Crunchy Slaw – A Perfect Picnic Recipe
I’m not a fan of traditional cole slaw. That’s putting it nicely, in all actuality I HATE cole slaw. And I really don’t use the “H” word for very many foods. But crunchy slaw is decidedly NOT traditional slaw. It’s more like a salad with a bit of crunch. It’s a perfect dish to take...

A New Babe in the Neighborhood
Last week a mother deer bedded down in our backyard and gave birth to twins! We missed the actual birth, but saw the fawns moments after, wobbling around the backyard.

Simple Sewing Project ~ Sweet Baby Bibs
I have mentioned this before…I’m a pretty new seamstress. I can do straight lines, and I have finally taught myself how to thread the machine and change the bobbin. I could probably become more accomplished at sewing if I put my mind to it, but for now, straight lines are my life. Well, maybe straight...
