I’ve recently been eating a lot of yogurt. Someday soon I hope to try making my own yogurt, but until then I decided to try out making some granola to top my store-bought yogurt. I used this recipe from my favorite slow-cooking blog. I actually used the cookbook based on the blog, but for the [...]  We’ve made some significant progress on our front porch project. Yay! I have to say, it is a pleasure to work on just one room at a time rather than a whole house renovation. And it is so much more enjoyable to paint and go up and down ladders while not being pregnant. Oh yes. [...] These are so stinkin’ good. And coming from this coconut-hating-gal that’s saying something. I made these on a whim because I had purchased coconut flakes for some homemade granola (coming to an upcoming post near you!), and had quite a bit leftover. I remembered this great recipe that my mom has and decided [...] Hello, my name is Monica and I have an addiction to pillows. Just thought I’d throw it out there. I seriously love pillows. I don’t throw them away. Ever. I just keep recycling them with new covers to fit their new surroundings. It combines three of my favorite things: (1) fabric, (2) cheap projects, and (3) [...] One really great thing about being a stay-at-home mama is the amount of reading I get to do. I’ve always been a big reader, but it was hard to fit it into my full-time work hours. Now that I’m home and often forced to sit down (a little hungry man will do that, you know!), [...] Although I’ve only been a parent for 7 months (really? Tomorrow is 7 months already??), I’ve already had some experience with needing remedies for common baby problems. Parker has been blessed with fairly good health, but even the healthiest babies can sometimes use a little help now and again. If you know me in real [...] As I have mentioned before, I’m sort of a budget nazi when it comes to making purchases for myself. I love to buy presents, have no problem when we buy stuff for the family, or when there is something we need to get. But, spend money on myself? Now that’s a little harder for me [...] I’ve been sewing since I was in third grade (as best as I can remember!). I can still fondly recall some of the first things I ever made (or helped with): a stuffed animal pig, a cat skirt, a garden dress, etc. But I didn’t really get into sewing until my mom started [...] I’ve been getting the Cooking Light magazine for the past few years. Every month I get re-inspired to try new recipes and challenge my cooking abilities. I just love it! I also love how many of their recipes use mostly fresh ingredients. Like this great Turkey Sausage Pasta I made for [...] . . . or, a new mama’s thoughts on sleep. For me, sleep deprivation was by far the hardest part about becoming a parent. As much as I knew baby’s didn’t sleep a whole lot, I was no where near prepared enough to deal with the physical and emotional agony of not getting enough [...] |
