Pudding Top

Pudding Top (adjective): a result from clothing being.....just kidding, this is totally unrelated.

I was eating my lunch today and as I was opening my yogurt I did the unthinkable: I licked the top. 

All good and fine except as I was enjoying my yogurt lid, my coworker walked by and I was caught.in.the.act. 

Oh Cripes.

Well, she stopped and she did the tilt of the head. You know, the tilt of the head that silently asks, "what the heck are you doing?". 

Amidst enjoying my lid, I looked back at her like "Uh, I'm enjoying my yogurt lid...what does it look like?" 

Then I started to think, who doesn't lick their pudding/yogurt/jello lid? 

Maybe my coworker. I should ask her.

There should probably be a study done to see how many people would lick the lid if given a free pudding/yogurt/jello. 

Obviously, I would be with those who licked their lid. 

Nursing Homes & Pot Pies

Pi Day today!

We celebrated Saturday with a chicken pot pie:

This was my first pot pie.

Mark said it was good and that he thought it smelled like a nursing home.

I don't know when he ate pot pie in a nursing home?

Either way, definitely a comfort food and really easy to make!

Happy March!

It's finally March!

(hydrangeas from last year)

Today was beautiful. The sun was shining. 
I love it when the sun shares her beauty with us.


March makes me excited for flowers to bloom, working in the yard, planting a garden, cleaning out the garage (yep), and sitting on the front porch. 


So, in like a lamb and out like a lion?
I'm predicting a post on April 1st with pictures of snow.

Thank you, Grandma Haller!

Grandma Haller graciously gave us her guest room furniture when she moved last July.

Here are some pictures of our 'new and improved' guest room:

The walls are a little nekkked so I'm on the lookout for a craft or wall art.

Ideas welcome! 

 I love this dresser.

  Holy Moley are those drawers heavy!

See that cuuute little chair in the corner? Goodwill: $3.00

Thank You Grandma Haller for the beautiful furniture, we love it!

Happy Birthday, my love

Happy Birthday to my love, my best friend, my hubby!

After working over 90 hours, 

I think you have some super-powers. 

Last years birthday was the same, 

baggy eyes and a crazy mane. 

 I know you would like to hit the hay,
but today's the 8th and today's your day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

not just for grandmas

I'm a 60 year old trapped in a 23rd year old body. Whatev.

$1.50/yard for fabric.
Um... yes, please.

I made these curtains for our 'new' guest room. 

What do you think?

LOVE crafts!

Here's a quick and easy Valentine craft. Great for all ages!

(and cheap too!)

Find some scrapbook paper you like; construction paper or fabric would work too.

Find a small frame. 

(don't you love the heirloom frame I recently picked up at goodwill for $.50?!)

Dump your extra/old scrabble pieces out. Brainstorm a small cross-word.

(my example will be below)

Cut your paper to fit the frame.

I took the glass from the frame and traced around it. If kids are helping, you could trace around the glass and let them do the cutting.

Then, hot glue your letters to the paper. 

I used a straight-edge, it was the perfectionist in me...

Voila!

A cute, inexpensive craft that could also make a great gift!
