My husband just told me that it is going to be in the eighties this weekend. I'm REALLY excited and ready for summer to officially arrive. Since summer is almost here, we spent last week getting the pool in tip top shape. Now we are ready to spend some time swimming and BBQing with friends in the backyard. I thought I was ready to go until I opened our BBQ and found this disgusting mess..... Obviously I had some grill cleaning to do. I can't remember the last time I gave our BBQ grill … [Read more...]

How many times have you been cooking and need to know how many pints are in a gallon? Or how many cups to a pint? Off the top of your head can you remember how many cups are in a gallon? I can always remember 4 quarts to a gallon and 2 cups to a pint, but after that I start to confuse myself and have to go look it up. Not sure if it's age or the fact that I've had five children, or maybe it is a combination of the two. But my memory just isn't what it used to be! On one of my many visits to … [Read more...]

The Magic Way to Clean Your Windows

Magic Way to Clean Your Windows

How long do you think it should take to clean two full sliding glass doors and 8 large windows? I'm talking about start to finish, sparkling, no streaks  no spots, clean? I've tried using newspapers (make sure you wear rubber gloves or you will get ink all over your hands and it still leaves streaks). I've tried using a professional cleaning tool with the sponge scrubber and squeegee. I still ended up with at least one streak on several windows. I finally decided it was best to ignore … [Read more...]

Mother's Day Craft

This project proves that April showers bring May flowers. The beautiful roses in my vase came from the rose bushes in my back yard. I have three rose bushes:  white, yellow and pink. Each bush is in full bloom. Not only are they beautiful, but my kitchen smells wonderful! I was looking for a project that would use my roses and be a great last minute Mother's Day craft project. Since we are so close to Mother's Day I knew I needed something that would be quick and easy. I found the pin I was … [Read more...]

Oh how I love chocolate! One of my fondest memories surrounding chocolate is about my maternal grandmother. When we were younger we would get to go spend the night at her house. No other siblings, just me and my grandmother. Of course I loved every minute of our precious time together. She had one very special tradition that we did every time I got to spend the night. My grandmother had two beautiful purple grape mugs that she only used on special occasions. I was fascinated with the mugs and … [Read more...]

We have been in our current house since 2006. Moving means a lot of new things you have to get used to. In our previous town, stores were very close and convenient. For example, our favorite bagel shop was just around the corner from our house. Oh, how we loved that place. They made the BEST bagels fresh every morning! Then there was the flavored cream cheeses, makes my mouth water just thinking about it! When we moved to our new home, we found out the bad news.......NO local bagel shop! Talk … [Read more...]

Apple Bacon Coleslaw #Apple #Bacon #Coleslaw

The first thought that comes to my mind when I hear the word coleslaw is Kentucky Fried Chicken. Let me explain. When I was young, it was a big treat to get to go to Kentucky Fried Chicken. It would have been hard to choose what I liked best, the chicken or the choice of side dishes! I was one of those stubborn kids who hated vegetables and wouldn't eat them. My poor mother tried every tactic there was, they never worked. There was no way she was going to get me to eat something that was both … [Read more...]

WARNING, WHAT YOU WILL SEE BELOW MAY SCAR YOU FOR LIFE. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! OK you have been warned, and now I have to come clean about my ovens. First, let's start with what type of cook I am.

That way when I am done, I can sit down to enjoy my meal because I know I don't have a big mess to clean up when the meal is over. Having the kitchen clean … [Read more...]

Free Mother's Day Quote 8x10 #Mother's Day #Free Mother's Day Printable #Free Printable

I have had a love/hate relationship with Mother's Day.  For the first 6 years of my marriage, I was a basket case on Mother's Day as I was agonizingly  made aware that I was not a Mother.  My deepest wish and desire was not coming to pass as we struggled to start our family and nothing was happening. And then on May 9, 1986, the day before Mother's Day, we picked up our sweet little 2 day  old daughter as she joined our family as our adopted daughter.  That Mother's Day was one that I … [Read more...]
