This is a sponsored post on behalf of Popcorners. I did receive a sample to facilitate this review but that did not influence my thoughts.** It is summer time in Arizona. If you know anything about Arizona you know that summer is not to be messed with. Last week alone we hit 119 degrees! That sends most people run screaming to the hills and I don't blame them. So what do those of us that are crazy enough to stay here in Phoenix? There is only really two things to do (when you have … [Read more...]
Summer is in full swing around here and I don't know about at your house but friends of mine are already getting the "I am bored" comments. Oh this funny little cycle that I just hope never happens in my house, someone please reassure me it will never happen. If the I am bored syndrome is hitting your house you can put one of these 9 Summer Fun Kid Crafts to use. Create a necklace for grandma with ease and I don't know about you but I can't pass up homemade slime. I don't understand how … [Read more...]
Father's Day is right around the corner and for those of us who slightly procrastinate (like myself) there are a few ideas that can be finished before this Sunday and nobody will ever know you weren't actually ready (don't read that Cory!). Whether it's dinner, treats or a homemade gift we have you covered. Candy Bar Poems are always huge hit and the Grill Hands mitts are probably one of my favorite. Cory doesn't wear grill mitts but if he did I know he would be getting a … [Read more...]

Did you know that a medium sized potato has only 90 calories and more potassium than a banana? Potatoes are actually really healthy it's all a matter of what we do to them that ruins their health value. We sure know how to take a 90 calorie potato and turn it into over 500 in the blink of an eye. As a potato farmer's wife I can do just about anything with potatoes. I even have a brownie recipe with them that I will share with you soon, I can't believe it's take me this as it is! Also, as … [Read more...]
About Molly Brown House Museum Free Days 2013 As more and more historic properties were demolished in the 1960s, a group of preservation-minded Denver citizens joined efforts in 1970 to rescue the home of Titanic survivor Margaret Tobin Brown. The group incorporated as Historic Denver, Inc. and began major restoration efforts in order to return the home’s interior and exterior to its early 20th century grandeur. Guided tours of the Museum reach an average of 45,000 visitors a year, … [Read more...]
As I will tell you a couple of times today my husband is a meat and potatoes man, specifically red meat. I have found that he loves anything to do with red meat as long as he is not really the one who has to cook it. I mean he has no problems cooking cheeseburgers and a delicious steak but anything needing more steps than two just isn't going to happen. While I love to cook and am constantly adding recipes to my arsenal it can get a bit mundane in our house. It seems we eat a ton of tacos, … [Read more...]
May showers bring in the holiday of Mother's Day. For many this brings up thoughts of homemade gifts and breakfast in bed that the husband and kiddos cooked. Boy do I hope the trend in my house changes because we generally have someone sick or another matter that out ways Mother's Day. For the last 5 years all I have wanted for Mother's Day is breakfast in a restaurant. Breakfast is my favorite meal to eat out because, well really it's my favorite meal, period. Breakfast in a restaurant … [Read more...]
Teacher Appreciation week starts May 6th - 10th and I am all into it this year. While I was doing my student teaching I had a mom who made each day of the week special for her childrens teachers and it really made an impact. If I can get my stuff together this week Coulter's teachers will be receiving one of these adorable tote bags (tutorial by Missouri Star Quilt Company) on that Thursday (we have a 4 day school week). I had better get my butt in gear because I have yet to start. … [Read more...]
My family loves cookies! For them it's easy to grab and go and for me it's easy to put into Cory's lunches during the summer. He eats at home most days but there are a few days that I have to pack a lunch for. Cookies are a must, especially when one of the boys gets to go and has to have a packed lunch. It's kind of the bribery to get my husband to take one of the boys through lunch. The boys are ready to go regardless, but sometimes Cory needs a little extra incentive. I have my normal stand by … [Read more...]
Summer will be here before you know it and for me that means my desire for cooking goes down. It is hot outside and then it's hot in my house and the last thing I really want is to heat the house up with the oven or stand over a boiling pot. Summer also means sports, play dates at the pool and park and in general just running. It's easy for me to put an average of 4,000 a miles a month on my Yukon, especially during summer. One more reason why I use my crock pot more during the … [Read more...]
