10 Skills I Want My Children to Have Before They Leave for College
Today is Sunday, the day I post about our family and our lives. My children are growing up. We cannot deny it, we have to support them and help them be the best people that they can be. I have read several memes on Facebook lately and several posts from parents and community members asking…
Poutine Baked Potatoes
When we were in Wisconsin recently we visited our favorite cheese store. We always pick up Basil Farmers Cheese and Fresh Cheese Curd. One bag of Cheese Curd was quickly eaten by the time we got home. But, I still had 3 lbs. of it. Of course the kids were thinking of Poutine all the…
Turkey and Honey Ham Cheesy Biscuits
I dread the start of back to school each year. It is so much fun having my kids home but the one thing I will enjoy is being back on a regular schedule. I have been driving to cello camp every morning, dance classes two or three days a week (never the same days week…
Old Fashioned Skillet Potatoes and Kielbasa
There are times you have to make due with what you have on hand. We are still trying to be frugal as we still have half a month left before payday and there is still so much we want to do before school starts. And there are all those pesky things you have to buy…
Slow Cooker Cowboy Beans

Egg Roll Bowl
We have our room on a separate air conditioner because our room was added on several years ago but not hooked up to the main system. So, everyone has been sleeping in our room. We are basically camping in our room. What you can’t see it that this dish was pictured on my bed. Yes,…
Grilled Chicken with Garlic Cheese Sauce
Well, our air conditioner is officially dead. We have some people coming towards the end of this week to give us quotes on a new one. We are all still sleeping in one room despite it being a bit cooler during the days. Unfortunately there are no trees around our house for natural cooling. We…
Spaghetti Sauce or Sunday Gravy
I have been thinking quite a bit about instincts lately. You know that little voice deep down inside you. Intuition. A gut feeling. Jiminy Cricket. We all have it. Sometimes we ignore it but sometimes we can’t avoid it because it keeps coming back again and again. The times I KNEW I should have turned…
Back to School
Sunday is the day I talk about my family. Who we are and why we chose to do the things we do. Yes, those are some decorations from our town last fall. Autumn is coming far too quickly for me. I see many posts about children going back to school and it makes me sad….
