Before anyone gets all up in arms and wants to call CPS on me, let me explain. In recent headlines there have been two instances of parents who publicly “humiliated” their kids on Facebook for being disrespectful and bratty.

DIY Ombre subway art for Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, so when Plaid Crafts sent me a whole box of Martha Stewart Craft Supplies and asked me to create a Mother’s Day project, I jumped at the chance.

Homemade onion rings. They ain’t pretty, but they taste good!
I am so excited! I am at the SNAP! Conference in Salt Lake City. It’s my first blog conference and I’m really looking forward to it. Because I was going to be gone for a couple of days I decided to make one of the guys’ favorites for dinner: burgers and homemade onion rings. They […]

Using Wheat Grass for Spring Decor. (For less than $2)
Yes, yes, I’ve talked about wheat grass before. I’m going to talk about it again, just because I love it so. I love that you can buy it in a pint size container at the grocery store for a buck fifty. (How often do you get a flower arrangement for less than $2?!) I love […]
