Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
In my quest to become the perfect wife (*cough*) I have baked perfect loaves of bread, concocted fruit pies, and whipped real cream in to our favorite desserts. I must admit, though, that the simple chocolate chip cookie has alluded me. My cookies were always hard and crispy and, often, too thin. They were hardly […]
Room by Room Cleaning Schedule
This post is linked to Works for Me Wednesdays over at We Are That Family. As a part of my cleaning routine I like to tackle two rooms each morning. Doing two rooms each day six days a week means no room has to go for more than a few days without a thorough cleaning. […]
Notes on Strawberry Jam Day
Remember last year? My Mom and sister and I teamed up to make our jam for the whole year. This year I took the idea to our church instead. Our church is always looking for new fellowship ideas and I was hoping the event would draw people in. The thought was that I would bring […]
Funny
The dog beds are all in the laundry…. … so the dog is in the laundry too! This is what I found when I woke up. And this, from the other day… I was putting away laundry and the cat thought he would climb in the drawer, to help, I’m sure… How have your pets […]
Update
Pretty generic title, I know. Not feeling creative I guess! 🙂 Just figured I should post something until I get around to putting up something better. Here’s a few of the latest: Our Buckeye rooster died, and no we didn’t do it on purpose. He lost his voice which was sadly quite amusing until it […]
More Spring Cleaning
I’m making myself tackle some major chores today. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can reward myself by spending the next two days outside. Anyway, it is time for spring cleaning. Here are a few things I’ve done around here already: Moved all the furniture in the living room and mopped under it during […]
Spring Cleaning: Cabinets
When I can tear myself away from the garden I’m slowly reorganizing our kitchen cabinets. So far I have all the upper cabinets done. Next, I need to tackle the drawers and bottom cabinets. Everything is stuffed in there and it is so frustrating to have things falling out when you open the doors. Here’s […]
You Know You Worked Hard…
…when the water in the shower runs black!! I put in 40 tomato plants today and did a whole lot of weeding to make a place for them. It feels good to get so much done plus church, breakfast out with the family, and a bridal shower. Garden update coming soon, I promise! Thank you […]
Must.Write
Ugg. Can’t I just write that? Lol. Might as well just say what’s on my mind… I haven’t been writing because I’m not sure in which direction to take this blog. It seems like all I ever post about anymore is farm animals and menu plans. I have a lot more on my mind than […]
If I’m gone..
I was unlucky enough to get a virus on our laptop early Saturday morning so if I’m not around for awhile that’s why. I’m hoping to get it back on Monday but we’ll see. TTFN!
