I was looking for something to make for my daughter’s teachers this Valentine’s Day and came across this tutorial for a Charmed Pencil Pouch. (Thank you, Pinterest!) The instructions were easy to follow, and the finished result pretty cute…even with my limited sewing skills. It was also a pretty inexpensive project, and we completed it [...]

Make-It-Yourself Monday: Poppyseed Chicken
January 30, 2012 By Leave a Comment
This recipe is from a little treasure I have called “Cherry’s Cookbook,” which is a little something I compiled for a friend out of her favorite recipe cards with the added bonus that I kept a copy for myself.

Five Minute Friday: Gentle
January 27, 2012 By 3 Comments

Remember when I mentioned cooking for friends on bedrest? Well, that’s exactly where this recipe came from…though I don’t really remember if it was delivered before OR after my last baby was born…no matter…it’s delicious! In fact, my daughter enjoyed it so much that she asked me if I had the “structions” so I just [...]

Works-for-Me Wednesday: Freezer Cooking
January 18, 2012 By 1 Comment
Especially when my mom comes to help! This past weekend, that’s just what she did, and my freezer is stocked with ready-to-cook meals, as well as heat-and-eat breakfasts, for the next few months when cooking might prove difficult. I tend to have a LOT of preterm contractions and have ended up on bedrest in [...]
