 I have read some tutorials lately to help me learn how to take better photos of my Christmas tree – they help with photos of other lights, too – so I decided to share some of my successes with you. Note: I have had my DSLR for about a year and a half and am by [...]  It’s been several years since we’ve lived in a house with a mantel and I’ve never really done a theme or seasonal decoration for the mantels we have had in the past. So, this year, I thought I would put together something. My goal was to take my time and choose fabrics and items that I [...]  We’re still on this ongoing journey to a cleaner, more healthy lifestyle and one of my biggest endeavors has been to get rid of the host of cleaning products we’ve had in our home that have some really nasty chemicals in them (seriously, if it makes your eyes burn when using it, it’s probably not [...]  Last week was such a bizarre week around here. The ice storm really threw me off schedule. Our power was restored Thursday morning around 9. We quickly packed up and headed home because Michael was suppose to be at work by 10 (he only had a 2 hour delay that day). Somehow I was just totally [...]  I love my husband!! That’s not new news or anything, but it’s worth repeating time and again. Michael is the rational thought to all of my irrational emotions.

I am thankful he was able to be with his family during this time, but am definitely excited to have [...] No, I’m not pregnant!! We’re moving – I know I said that a few months ago, but it’s for real this time! This time Michael’s orders are to Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio!! However, this is not a normal take 4 months to move kind of PCS (permanent change of station). This is one of those quick [...]  Last year, after many years of use and moving house my 3qt stainless saucepan/pot somehow managed to get warped on the bottom. We tried to fix it. I heated it with water in it and then Michael hammered away at the bottom of it, trying to smooth out the warping, but to no avail. Normally, [...]  For years, when cooking/baking something that required being greased or oiled (skillets, cake pans, etc) I would pour a bit of oil in the bottom of the pot/pan, fold up a paper towel and then wipe the oil around with the towel to coat the bottom and sides. However, a few years ago a friend turned [...]  Spring has such new meaning to me once each little one reaches the amazing age of really enjoying playing outdoors. And, for this little chick. . . . . . spring has sprung! This post is linked to You Capture!  |
