The Spiked! challenge that Jamie and Carrie put on has been a lot of fun. For those of you who haven’t heard about this, every other month they pick an alcohol that must be used to bake or cook. This month the chosen alcohol was Tequila. I had a lot of fun thinking about this […]
DIY Decorative Mugs
My mom loves Big Bang Theory and I knew that the perfect Mother’s Day gift would focus around that. I did some searching on Etsy as well as the CBS store but couldn’t decide what I wanted. Eventually I decided to make my own mugs with Sheldon Quotes! The supplies for this are simple, I […]
Honey Glazed Grilled Pears – Recipe Wednesday
One of the things I love about summer is that we can cook many of our dinners on the grill. We’ve had a few days this year where this has been possible and it is glorious. One evening while we had steaks cooking I decided to throw some pears on there. The pear halves cooked […]
Cinnamon Roll Crusted Crisp – Recipe Wednesday
Friday evening with the neighbors generally leads to some good adventures. A couple weeks ago we were looking for something to do with some pie filling that Brad and I had canned this past summer. After bouncing a few ideas around we decided to create a crisp with cinnamon rolls as the crust. They were […]
Music Throughout the House
This past Thursday Brad came home with some new toys for our home sound system. We have always wanted a way to have music play outside and also have music inside for parties and background noise. Ideally, this system would tie into all the music that we have on our computers upstairs (even bigger plus […]

Adventures in Fabric Remnants – Baby Blanket
This is the last of the Baby Remnant Project (or at least the last one that I have planned at this point). I made quite a few baby blankets a couple weekends ago and currently have them for sale in my etsy shop. If you would like to make one yourself, here are some simple […]
Pulled Pork Chili – Recipe Wednesday
A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was making pulled pork chili and promised a recipe shortly thereafter. Well, I didn’t take photos because I figured there would be some left over after the cookoff – wrong. Since there was none left over I had to make it again for the photos (oh shucks). […]
Adventures in Fabric Remnants – Burp Cloths
Welcome to week 4 of Adventures in Fabric Remnants! The item this week corresponds to last week’s Diaper Strap – DIY Burp Cloths. You might have seen some of the items I made in yesterday’s post as well. This project doesn’t require too much, just flannel and cloth diapers. Make sure to pre-wash the diapers […]
Peach French Toast – Recipe Wednesday
One of the dishes that we had for Easter dinner was a Peach French Toast. I took the recipe home and made a few modifications so that Brad could enjoy it too. I also removed a few items that seemed unnecessary. I liked my version better and it will be made again! Peach French Toast […]
