This month I found the Wooden Skillet blog, and her recipes are incredible! I will definitely be trying more of her recipes. The first recipe I tried was the Roasted Salsa Verde. When I was making this recipe I was making it to pair with her Salsa Verde Chicken, which I will be writing about…

Teacher Appreciation – Best Place to Bee!
Teachers are some of the most amazing people! Being the daughter of a teacher, I got to see behind the scenes. Seeing how many hours are put in after school, before school, over the weekends, and on breaks, I gained a major appreciation for the teachers out there. So, when teacher appreciation week comes, I…

Only Little For So Long Picture
Reading through my other posts I bet you would never guess that I love handprints and footprints!

May Flower Handprints
One year with the kids I decided to do a project every month to track their growth. It was back when I had only 3 kids. Since then, I’ve updated a few with my daughter’s prints, and gotten rid of some. The picture for May was based on the well-known phrase “April showers bring May…

Mother’s Day Mugs
This year for Mother’s Day I made mugs with the kids as a gift to ME. I think Michelle from Crafty Morning stated it best when she said: “I know I’m not supposed to be making my own Mother’s Day gifts…but when you are a blogger who does crafts that’s just what you do.” She is completely…

Mother’s Day Sunshine
Do you have someone in your life who brings you happiness and light? When I was young, I would spend the majority of my mornings with my grandparents. Every morning my grandma would call me her sunshine and often sing some of the lyrics from “You Are My Sunshine”. It always brightened my day and…

Mom to Grandma
For Mother’s Day, I often like giving gifts showing how little the kids still are. They grow so fast, and I like to document the short period when they are small. Now when I think about Mother’s Day, I consider all of my kid’s grandma’s and myself of course. This year for my mother I…
