I got the idea to make slime from The Rookie Moms, which also happens to be one of my favorite parenting blogs. It was super easy to make and far less messy that some of the other actives my son and I engage in. Plus, it keeps so well in the refrigerator that you can use [...]

If you follow me on facebook, you might have already seen this. I put it up to show everybody my latest project. But, I quickly took it down because my sister got worried that my mum might see it before I had a chance to give it to her. I’m happy to say that I [...]

Growing up, we almost always had apple butter in the house. We primarily enjoyed it on hash browns or potato pancakes (if you haven’t tried that, you simply must!) I also loved spreading it on Ritz crackers and (don’t tell) eating it straight out of the jar by the spoonful. I think my mum bought [...]

I know pumpkin is top dog this time of year, but apples are one of my favorite flavors of fall. My family goes to The Apple Works orchard in Trafalgar, Ind. several times a year to pick up apples. They start coming in around Labor Day and can last till about March (just in time [...]

I was visiting a friend the other day and I couldn’t help but cringe when my 12 month old made a mess on her glass table. But she assured me it was no big deal and pulled out a package of Windex wipes. I remember thinking how handy they were, but wondered just how expensive [...]

My sister taught me two very important lessons about baking. 1. Always use real butter…not margarine. 2. Follow the recipe. Um, that whole following the recipe thing always trips me up. Not sure why, but I have such a hard time following directions. It’s this difficulty that caused me to fail at my first attempt [...]

Do you follow Money Saving Mom? She has an amazing DIY section on her site that has really inspired me. In fact, I came across this post about a year ago in which she challenged herself to try a home-made project every month. I thought it was a great idea, but at the time I [...]
