In the spring I went up to the big fabric warehouse and brought back many pretty pieces of fabric.  This was one of them.  Unfortunately, it wasn’t very wide, and I only bought 1 yard of it.  Normally, I could […]

Last week was a bit of a blur.  We had lots of stuff going on, and then we were gone for most of the weekend. Our kids had a very hard time getting up on Monday morning. I did get […]

*sigh* Some days you can’t win for losing, I swear. Anya had ONE gymnastics leotard that fit her.  I try not to do the laundry overly much, so sometimes it was not clean by the next time she needed to […]

Grilling season is upon us.  Our CSA started this week, so we have lots of…spinach and kale.  They tend to go overkill on the greens for the first few weeks.  Oh, and fresh strawberries!  And fresh eggs! Muffaletta spread on […]

This is a relatively easy side dish. When I don’t know what else to make, this is definitiely a winner. It has simple ingredients (you can use bacon instead of proscuitto) and it tastes pretty good. Note, I also have […]

I found this tutorial and thought it would make a great teacher gift, so I got one made up. After making it, I realized I wanted something a bit more substantial.  I added handles to it, so you could actually […]

We had a fairly busy week and I was trying to recover from being sick.  A malady I think I acquired on either the plane out to Vegas or the way back, and it stuck with me all week.  As […]

Vegas

By . Published on May 27, 2012

Vegas is always interesting. Bar at the 51st floor of the Rio, overlooking the strip. You have plenty of people watching and there is always something to do.  We slept in, spent the morning and early afternoon at the pool, […]

A few more pictures to catch me up… We got the fairy garden planted and I am grateful that we can do these things together.  It is very cute. 🙂 Grateful for funny things happening…like these ducks thinking our ponds […]
