Delicious Slow Roasted Beef Brisket

Last year I ordered one of those grass-fed steers from a local farm in my area.  Seriously, one of the best things we ever did.  We got A LOT of fresh beef at a cost that was better than what you pay per pound out a grocery store and the meat was fresher, leaner, safer, […]

Homemade English Muffin Raisin Bread

Fresh from my Grandmother’s own recipes is a the most delicious english muffin raisin bread.  I always get a craving for it on cold winter days.  I dont know what it is, but the smell of freshly made bread floating through your home gives such a wonderful comfortble feeling… for me it really is the […]

Preschool: Letter K

I found some fun letter K activities to do with the kiddos when it was my turn to teach preschool last month.  Don’t ask why I am just not posting them… life just gets busy! Anyway, we read the story of Humpty Dumpty during circle time after we had talked about the letter K.  It […]

Peanut Butter Frosted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies!

So it’s my Dad’s birthday and I am in charge of bringing the cake.  Yeah!  Good thing, because I have really been craving some peanut butter chocolatey goodness and I am certain no ordinary cake would quench it.  So how to encompass all the baked yumminess into one cake?  Well, just that…. combine it all!  […]

My Valentine Surprise

I have the best six year old ever!  He woke me up today at 630am… yes you read that right.  6:30am!!!!  He snuck into my room when it was still dark out.  I heard him whispering over to me, “Mom, I made you a Valentine.  It has a note on it, but you can’t see it in […]

L is for Ladybug!!!

We had so much fun learning the letter L with our preschool class.  (For those new readers, I have a preschool swap program with a couple friends that have kids the same age as mine.  We trade off who teaches every couple weeks.  It really works out great!)  So it was mine turn to teach […]

Photo Valentine’s Card! Adorable!

My six year old never attended official preschool.  I sort of did my own thing and worked with him at home.   At the beginning of the school year my little monkey came home and wouldn’t tell me what he learned.  He said I wouldn’t know what it was anyway.  I assured him that I had […]

Easy and Delicious Challah Bread!

So have I mentioned that I pretty much love anything from the Lion House Bakery?  This bakery is most famous for its breads, pies, and desserts.  Anything you get from here is going to be good!  I recently posted a crepe recipe from the Lion has as well that my family has been using for […]

Have a Lion Jungle Party!

I feel everyone is always looking for fun birthday party ideas for preschoolers.  Once they are in grade school the kids seem to have their own ideas of what they want for their birthday parties.  So why not have a Lion Jungle Party.  This party was awesome and very inexpensive! We decorated the house with […]

Spider Scare Rehabilitation!

So I have a problem… I have a hard time saying no.  I just want to be helpful.  People know this about me and ask me to help with the strangest things.  It is probably because they could not find anyone else to ask that would say yes.  Haha. So anyway, I was recently asked […]
