Family moments – Wordless Wednesday

I’m ashamed to admit that I just now realized {over a month later} that I never posted any pictures from Easter. Here’s a rare family photo snapped by my mom, and a few of the kiddos, aren’t they cute :) Happy WW! Mister Linky’s Magical Widgets — Easy-Linky widget will appear right here! This preview […]

What day is it??

Rain Rain Rain …and yep you guessed it, more rain! Ugh, this dreary wet mushy muddy swampy weather seems to have everyone on auto pilot lately! Even Mr.T. came home from school yesterday and asked me what was wrong with everyone! Why is everyone so quiet lately he asked? I looked up at him from […]

How do you say that in PA – Dialect Vlog Hop #5

Once again it’s time to participate in the Dialect Vlog Hop that Annie from the Mama Dweeb blog has created. This is such a fun {and sometimes silly} way to hear how your favorite bloggers and bloggy friends’ voices sound. My son, Mr.T., got into the action today and I think this is my favorite […]

Filling our raised bed gardens with horse manure

Last Saturday we finally located a wonderful source of material to fill our raised beds with. My aunt and uncle sent me to a nice man who has been composting his horse manure for over twenty years! We hooked on to the trailer and drove the 10 miles out to his farm to load up. […]

Wordless Wednesday – My kids and the camera

Finding photos on my camera that the kids have taken is one of my favorite things… usually. Now that Mr.T. is learning about photography in his art and design for business class this semester, he’s been actively taking photos (and changing all of my camera settings) as well. Oops! I had thought Mr.T. took these […]

Monday Night Melody – Adele

Monday is almost over it’s true but we can still send it off with a great song! I’ll be missing in action for the next couple days, I am helping my cousin make a camouflage prom dress for her son’s girlfriend. Neither one of us has made anything like this before let alone any clothing […]

Hapy Mother’s Day!

I hope all the moms are enjoying their special day with a little bit of relaxation surrounded by their loved ones! I’ve had a wonderful day so far. My man got me a new sewing machine that’s all fancy so I have something new to learn :) I thought I’d share the little poem I […]

Wordless Wednesday – The Elusive Teenager!

Even my loyal blog readers may not realize that we do actually have a teenager in the house. I took a moment to snap some photos last week when there was a rare teen sighting, and an outside one no less! These sightings are far and few between as said teen is usually holed up […]

My raised bed Garden Plan – 2011

Since this is the first year that we are trying the Square foot gardening method in our new raised beds, I wanted to make sure that I had a good plan in place.  Usually I graph out our large gardens on graph paper in long rows of vegetables. Using this new method, each square foot […]

Monday Morning Melody – Patrick Swayze

I watched Dirty Dancing last night. Definitely in my top ten favorite movies of all time. It makes me cry every time. The actual Time of My Life video that I would love to share with you has embedding disabled so I can’t post it, if you have time it’s totally worth the 5 minutes […]

How to build a raised bed vegetable garden!

This year was going to be the year that I said the heck with it and didn’t have a garden. That lasted about 2 weeks then I knew I was just kidding myself! A garden is a MUST for us! We need to be able to eat fresh green onions, cherry tomatoes, and have plants […]

Dialect Vlog Hop 4 – From PA

Annie over at MammaDweeb.com has another Dialect Vlog Hop up! These are really a fun way to get to know the faces, and voices, behind some of your favorite blogs! My hair needed combed and the sun glare wasn’t so great but here is my dorky video anyway. I had to edit out a piece […]
