Tour de la Mess-a

July 27, 2010 in Making our House a Home, Mommy Musings

I haven’t really kept up with my plan to give you a “Tuesday Tour” of how I am “Making our House a Home” for several weeks. There are several reasons I could give you for this….like the fact that I haven’t done anything worth showing in the past few weeks [...]

Incredible Peach Pie

July 19, 2010 in Mom 2 Mom

$0.47/lb. peaches at the local farmer’s market call for peach pie…and this is such a yummy recipe, I just had to share. Mix 3 c. flour and 1 c. Crisco, until crumbly. It works best of you cut the Crisco into the flour with your fingers. Then beat 1 egg, [...]

A Wonderful Gift

July 17, 2010 in Mommy Musings

As far as days go, today wasn’t shaping up to be one of the finest. Actually, it started out pretty “poopy”…really. I was at the sink doing dishes and looked up to Josiah playing in the living room. He was standing over a miniature cow pie and had poo running [...]

Gone Fishing

July 13, 2010 in Mommy Musings

At its Finest

July 12, 2010 in Mommy Musings

When you are one year old, the world is so big… and bright… So colorful… and exciting… It still is, but sometimes it spins so fast we almost miss it. Things move slower in the country. I think that is why I love the ranch. Just a few days into [...]

A Snack Time Craft: Celery-Carrot Cars

July 11, 2010 in Mom 2 Mom

I remember making these little cars when I was a child. Last week, while at the ranch, I noticed that we had all the necessary ingredients/components and decided to pull it back out for Josiah. It is a fun little activity you may want to try with your kids! Here [...]

We’re back.

July 11, 2010 in Mommy Musings

We spent the last several days (almost 2 weeks) at Grandpa Doc’s ranch (Brush Creek Ranch). It is a crazy beautiful wonderful place that we would love to someday call home. – Loads of laundry, grocery shopping, unpacking, cleaning, and sifting through the huge stack of mail that was waiting [...]
