We had a beautiful Spring morning & a blustery Winter afternoon. I attired myself for the morning. We spent some time in the back garden enjoying the sunshine. Then we went to a “Spring” festival in the afternoon – it was so cold! Coats & gloves cold. I wore a floaty, gauzy top with a … More Bubbles & Sunshine
I love the infrared photo effect. I didn’t have a great photo to start with. I have just got to get out there and take more pictures – I’m pretty good about taking pictures of my family, but I need to be better about just going out & taking pictures.

It’s hard … More Challenge #3 Pork Chops with Golden Apple Sauce

While in the fabric store, looking at all the cute fabrics for kids, I came across a couple of great patterns that I thought would make fun pillows for the boys. I had intended to just make rectangular pillows – nothing fancy. Recently while feeling quite … More Challenge #5 Theme Pillows
So for 34 days/almost 5 weeks/the month of March, I didn’t buy groceries. I had $20 per week to buy dairy products & produce. It was a great experience for our family & I learned a few lessons. This is what I learned… Dairy & especially produce are expensive! I thought that $20 a week was … More Challenge #7 No Groceries for a Month – Thoughts
So Old Navy had their 50% off clearance sale this weekend. So glad that I get emails from them to tell me when these things are happening. I went, of course & scored some amazing deals.
