You know just how sweet and wonderful your husband is when he:
prepares an aromatic bubble bath in a claw foot tub for you
makes a healthy snack (sandwich and fruit) and arranges it beautifully on a plate for you
sets up a side table next (towel hamper) next to the bath for your plate of food, complete [...]

Have you ever found a really good deal on chicken? You know, one of those deals that’s so good that it’s only on sale for one day?
On May 5 (Cinco de Mayo, yes, I know that’s over a month ago–I’m just now going through my photos), I noticed in the Randall’s ad that frozen boneless, [...]

After I go swimming, I often have a lot of wet items that need to be hung up to dry. Before I purchased my swim cover-up, I would have to put my work clothes on over my swimsuit if I wanted to go into the grocery store on the way home.

Like many people (I’m sure), my yarn just isn’t in one spot of my house. I’ve managed to group most of it on two shelves of a bookshelf, but I have additional yarn (mostly hot pink) and my knitting bags (more yarn, books, knitting needles, crochet hooks, etc.) under my desk.

I went to the plant nursery yesterday, with the intention of purchasing a tomato plant. They were out of vegetable plants (until the fall plantings come in), but they suggested that I might be able to grow cucumbers, squash, and peppers from seed.
I purchased 1 pkg each of yellow bell pepper and summer zucchini squash [...]

We have started having Game Night on Monday nights. We don’t sing songs or read scriptures, but at least we’re spending some quality time together at least once a week. It usually spills over, because we end up playing games additional nights during the week. When we have friends over for dinner, we also play [...]

Here’s how the conversation went between the Baker and the Observer in my kitchen today:
Observer: What are you making for lunch today?
Baker (kneeding bread with awesome strength and endurance): A sandwich.
Observer: That’s a lot of work for a sandwich.
Did you find this conversation funny or did you just shake your head and side with the [...]

I made personal-sized pizzas a few weeks ago. They were so cute that I had to post a picture! This is the way that mine will look when I make them (Hopefully!) this week.
I made whole wheat pizza dough in the bread machine while I was at work. When I got home, I shaped the [...]

Recently, I’ve posted about making brownies with beans, as well as making regular brownies with chocolate chips (see the recipe at the bottom of the second paragraph).
I also made a double batch of brownies about 2 weeks ago, which I used as gifts for co-workers (end of the school year). After the brownies cooled, I [...]

I haven’t been sewing much lately (I’m currently knitting a shawl with plans for a knitted baby blanket), but I have plans to pick up sewing again now that I’m off work for the summer. I’ve been looking into getting a serger (and taking a class on how to use it). I feel that a [...]
