Sometimes you really want cake but you really don’t need to make a whole cake. It happens to everyone. Make a Funfetti Cake In a Mug for a treat for one. Sometimes if I fight a sweet craving I start having dreams about it. I mean it, I have dreamt of dancing doughnuts a la…
Food can be a HUGE expense in a monthly budget. For a few weeks we lived in a hotel while my husband was doing his initial officer training. Although I tried to cook (think crock pot and electric skillet) it was way hard to do in a little hotel room so we ate out a…

In college I got to be a part of the International Folk Dance Ensemble at Brigham Young University. It was a big step outside of my comfort zone. I had always been an athlete and rarely a performer (I do play the flute) so trying out for a dance team was terrifying. I tried out once…
Create beautiful star accessories from colorful zippers. Great for recycling those old zippers!

There is still time to link up with the Merry Monday Link Party which I am guest hosting on. Come on over! We were visiting my in-laws a few weeks ago and had a fun family night where they pulled out old Halloween poems, songs, and stories. The kids had a blast and my…

I have always- and I mean ALWAYS- wanted to do a fun themed room. I always see all these beautiful bedrooms people have created and I want that for my kids. Now that my kids are a little older it seemed like a great time to give them a really fun space to be in….
We love to make paninis and grilled sandwiches at home. One of our favorite places to eat out at is Panera and they have some terrific sandwiches. But there are so many great versions to make at home and a perfect way to use up leftovers and odds and ends. I was trying to think…
Yesterday was my birthday and the day was spent as many other busy mothers can relate to. I had to get my daughter to school, come home and clean and prep for a fun weekend visiting my in-laws, then back off to go pick my daughter up from school, home for a quick lunch before…
Meatball sandwiches are always a popular dinner choice in my home. Every time I have one I am reminded of my college days when I would get home too late from class to eat in the cafeteria so I would head to the Subway right next door. I generally leaned to the meatball sub because…
If you don’t have a breadmaker and have ever wondered if it’s worth it I’m here to tell you it totally can be. The key to having one is the same as any other kitchen appliance- it’s worth it if you use it. I bought a used one off Craigslist and used it fairly often…
