Keeping busy on 1200 acres...
The kids are out of school, laughing can be heard coming through my windows, and backyard BBQ's are being scheduled. It's no secret that I love to host gatherings and during the summer is the perfect time to host a gathering. Why is this you ask? Because the weather is nice enough everyone can hang out outside where there is plenty of room for games, chatting, children screaming and a spread of food fit for a king. There are a few dishes which I think are essential to a bbq … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Arby's for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Living in a small rural town one of the things we miss out on is the choice of restaurants, whether it is a sit down restaurant or fast food. One of the things we do have is an Arby's though. Arby's has teamed up with my favorite roll maker, King's Hawaiian, in their new sandwiches and I think I see a lot of Arby's in my future with the two new limited addition sandwiches being added to … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Growing up my mom grew a huge garden, at least a half acre big! That was one big garden that we used to have to pick the peas and beans in, with only a little complaining. I mean what child doesn't love freshe peas and relish in the fact that we were able to pick our fill everyday. Plus all the corn stalks made an amazing hiding place for hiding seek! My mom's garden has shrunk 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...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cooper Tires. All opinions are 100% mine. Spring is in full force for us now and that means it’s time for my husband and I to head out shopping for something we have been putting off for months…tires. The dreaded tire shopping is about to take place. I don’t put to much thought into what tires to buy as my husband takes care of that department but I do notice the price. With the ever rising cost of rubber and materials that means the … [Read more...]
As I mom I never want to be far from my camera, but that's not always possible. Really it's extremely impossible because the boys broke the last two cameras I have bought. I am holding out for a DSLR and until that time my camera happens to be that of my iPhone. This actually works out well because it means that I always have a camera with me. I am guilty of always having my phone within quick reach. I never miss a great photo opportunity that way. While I manage to always snap the cutest … [Read more...]

Phew is it Friday yet? It's been a crazy week around this house. My little one is sick and hasn't been sleeping well, which we all know that means momma isn't sleeping well either.

My husband (and a sitter) will be … [Read more...]

There are 6 new flavors to choose from: Backyard Grilled Potatoes: roasted potatoes with peppers and onions Tuscan … [Read more...]
I had the opportunity to host a Pinypon party earlier today. Do you know what a Pinypon is? Yep, I didn't either. Now, I am so glad that I had the chance to try these little dollies out. My girls had so much fun with these dolls. First, let me tell you...Pinypons are small figurines that you can change out the Hair, Head, Body and Legs. So you could really create quite a unique Pinypon. I think this is what they liked most. The second awesome thing, you can change out the … [Read more...]
