KitKat had her 12th birthday party last night. Four of her friends came over for pizza, lots of junk food (including midnight s’mores that I joined them for), cake & ice cream, and oodles of giggles. Two of the girls stayed over for the night. It’s a wonder I’m alive today. I haven’t heard so…
Check out this BOKEH!
Don’t know what bokeh is? Don’t worry, neither did I….until I did a little research. As most of you know, I am a self-taught photographer. I love to take pictures, but up to this past year, I knew next to nothing about the technical aspects of photography. I had a semi-fancy camera but kept it…
CRAZY? ….Or genius?
I was thinking about what I should blog about today…..The fact that I can hardly keep my eyes open today because I keep staying up WAY TOO LATE? Or maybe I could document my trip to Costco with my friend, Safire, and the fun I had wearing one of her twins in a baby wrap…
Menu change! A perfect way to use Thanksgiving left-overs!
I thought I’d pass on the yummy idea I had for a change in my weekly menu. Instead of making tacos yesterday, I made Shepherd’s Pie. I tried a variation of a new recipe. I alter a lot of my recipes. :) I’ll give you my version because it was SO easy and a huge…
Are they REALLY giving away a sleep number bed??
The ladies over at 5 Minutes for Mom are giving away a FREE Queen size SLEEP NUMBER bed, worth $1899. I’ve never seen a blog give-away quite so generous. I thought it was worth sharing. :) Click on the bed for the contest! PB and I started out many years ago with a VERY FIRM…
Come What May, and LOVE IT!
These notes are in honor of a great man, Joseph B Wirthlin, who passed away in his sleep on Monday night at the age of 91. I got a call last night form his granddaughter, a good friend of mine, and immediately thought of his talk from last October’s General Conference of the Church of…
Our Nativity Collection
There’s nothing like letting 5 kids loose on 4 bins packed with exciting things they haven’t seen for a full year. Add to that thousands of messy pine needles all over the carpet (I swear they are ALL over the house!) and all of the poorly-placed ornaments that ended up on the ground over night…
The quest for the perfect tree
We bundled up last night after dinner, packed everyone in the van and drove to our favorite neighborhood Christmas tree lot: I’m not joking. It’s our tradition. We get our tree here every year. PB is a fresh-tree stickler. One year, some friends invited us to go tree shopping with them to a quaint little…
Monday Menu Planning
I was actually excited this morning to get up and plan my meals for the week. It took me all of 3 minutes to decide what we’d be eating this week. We are still swimming in turkey left-overs, so I two of my recipes will be using turkey. The rest of the turkey is going…
I made it!
I forgot until I read my friend, Safire’s blog post that today is the last day of November. My month of Nablopomo and the daily blog posts has come to an end. Except that blogging daily has become such a welcome habit that I am not ready to stop. I am planning on sticking with…
