New Dinner and My Kitchen!

So last night I decided to try something new for dinner! It was Apple Stuffing Pork Chops. Even though none of us really care for stuffing it turned out rather yummy. You layer a pan with apple pie filling than pork chops then stuffing. I served it with brown sugared carrots and whipped mashed potatoes. I don't like lumps LOL! I then went crazy cleaning my kitchen and thought since I hardily … [Read more...]

{Falling Leaves}

This is our back yard I should really take a pic from our bedroom to really get the effects of the colors in the trees. With the sun shining so brightly behind them it hard to really see the color. That's my boy practicing soccer near our fire pit for smores. I know I rarely post pics of my kiddos on here (something about pasting them on the internet, I have a family one for that LOL) but I … [Read more...]

Our Carved Pumpkins!

The other day the kids & I went pumpkin picking. We carved our pumpkins just the other night. We got the templates free online from The Pumpkin Lady. I had bought one of those pattern books that came with the tools last year. We made some cool pumpkins from it. I didn't feel like spending the $5 on the book again especially since I had washed and saved the pumpkin tools. So, I searched online … [Read more...]

Spice up your business!

So I was chatting with hubby and showing my new business cards that Connie made me, she has an Etsy Store also. And he said well that doesn't stand out to me for a paper person. And at first I was upset b/c I thought he was saying he didn't like the card, but then he went on to explain that they should be something I make since I am a paper person. So, at first I matted it and he said okay. And … [Read more...]
