Laundry Room Remodel

Home Remodeling In mid-2019 we decided it was time to update our laundry room which is also our kitchen pantry. One of the previous owners had installed built-in shelves, but they were starting to sag and had no adjustability. The shelves were stationary and couldn’t move up or down. Some of them were super deep

Crock Pot Roast

Crock Pot Roast

  It definitely is beginning to look and feel like fall outside. The perfect week for crock pot meals. I made this pot roast yesterday and decided to update my recipe. I did NOT use the Lipton Soup Mix this time (the picture below is from last year). Instead I substituted my Wildtree Absolutely Onion

Someone did not want to be left out of the “first day” photos when he moved up to the 4-year old room yesterday. I hadn’t even thought of it, but when we got back home in the afternoon he asked for his garage door photo. HA!

Back-to-School Eve

My kids are in bed, Stella’s backpack is packed. I sit down at my computer and I’m itching to blog. I can tell the end of summer is near. I have PTA and back-to-school paperwork duties to fulfill tonight. However, my “to-blog-about” list is long. Too long. But another list is short. 14?? Only fourteen? FOR

Mac and Cheese

Mac and Cheese

Macaroni and cheese is one of my all-time favorite side dishes. However, until last weekend, I had never made it from scratch. I always fell victim to the quick box version. My mom has made mac and cheese numerous times, but never the same recipe. So I didn’t have a family favorite recipe used over and
