Organizing with Jars

I have some odd collections.  I collect salt & pepper shakers, buttons, old glass beads, state quarters, and more.  One of my favorite things to collect are jars.  I love glass jars of all shapes and sizes.  I especially love the older jars.  I find them so useful for storage, organizing and for displaying items. ...

Menu Plan Monday ~ October 17

I am participating in Menu Plan Monday at orgjunkie.com, but unlike most of the other participants who plan their menus and post them that week, I’m always a bit behind, and I post my menus a week later. I do this so that I can let you know if I try a new recipe and...

The Old West Festival

The Old West Festival

Do you remember me telling you about the Old West Festival a while back?  I even had a set of tickets to share in a giveaway.  I was lucky enough to receive tickets to the festival for my family as well.  The folks behind the festival are so generous that way. I had read all of...

the pout

I snapped these pix when Max was a bit bummed.  I can’t remember what he was upset about (the other kids wouldn’t play tag with him?!?), but I just remember wanting to capture this perfect pout.  My sweet sweet Max, king of the perfect pout.  This pity party didn’t last very long, soon after I...
Fall Baking

Fall Baking

I love fall…the cooler weather, the falling leaves, cuddling under quilts, and perhaps soon a fire in the fireplace.  One of my favorite things to do in the cooler months is to bake.   Fall Baking makes the house smell so good and who does not love a warm baked good? Our house is hard to...

caged monkeys

I love this picture…such a conversation starter… Were Katie’s kids locked out of a party? Are Katie’s kids crashing a party? Are Katie’s kids part of some zoo exhibition? Is this what you should do with children who show up an “adult’s only” party? In all actuality, the kids did this to themselves.  We were...
