We’ve had some severe rain the past few days – so much so that the school I work at was closed early yesterday and out completely today for flooding in the county. When I’m off work and Little Man is home, I keep him home with me to capture any additional time with him thatContinue reading “Q-Tip Polka Dot Painting”

4-Ingredient Pico de Gallo
I love, love, love Mexican food! I love spicy, cheesy, fresh foods – so I am almost always down for Mexican food at a restaurant or at home.

Strawberry & Chocolate Cookies
What says Valentine’s Day better than strawberries and chocolate?! The combination is a classic, particularly around this time of year.

Chocolate Chip & Walnut Cake-Batter Cookies
Out of all of the desserts available to us in the world – and, yes, I know there are a lot – I consider myself a true fan of two: ice cream and cookies.

It’s October, and that means it’s time for PUMPKINS! Do y’all love fall? I love the cooler weather, the crewneck sweatshirts, the natural colors, and the vegetation, including pumpkins.

Lil’ Helper Kitchen Stool
I don’t know about your kiddos, Momma Hen friends, but my son is a huge fan of helping in the kitchen. If I’m cooking or baking, he’s helping. Of course, there is a hindrance – his height. He can’t reach the countertop on his own. So I decided that we needed to do a quickContinue reading “Lil’ Helper Kitchen Stool”
