If you’ve been reading my blog for a while then you know I am not a baker by any means. I was told a long time ago that there are two types of people in the world. The bakers and the cooks. I’m most definitely a cook. Precisely dividing measurements and following directions are not [...]

Mulch to do About Nothing!

This post brought to you by Scotts Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine. Do you follow me on Facebook? You should, because then you’d know why I’ve been MIA this past week. I’ve been unplugged. No, I’m not a robot…although sometimes it does feel like my brain short circuits… I took a little time out. [...]

As you know, we’ve been working on our landscape when we can (actually when the weather allows us to.) The past week we decided to break up our yard with tree islands before we ordered more sod. This way we wouldn’t have as much square footage to cover with grass, and it will give some [...]

We are finally getting some much needed rain today, so I decided it was a good time to work on an egg craft. Yesterday I went to Michaels, for enamel paint (couldn’t find any) but I did find these cute paper mache eggs for $2.99. I was going to do this project with blown out [...]
