Thanksgiving 2009

Nothing I love more than food and family. The meal was delicious. HUGE thanks to Nancy and Hugh for doing 99% of the work. We appreciate all the service and love you give to us and the whole family and only hope we can repay you someday. I made a couple pumpkin pies and a...

Instant Oatmeal

In celebration of it being Monday, I wanted to share with you my favorite discovery….instant oatmeal on airplanes! It doesn’t matter if I just ate a huge meal, I step onto an airplane and am hungry. Sometimes I get fancy and make food and bring it, but other times I fall prey to airport food...

Wishbone

Weeks ago, when I was making my 20 quarts of chicken stock, I spyed this little wishbone.

Fearing Grant would catch on to the surprise, I...

Are You Happy?

Bought this here a couple of weeks ago. Seems like a good question. It never hurts to be reminded that if you aren’t happy you have the choice to change something. I firmly believe true happiness is a choice, and now I can look at a pretty piece of art to remind myself.

Look for photos from their Newport Beach/Huntington Beach wedding day in the next few...

Good Morning Dance Party

Props to my 8yr old niece for getting this song stuck in our minds. Yesterday morning we had, had enough. We purchased it and then played it on repeat for about 30mins. Who knew that Miley Cyrus would make it into my music collection? Sometimes I guess we all need a good addictive pop song...

Fan Club

I made this wee little book for my sister to take with her on her mission. It is 5x5in (the perfect size to fit.. anywhere really. I wanted her to be able to keep it close). It has photos of all of the fan club members and words of encouragement. Really I think the best...
