Get your butt in gear 2016

Even if my hubby wasn’t on a crazy pilot schedule of always on never off I would still have a list of things to do. Changing from being in the corporate world to being a stay at home mom (yeah I spelled it out …I hate when people use SAHM, really just spell people!) I like to have my “brain” with me each day. My brain not being the one living on caffeine and slobbery kisses, but the one that keeps me on task…well as on task as I can be.

Valentine’s Day Quiz

I love the answers that not only I come up with, but family and friends on holiday quizzes.  Even when I take the same “test” each year, I can come up with some funny answers.

It made holidays last for months with surprises hidden everywhere from the wood box to the barn.  Continue reading “Special Days”

Cakes

Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll

Something about the snowy weather brings out the baker in me and fills my home with smoke. Ok.. I haven’t burned anything this week…..Yet! When my baking goes according to plan it is a fun way to spend the morning after the pilot in the family gets up at 2am for a flight…who knew there was a 2am ! When you can’t go back to sleep bake up a treat.
