You should know that this is not the blog to come to if you are interested in fashion or glamour. Not gonna find it here. Nope. Today for your viewing pleasure I made a video about mowing the grass. Just makes you want to live my life, doesn’t it. [I wish they had a sign [...]

Starting A New School Year
Today is my homeschool in-service day. My children will start their classes tomorrow. We made all the heavy decisions in the spring and I just need to do some sprucing and sorting. My munchkins are super excited, and I’m…a little excited. A bit sad that summer is coming to an end, but a bit glad that [...]
Photo Editingg Giveaway
That’s not a misspelling in the title. It’s the way Chris Gallello spelled the name of the company he founded to improve photos and preserve memories. What does Editingg do? They take the photos you send to them, work on them, and send them back in just a few days. Following are some of the [...]
Easy Summer Snack – Puppy Chow!
Are you going to a summer get together? Why not take some puppy chow to share? Everyone in my family likes it – including the puppy. Seriously, it’s quick and fast with no oven required. It always gets eaten. It has chocolate – what else do you need?
Library Summer Program With Animals!
Even though I haven’t been keeping very good track of my munchkins reading times for points… I have taken them to some of the library programs. In July we went to an outreach program from Zoo America. I took my camera, of course. Here’s some video clips of the animals they brought to the library.

Mare And Newborn Colt
All baby animals are cute – right? Horses are beautiful – right? Put the two together and it’s so-o precious! At my munchkins first riding lesson my son rode on the pregnant mare so we were super excited to see the foal! For more pictures visit the Wordless Wednesday main site or 5 Minutes for [...]
Easiest Way To Hard Boil Eggs
Have you ever volunteered to take Deviled Eggs to a get-together? Maybe you boiled the eggs but the shells refused to come off. You were so frustrated that you felt like cutting the shells off with a knife, or just throwing the whole egg out the window. This method of hard boiling helps immensely with [...]
My Pitiful Garden
I did not endeavor to do much this year with vegetable gardening. I have 8 cucumber plants and 4 tomato plants. I did plant a bunch of flowers and the begonias are doing really well under the shady tree. The other flowers I tried under there just didn’t grow – so now I know to [...]
