Life

Life is busy with four kids.  Meet the fam, and join me in my slightly cuckoo nest for funny kid stories, cool tips, reviews, and other random stuff that tickles my fancy.  Right now, we're loving on a new baby, and riding the waves of toddlerhood.  The sea gets choppy, but I'm treading water and loving every minute!

Family Favorite Recipes

Easy Dill Pickle Recipe

Good food is one of life's true pleasures.  I love to think about it, make it, eat it, and talk about it.  Y'all come join me while I dish our family favorite recipes and cooking tips. 

Join me in my itty bitty kitchen and cook along with lots of step by step photos, and printable recipes.. Healthy, easy, and delicious is the name of the game. 

And I never forget the desserts.

Natural Remedies

Toddler Sleep Remedy

I've learned that herbs and natural remedies aren't just for folks who wear Birkenstocks and smell of pachouli.  Happily, we've begun treating most of our common illnesses at home successfully with yummy herbal remedies.  Find recipes for simple, effective home remedies; stay tuned for recent research and reviews; and join me on herb gathering excursions.

Home and Garden 

Come hang out in my home and garden.  Right now, we're feathering our nest with fun creative projects, watching bluebirds raise their babies, and growing herbs and veggies!
