If no one comments on the school work that Grant does… … he’ll just go ahead and high-five himself. Good job!

The tribe has spoken: I’m still on the island.

I’m happy to say that I made it through the first round of the One Month To Win It contest! My wine cork artwork*** received enough votes to keep me in the competition another week, so thank you to anyone who voted for it. Here’s a quick summary of how this works: The 4-week competition […]

No-sew curtain panels.

March 31, 2011 64 Comments

Let me say this out of the gate: I can sew, I just usually choose not to. (OK, I almost ALWAYS choose not to.) I sew with a glue gun. (Don’t you judge me.) I don’t usually buy pre-made curtain panels. I found a great discount fabric store where I can get gorgeous fabrics anywhere […]

Corsa The Guilty Dog can give Denver The Guilty Dog a run for his money.

March 30, 2011 27 Comments

Last week a video of a dog named Denver went viral because the guilty look on his face gave him away as the culprit when someone (besides the cat) ate the cat’s treats. Been there, done that, have the T shirt. I’ve mentioned previously how our dog, Corsa, gives herself away with the Guilty Smile […]

Fast, simple, low fat, low calorie Super Salsa. Pass the chips please.

March 23, 2011 22 Comments

I’ve always been a (lazy) jarred salsa kind of girl. Last summer while camping, we had delicious, fresh salsa that was whipped up by my friend’s 14 year old daughter. I asked for the recipe, but couldn’t recreate it. It just wasn’t the same. I tweaked it and tweaked it and found out that simple […]

I take my coffee in the shower.

March 22, 2011 33 Comments

Although you wouldn’t know it by the weather, tank top weather is coming. Egads! That means bathing suit weather isn’t far behind. Now while I long for the days when my biggest complaint was only about my fat butt, now everything is squishy. That’s gonna take some work. However! My winter skin gets a good […]

Personalized Dishes – How to bring a casserole to a potluck… and not lose your pyrex.

March 21, 2011 88 Comments

I love to cook. I’m happy to bring something (or a couple of somethings) to a potluck. I am not happy when I don’t get my Pyrex back again… There is no such thing as Dish Karma. If you lose one, another doesn’t show up as a random act of dish replacement. The Land of […]

A matter of taste.

March 19, 2011 17 Comments

Grant asked for a quesadilla for lunch. I made him one and added a little side of tortilla chips. Grant: “These chips are too spicy.” Me: “The chips…? The chips are too spicy..?!” Grant: “Yes.” Me: “Not the quesadilla… but the chips are too spicy..?” Grant: “Yes.” Me: “You’re weird.” Grant: (slightly confused) “I thought […]

Distressed Spring Artwork Tutorial.

March 15, 2011 107 Comments

The day the LORD created HOPE was probably the same day He created SPRING. I love that! Let’s make some artwork based on it! Grab a piece of wood. In this case, I used 1′ x 2′ scrap of 1/4″ plywood. Grab a paintbrush and some good white primer. ( I like Kilz.) Put 2 […]
