bit of a wildcard Movie Monday. In case you are ever lost in the woods and need to survive on wild animals, I thought I would show you how to skin a pheasant. Actually, think of all the women in our past that thought nothing of skinning a chicken or...

We love books. Actually I really think Elias does like books, but I’m probably the bigger culprit at this point. I love going to the library and picking out books for us to read together. He understands turning pages, and I think he enjoys the pictures. Do...

Today I made a toy for a little one. I’m so at that stage in my life of babies, babies, babies. Hopefully you don’t mind too much. I wanted to make something with that crackly stuff in it. I asked around and everyone said that the only crackly material...
