Corn

Posted on 02 June 2010

If you have kids (especially younger kids) and you’ve never given them the opportunity to “peel” fresh corn on the cob, they are truly missing out on one of the greatest joys of childhood.
When we decided to plant a garden here this year, I had absolutely no problem deciding three of the things we would [...]

52 Weeks | 1 – Typefaces

Posted on 30 March 2010

Being the mediocre brilliant graphic designer that I am, I’ve been around the block a time or two with my obsession over typefaces (a.k.a. fonts).  It’s so interesting to me how fonts started – one style for everything – and that they’ve ended up being SO diverse.  I mean, we’re talking millions of different [...]

Beef Tips

Posted on 23 February 2010

Well, what an easy and delicious meal!  I saw this recipe on CMT’s Country Fried Flicks with Hazel Smith (we were watching Backdraft – excellent movie) and just HAD to try it out.  I hopped on over to CMT.com and there it was!  The recipe calls for the tips to be served on white [...]

This Man in My Life

Posted on 28 May 2010

Hellooooooo Handsome!
He loves God, his family, working on old cars and making people happy.  He thinks so much of me that most of the time, I know I don’t deserve it.  He’d give you the shirt off his back, the food out of his freezer, or the gas out of his truck if he thought [...]

Welcome to the Hotel California!

Posted on 12 May 2010

Hello from sunny California!  We took off from Springfield-Branson at 6:30 and finally landed in Fresno around noon yesterday (Tuesday) – keep in mind, CA is 2 hours behind MO – and we’re exhausted but thrilled to be here!  Yesterday we stayed in Clovis (just outside Fresno) & I had my very first Cheesecake Factory [...]

Cran-Apple Chicken Salad

Posted on 18 February 2010

chickensaladThis Chicken Salad recipe is one of my favorites – it’s mostly healthy (completely healthy if you use “lite” mayonnaise), very refreshing, and perfect for a hot summer day. It’s really good on some nice soft wheat bread, ciabatta bread, on a tortilla, lettuce leaf, or even just eaten by itself out of a bowl (my personal favorite). I recommend boiling and chopping the chicken yourself (not using the canned chunked chicken breast – it just doesn’t taste as good at all) and using the “Craisins” brand dried sweetened cranberries – yum!

Attention: I have a NEW PROJECT!
Wednesdays are the worst day of the week, in my opinion…you’re two days into the work week & still two away from the weekend.  So, let’s do something positive with our Hump Days!  Every Wednesday, take a few minutes out of your day to blog about something that makes you [...]

Not Me! Monday

Not Me! Monday

Posted on 05 April 2010

First of all, it was definitely not me who told my son that the McDonald’s in town was closed (at 2 o’clock in the afternoon) just to avoid a fit over just telling him that it made Momma want to puke just to think about eating McDonald’s right then.  I don’t lie to my child.
It [...]

Show Us Your Life: Cleaning Tips

Posted on 25 March 2010

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m not big on cleaning.  Now don’t get me wrong, I love clean…just not the whole process it takes to get there.
That being said, I promise I am a responsible personal maid housewife, so every so often I do actually lift a dainty finger and stir up the dust a bit.
1.  [...]
