We were amazed to watch this transformation over the past few days...from caterpillar found on a carrot plant, to gorgeous Black Swallowtail! I remember capturing caterpillars as a kid, but I don...
I do love a good savory bread pudding. With an abundance of chard in the garden, I made this tonight and it was totally yummy. I think that there's a rule that you're not supposed to post p...
I will admit, this morning we were singing Christmas songs...We were inspired by the arrival of the new issue of Holiday Crafts magazine, where you can find my little snowbirds on page 66! I was so h...

So yesterday, I was home alone for a whopping 3 1/2 hours. Gasp! The girls were at Nana's, and the goal was to get some work done. But man, all I wanted to do was bake. When I get the house to m...

I was soooo excited to make this cake for St. Patty's Day. But my bundt pan let me down. My trusty old bundt pan, that usually produces glossy, lovely cakes, failed me! Or, it could have been ...
This is a fun old book that I picked up awhile ago Those bunnies and chicks would be super cute to put in an Easter basket!
Oh, the toys. I try to weed them out when no one is looking, but they seem to multiply like rabbits. I don't know what those toys are up to at night! Check out these cute toy chests and baskets...
