I'm still pinching myself to believe that spring is here, and the weather is warm. I have to believe it when I see our garden. Most of our beans are up. Babies are cute - even baby beans. I put our tomatoes in so I have baby tomatoes too. And I have three zucchini plants up …

Cheese Crackers
Oddly enough this recipe comes from a dream. I dreamed one night about making cheese crackers. When I woke up I knew I had to try it. Basically I just took my recipe for whole wheat crackers and added grated cheese to it. I rolled the dough as thin as possible and used a one …
A Multi-tiered Jumper
Another sewing project from my sister, Julie. Enjoy. So my lovely sister, who writes this blog, asked me to take pictures when I am sewing and then write instructions on how to sew the things I am creating. I have been sewing for a few years now but have never had much success with reading patterns so …

Disclosure: Affiliate Links Well, I gave in to my daughter's subtle begging and read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It was a pretty good read.

Camping Bugs
A couple of weeks ago we were going to take a camping trip as a family. We haven't been on one as an entire family in ten years. I actually had never been camping until after I was married. I was a bit skeptical when my husband proposed it. We had two children - one …

This week I went back to one of my favourite authors. When all other books fail to interest me his never do - Philip Oppenheim. This time I read The Great Secret. The girl started out on the "bad guy" side and I didn't see how she could/would switch so the hero could have the …
Baby Shake
My baby is getting bigger all the time and doing it mostly on breast milk. Not surprising except when you consider that he's nearly seventeen months and weighs over thirty pounds. Some days are better than others for eating solids, but he probably averages an 80/20 ration between breast milk and solid foods. I …
