Tasty Tuesday – Sweet Potato Biscuits

The first time I made these was 2003 it was our (Jeff & I) second Thanksgiving together and my first Thanksgiving dinner I had ever cooked by myself.  I wanted to make a fantastic Martha Stewart Thanksgiving dinner complete with Sweet Potato Biscuits, little did I know how bad they would turn out.  I did … Continue reading →

Starbucks + Girlfriend = Starbucks Cup Flowers

Starbucks + Girlfriend = Starbucks Cup Flowers

I admit I rarely go to Starbucks, I love Starbucks but I rarely treat myself to Starbucks.  One of my dearest friends Michelle told me she was taken me out for coffee Sunday.  It was wonderful we talked about life (husbands and kids), blogging and self promotion.  Michelle is a writer and understands the need … Continue reading →

Homemade Play Dough

The last time I made this was three years ago.  My daughter was two and we had only been in our house about a month.  I had the day off from work and I wanted to do something fun so we made play dough.  She also tried to eat it, it didn’t taste very good … Continue reading →

NO – SEW Child’s Artist Smock

I made my daughter’s artist smock two years ago for Christmas.  I did not have a sewing machine that worked but I was quite handy with Liquid Stitch.  I have no idea where I saw this idea originally it was two years ago (and a baby later) but I wanted to share with everyone this … Continue reading →

Pyrography (AKA: Wood Burning)

I remember the first wood burning kit I got was from my grandfather for Christmas one year.  My mom was less than pleased with my grandfather.  Giving a child (I think I was 10 or 11) a devise to burn things with, never pans out well.  Thankfully for my parents sake I was not that … Continue reading →

Felt Play Tent – Work In Progress
