  • What Did You Just Say?

    2. Something your kids said that made you think. Let me start off with this disclaimer:  The Imaginative One is a ferocious reader.  He almost always has a book in his hand.  In fact on Tuesday, he was supposed to help with a fire safety merit badge class for Boy Scouts.  Instead he wanted to read. A…

  • Peach Quick Bread

    One thing I am realizing is that even though I’ve shared recipes, I’ve not shared much about the kids or really welcomed you into my kitchen for a meal. My kids are now eleven and almost thirteen.  Another chapter in my life is beginning, that is a mother of a teenager.  Let me tell you,…

  • In a previous post, I wrote about our Christmas traditions.  Here are some pictures of our Christmas Day.  I made collages of the pictures I took on Christmas Day. Enjoy!

  • Christmas Traditions

    Do you have any Christmas traditions?  My family has a few traditions that we do every year. First of all, we celebrate St. Nicholas Day on December 6.  The boys put out their shoes for small treats.  This year though, I forgot to get them, so I was at the mall getting them gifts.  They…

  • Weekly Ramblings – Halloween 2015 – Write 31 Wrap Up

    Today is the last day of the Write 31 challenge.  I can’t believe it’s over.  During the challenge, I hooked a lot of meals and desserts in the crockpot.  It’s been a fun experience.  In fact, as I am typing, there is chicken and hamburger meat cooking for later meals. I’m going to continue cooking…

  • Gelatin Poke Cake

    Years ago, I used to make gelatin poke cakes for different occasions. They were one of Hubby’s favorite desserts. Then I stopped making them for some reason. Hubby’s birthday was last week. I decided to make a gelatin poke cake for his birthday cake. Wee One helped me make the cake. He also got to choose…

  • In the last week, we’ve had homemade pizza twice.  Last Sunday I made a pizza for our Sunday night dinner at my mother-in-law’s house.  We then had it for supper on Saturday night.  I tried two new crust recipes and enjoyed the second one.  In fact, Hubby told me that the pizza was great on…

  • The Imaginative One could live on chocolate, popcorn, and French Fries. I’ve started baking my French Fries.  He loves them and will eat any fries left on the tray. The first hundred times (maybe not that much), it would take the fries a long time to bake which doesn’t help when I have to get…

  • The Imaginative One could live on 3 different foods – chocolate, popcorn, and French fries.  Sometimes in the evening, he’ll pop up some popcorn to eat as his nighttime snack.  I’ve shown him how to make microwave popcorn without all that mess that’s in microwave popcorn.  It’s as easy as 1 -2 -3 to make.…
