Dessert Stations – a Popular Replacement for the Standard Wedding Cake
Are you all aware of the trend these days to have a variety of desserts (preferably bite sized) offered at weddings? I’ve been to a few weddings where there is no wedding cake or if there is it’s just enough for the bride and groom to cut and feed each other. Personally, I like the new trend. A variety of scrumptious (hopefully) desserts to choose from… ahhh, love it. It’s not good for the waistline… Oh, why did you have to go and remind me?! I was salivating over some delicious confection drizzled with chocolate. Loaded with calories, of course. My niece, Emily is getting married this Saturday and she has asked me to make a…

Yours Truly Had a Birthday and Other Updates
Whoza, what a busy few weeks it has been. No projects completed, I’m just trying to maintain order! We had some visitors from Canada who live on the Alaskan Highway. Among other things, Stephen hunts wolves that are bothering the cattle. Lillian has a very interesting background. Her mother and father were both from the Ukraine. Her mother’s family were killed by the Germans all except for a sister-in-law and her baby who escaped into the woods and Lillian’s mother who had been sent to Germany to a work camp. Audrey read her very first word last week (B-I-G). We were so excited. We use the phonics program Sing, Spell, Read & Write. …

More Peeks in My Laundry Room
Okay, today I’m going to show you a little change we did in my sewing nook. Here’s the before picture. And here’s the after. Do you see the difference? Notice the cord from the light. Doesn’t it look sooo much better? What a difference! I also received a small little package in the mail this week from my sister with my finished curtain, lined and all. It’s really hard to get good pictures in that laundry room but the colors in the curtain are a bright pattern and contrast nicely with the black/taupe color of the laundry room. I changed out my button jars that sit on the window sill…

The Boys’ Bedroom – Getting Some Inspiration
Hey, hey folks! Things are happening in the laundry room today. Our tilesetter friend is coming out today to lay the tile in my sewing corner and there are a few other things that have been done in there. You’ll have to wait for pictures till after we get this tile in. I know it will be torturous but it won’t be long till I show you it all again. 😉 Today, I’ve got some cooking to do but I’m also hoping to do a little project for my boys’ bedroom. I think I’m starting to get some direction as to how I want to decorate it. It’s going to involve the word…. Excelsior…

Valentine’s Family Dinner 2012
How was your Valentine’s Day? Did you do anything special? I almost let it slide this year. Every year I like to plan something but this year I was really not feeling energetic enough to think about it… until the day of! Serenity was my little encourager. She enjoys planning things as much as I, so she was an inspiration for me to get going. So a little planning, a little cooking and everything came together and we had a special evening. Here’s how it went. As soon as Audrey saw me preparing for our special meal, she wanted to make something, too. So she got out her ingredients to make…
