Weekend Wanderings

February 27, 2010

Considering we received about 19 inches of snow last March 30, I’d say there’s hope that we may still be able to make this fun Maple Syrup Snow Candy sometime this winter.
I’m pretty sure Phoebe’s Caramel Marshmallow Popcorn is the same or quite near the gooey recipe we enjoyed as kids.  Can’t wait to make [...]

Finer Things Friday: Out of the Blue

February 25, 2010

When the phone rang this morning, I answered, even though I didn’t recognize the number and only vaguely recalled the last name.
It was my cousin! (with her fairly new married name)  That may mean little to you, but I come from a big extended family.  My mom is the 3rd of 10 kids, and there [...]

Swagbucks Birthday Celebration

February 25, 2010

Happy second birthday, Swagbucks! If you know me at all, you know I love my Swagbucks search engine and toolbar.  With it, I have earned enough bucks to help pay for Christmas, indulge in Starbucks when we’re in the city, and I’ve stashed some away to surprise my hubby with a big (to us) gift [...]

Healthy Sleep Habits

February 23, 2010

Following is a guest post from Catherine.  It’s making me sleepy.  Very, very sleepy…
——————————

What is one thing we can never get enough of but when we do, we crave even more?  It can make or break our day.  For years we gave it away freely, then the moment we became mothers we wished we could [...]

Menu Plan, Week of February 21

February 21, 2010

I’m in denial. One week from tomorrow I’m supposed to do my first ever major, full-blown Once a Month Cooking day.  I don’t have all of my groceries.  I haven’t studied and altered my instructions (we’ve changed the menu a bit).  I’m not ready! So glad Sherry is coming to help me with this.  [...]

Weekend Wanderings

February 20, 2010

“Generations of women have been raised without the basic knowledge or understanding of how to run a home smoothly or do basic and simple tasks found in homemaking.”  I think I see this more and more.  Enjoy this free lesson sampler from The Homemaker’s Mentor.
Valentine’s Day is over, but this advice from Stephanie [...]
