Sometimes you see an idea so wonderful that you just can’t help but love it! That was the case with this Fruit {Cake} from A Cupcake Love Affair! Isn’t it wonderful? I will be making one on Monday for my daughter’s 7th birthday. Of course I will show you how it goes… wish me luck! …
There is nothing like gardening on a sunny day like today was. I love being able to get my hands dirty and teach my girls all about the wonder of nature. It’s even better when we have something refreshing to drink while we are gardening. That is why my girls and I decided to plant …
I am always on the hunt for recipes that are equally easy to make and delicious. This Honey Mustard Chicken with Campbell’s Soup is definitely both delicious and easy! The cream of chicken soup really makes the sauce very creamy and the flavor mixes well with the honey mustard. Plus, it comes together in around …
So how am I doing on the Champions For Kids Jennie-O Make the Switch Challenge? In my original post about Making the Healthy Switch I shared how I was willing to give up chips this month and use the money I saved to give to kids in need. I am glad to say that we have …
How is the manual setting working for you? Have you started to get the hang of it? This is part three of our trilogy of Aperture, ISO and Shutter Speed. Shutter Speed is exactly how it sounds…. it controls the speed in which the shutter opens and closes. The longer it stays open …
You may remember last week when I talked about Champion for Kids Jennie-O Make the Switch Challenge and how I had given up buying chips for the month of May. The whole challenge is about giving up something that is not really healthy and switching it for something healthier. Then you can use the …
For the last several weeks I have been baking like crazy. I am not really sure why (other than my sweet tooth), but I think you’ll be glad that I did! This recipe stemmed from my love of Cookie Dough and a recipe that I shared a few weeks ago for a “Not-So-Raw” cookie dough …
There is nothing better than sitting on my porch in the afternoon while watching my kids play around the yard (for recess)! Well, unless you include some yummy Mocha Iced Coffee, then it’s even better! I often start to drag after 1 o’clock and this ritual has become the perfect “pick me up”. Other than the …
I am so excited about this picture frame! I think it turned out super cute!!! I thought of making this frame because we have a small wall by our front door that was looking very plain. I thought that a new picture frame would really make the space pop! Plus I always look for ways …
So… this recipe was actually linked up 2 weeks ago, but I kept thinking about it and decided that I NEEDED to make it! The original recipe is by The Pioneer Woman and Kristin from Homespun with Love made this and posted it to her blog. Her picture- OH SO YUMMY!!! After seeing …
If you know me well you know that I love photography. I love learning more and more about this art and I enjoy taking lots of photos. One area that I am particularly weak in is Food Photography. I do take lots of pictures of food and most of them are great, but there are …
It’s almost Mother’s Day and this year I decided to do a little patio spruce up. My patio was looking rather drab and boring. I could sit down, but there was no place to lay a book or drink. When the kids are playing outside I really need a place where I can just sit …
My mom is not really hard to buy for. All she really wants is pics of the girls or something thoughtful. This year I am getting creative and making her something she can display for years to come. I came up with this Watering Can Photo Gift and I think it is SO cute! …
I hope you had a wonderful week! I have a real treat for you… Watermelon Pie. I got this idea from a post that Dorothy from Crazy for Crust linked up. She made Alligator Pie. I used her same recipe, but I changed the colors. As you can see she does a much better job …
