What do you think of when you hear the word Thanksgiving? Do you excitedly dream of a wonderful meal surrounded by family and friends gathered around the table, sharing the blessings of life? Voices in loud conversations and energetic discussions about everything from school to church with many stops in between. Maybe your children were in a pageant at school with little pilgrims… Read More
Are you a fan of Sesame Street? Do your kids watch or is that too old fashioned these days? The show is about 45 years old, but I have to admit that I never watched it growing up. There was little tv watching in our home (on our old black and white tv and yes I’m that old!) But everybody… Read More
Simply stated, I love fall! I adore everything about it, from the lower temps to the warm fuzzy sweaters! When the weather turns just a hair cooler I’m all over soup recipes, snuggling with a cuddly blanket and nesting for winter.

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. I am a Girl Scout drop out. Yes, I confess. I couldn’t handle the pressure. I was the cutest little brownie you’d ever seen, though. Pig tails, big ol’ glasses and saddle shoes. Yet somehow when I graduated to girl scouts there… Read More
Sensational recipe for easy homemade Strawberry Ice Cream, perfect for a hot summer’s day spent with family and friends. This recipe is a keeper! My dad was a salesman. He sold cars, RVs, hardware (and not the computer kind) among other things. He worked a lot of evenings and Saturdays to provide for our family. In spite of those long… Read More
This past September my DIY hubby graduated from Liberty University with a Bachelor of Science in Religion. It was a very long and winding road to get to this point in his life at the age of 52, but I couldn’t be prouder. All the details and fun graduation party ideas for graduates of all ages can be found here…. Read More
