I love reading about what other folks are loving right now on their blogs, but don’t formalize a list of mine that often. So, here goes, things I’m loving right now. Ellen’s Blueberry Muffins over at Pioneer Woman (my version pictured above). I baked them last night and they are really good! I think they … Continue reading

Compost Cookies
This weekend, thanks to Cirilia and that magic of Twitter, we made compost cookies. It was really fun! The basic premise is to make a cookie dough, take a cup and a half of sweet stuff and a cup and a half of salty stuff, mix it in and voila, cookies! For our sweet stuff, … Continue reading
Weekending
This weekend, we hibernated to get things done. There was a lot of cleaning, and a quick trip to the mall for the husband to see the new iPhone (we’re a bit behind), but otherwise, it was all about the food! On Saturday, I made granola. This was my second batch. It is so good … Continue reading
New beginnings
I love new beginnings. For me, the new school year was always a time for new beginnings, even more of a “new year” sort of feeling for me. I remember as a kid being so excited for the new school year and the shopping for new clothes and school supplies made it even more exciting. … Continue reading
Finish Line
This took me forever, why are we not surprised! But, I have the results of my bloggy contest! First off, thank you SO much for your support! We were able to raise $400 for the MS Society. It may not seem like a ton (and I hope to do a better job with it next … Continue reading
Life (and a contest)
Sometimes, you have the best intentions of doing something and then the rest of your life stuff gets in the way. That’s how it’s been regarding helping the husband raise money for his MS150 ride this year! I rode the MS150 with him for a couple of years and the last few years he’s done … Continue reading
The Perfect Weekend
We’ve dubbed this weekend the perfect weekend, and it really was in so many ways. One of the highlights was strawberry picking. We picked 20 pounds of strawberries. I couldn’t believe that we picked that much! I told the boys we could pick as many as we wanted since I could can them! And can … Continue reading
Girasole
For Christmas, our very kind friends Bonnie and David built Cam a train table. So, I wanted to give them something nice and handmade in return. I wound up choosing Girasole and am so glad I did. It turned out beautifully! It did seem like it took forever to finish at the end, since each … Continue reading
Still Finishing
I think I may try to keep finishing things until the Ravelympics start on the day of opening ceremonies. Ravelympics is an event where you try to complete a project (or finish several works in progress) during the span of the Olympics. I only have a few things to go! It would be nice to … Continue reading
Starting to Finish
I’ve finished two of the projects that I’m hoping to finish in January (or soon anyway)! The first one I finished just before TNNA, my Meandering Mitts! I love how these turned out. Of course, with this Buffalo Gold yarn, you can’t go wrong, but the pattern took a bit of getting used to with … Continue reading
