It's that time for husband and I to start on our backyard landscaping. Husband has sketched out what we want it to look like. He researched bushes, flowers, trees, and rocks putting into consideration our neighbor's view of the mountains. There were a couple of Japanese blossoms we liked. One would grow to about 30/35...

I love quick and easy noodles soups and I love it from anywhere: restaurants, friend's house, prepackaged, etc. I'm not picky about the type of noodles either. Any type of noodle will work, even spaghetti noodles. What matters to me is flavor. I won't eat it if I can't stand the flavor no matter how... Continue Reading →

We never even knew such a thing existed before then, but after seeing them, we knew it was something we wanted. I've looked online and saw some really neat... Continue Reading →
Spring is officially here! Well, actually the first day of spring was on Sunday, the 20th. Last fall husband planted a bunch of tulips down both sides of the driveway. Within the last few weeks I've checked both sides and didn't see any sign of the tulips coming through. I got worried thinking maybe husband... Continue Reading →
My girls love painting. It's been awhile since they've painted so I decided to get them back into it. I learned a few things from that experience: 1. Layer the wood floor with more than tiny sheets of plastic. 2. Make sure they wear old t-shirts. 3. Have enough hand towels or old cloths available.... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day and I didn't wear any green (and didn't get pinched either, thank-goodness). I don't think I've worn green for the last three St. Patrick's Day. I tried to find pictures of the St. Patrick's parade fr0m 8 years ago to post but couldn't find them. Kida was one at the... Continue Reading →
