This week was the start of the SITS Girls and Click it up a notch’s Pin-tastic Pinterest Photography Challenge. Click here to read all about it.
Today’s assignment was to take advantage of the “golden hour.” A storm is rolling in right now so instead of waiting for that perfect sunlight I went outside and took advantage of the pre-storm lighting, cool, clean-smelling air, and the creation of an egg.
Here’s a quick homeschooling tip. The next time you’re flipping through a magazine instead of tossing all those subscription cards, also known as blow-ins, into the recycling bin why not put them to work?
Blow-ins make perfect practice tools for writing your name, address, and phone number. Yes the type is small and it might be difficult for some little hands to write on the lines, but it’s still fun and practical!
I’ve started to collect them and when I need a Mommy break I’ll pull a couple out and have the kids get to work ordering more magazines!

I like to share stories like this one!
One of my goals this year is filling my freezer and pantry with good foods that have been grown and nurtured in our own backyard. Over the years I’ve learned a number of great tips from books, friends, and my own experiences so it seems only fitting that I would share those things here with you.
This week we’re discussing seeds and why it DOES matter where you get them.
Have you ever had one of those weeks when so many things are happening at once and it’s not really a bad thing but you still feel like you’re being run over by a giant eyeball? This is one of those weeks for me!
So I thought I’d share a recent craft fail. It involves Craftsy, expanding foam, and my eternal lack of restraint.
Yes, I said popcorn! Remember a couple of posts back I mentioned a certain retro cookbook that had apparently been sitting on my bookshelf for some time now? Well, this was one of the many recipes that caught my eye and I knew the next time we made popcorn I’d have to sit some aside for these out-of-the-ordinary muffins!
While they are savory, it’d only take a handful of chocolate chips, dried fruit, or a vanilla glaze to turn them to the dark sweet side. Hope you enjoy them!
At the beginning of the month I found this awesome cake pan at the outlet mall. Do you remember these? It brought back memories of rice cereal treats and yummy brownies. Even though the lid didn’t slide, thankfully it pops on and off, I knew I had to get at least one! Once I got it home I noticed that the top showed fingerprint smudges and it just looked too plain. Mod Podge to the rescue!
