Recipe ~ Polish Pickled Eggs and Beets

When I first started dating my husband, his mother had this great friend named Rose. Rose spent every holiday with Doug’s family, she was basically part of the family. Every Easter she made Polish pickled eggs and beets, and perogies. Doug’s Step Father, Bernie, loved them all! One year at Christmas I got Rose to tell me how she made the eggs and beets, and I wrote it down. There weren’t any measurements, it was really more by feel (taste?) … Read more

Recipe ~ Hard Boiled / Cooked Eggs in the Oven!

So this is a bit late for Easter 2013, but bookmark it or pin it and come back as you need! You can find the master list of all my recipes here, and you can find them all pinned here. This isn’t so much a recipe as a technique, and I certainly didn’t come up with it myself, I just want to share the joy with all of you! I used to hard boil eggs (put them in boiling water), … Read more

Just another Wednesday

Wednesday always seem so busy around here. Doug doesn’t get home until 11pm or later, so I line up plenty to get done. Sometime what I get done is relaxing and painting my nails, but more often then not, it is paperwork, computer work, or yarn work. Today it was a lot of the last three.

Just Hanging Around, Part 1

I started a new project on Sunday. Because what I need is a new project. I should be able to finish it tomorrow. In my defense, it is a project that will make an existing project easier.

I started by collecting all the supplies I thought I would need. All stuff found in my garage. OK, the deck posts were laying in the pile of deck wood outside my garage, but the rest was in there.

Easter and other fun!

The text here will be short, one handed typing is no fun.

I couldn’t resist taking this picture one morning just before Easter. The girls were just too adorable.

Here we have the girls the day before Easter. First time painting eggs. I think they are awesome.

Two Cute!

I have just way too many adorable pictures of the girls from the past month or two, so I thought I would share them with you. If nothing else, it will make my parents happy.

We love to walk in the park down the street.

Thanksgiving – a little late

I’ve notice my last few posts have been woefully lacking in snaps of cute little girls. I also seem to have missed sharing Thanksgiving with you. So let me remedy both of those now with a (rather late) Thanksgiving post.

It was the smallest Thanksgiving I have been to in many years. Doug, the girls and I went over to Doug’s mothers. It was us, Doug’s mother, stepfather, grandmother, uncle Tom, older brother David and younger brother Tim. His sister Alyson was not there, but she lives a few states away and had just been up the week before and is coming up again for Christmas.

Once we got there, the girls felt right at home. Vada ran in circles around the house, Christmas toys popped around her wrist for a ride.

Kyla was up to her latest game, pretending to be a cat. Isn’t she a cute little kitty? She even meows and likes to have her head scratched. It’s very amusing. The best is when she crawls up to her sister and meows, and then Vada pets her head. So cute!

Getting ready for the big round guy.

In an attempt to save some money, and satisfy my creative side, I have lots of homemade happenings for that day a week before the New Year; the day of the Big Round Guy. For now it is mostly jar gifts. This was my table a few weeks ago making 72 cups of banana bread mix.

Of course I didn’t have all the jars yet, so then I had to stash all that mix, and all the ingredients I had for other mixes, somewhere. Yeah for those new bookshelves!
