Snow…And More Snow! #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
I have a confession. I got home from my youngest son’s Blue and Gold banquet about 2 1/2 hours ago, and the goal was to come straight up to my computer to get this post ready. But I have become completely distracted by a photo of a dress that most of you have probably…
Movies Set in Ireland For St. Patrick’s Day
My family and I love finding movies to help celebrate the holidays, but until this year we had never looked up any movies for St. Patrick’s Day. I grew up watching movies like Darby O’Gill and the Little People, but now that I’ve got teens and tweens in the house I thought it would…
Soothing Oatmeal Citrus Shea Butter Soap
I’ve been thinking about making my own soap now for a while, and this past weekend I finally got around to doing it. I took the easy route and used a shea butter soap base, so all of the trickier steps of making DIY soap with lye was done for me. I just got to…
Easy Tex-Mex Vegetable Soup
I love a good challenge, especially when food is involved. This month, I was challenged to come up with a recipe or fun way to use Libby’s NEW Vegetable Cups, and I have to admit….I surprised even myself. My whole family couldn’t get enough of the Tex-Mex Vegetable Soup that I made! Although this…

Barron and was inspired by his upcoming gift book “The Wisdom of Merlin: 7 Magical Words for a Meaningful Life.” This book is the wizard Merlin’s answer to the question “What is the meaning of life?” Surprisingly, the answer has only seven words — including belief….
DIY Easy Mint Sugar Scrub {+ Printable Labels}
Whether it’s cold and dry where you are…or it’s hot and sandy…I don’t know many hands and feet (and elbows and knees) that couldn’t benefit from a little sugar scrub. There are so many awesome scented beauty products out there, but I’ve been discovering lately how much I love to make my own homemade…
McFarland, USA Review and Fun Facts
Earlier this week, my family and I had the opportunity to attend an early screening of the new Disney movie, McFarland, USA. I love finding movies that are entertaining and engaging for our whole clan – from 9 to 43 and lots of ages in between. Although we saw the movie for free, all…
This Week on Instagram: #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
This week has not been one of my favorites. It’s cold. COLD. We lost power and ran out of milk and fuel for our kerosene heater. (PS – that’s an Amazon affiliate link to the heater we’ve got because I’ve discovered that tons of people don’t know what I’m talking about when I refer…
Light Applesauce Blueberry Muffins
Despite the fact that I’m eating much better lately, I still do have a sweet tooth and a strange desire to bake. Call it kitchen therapy. The act of stirring ingredients, experimenting with different flavors, and smelling my homemade treats heating up in the oven relaxes me and makes me happy unlike anything else….
