It’s been a while since I shared new projects for you to make easily at home.  I have two, today that I’m just going to tease you with, until I can get the full “how-to” tutorials posted and one that is so simple you won’t need a tutorial. This adorable apron I made for our [...]

The Horrible Truth about Me & Moving

On August 23, 2010, in Family Circus, Home and Garden, by Glenda Embree

Have I mentioned, lately, that I am not a fan of moving?  That I have a strong aversion and dislike for moving?  That on a scale of 1-10, one being the worst, I like moving about -2,000,684?  Oh, I have?  Sorry to be repetitive, but I am having a Monday morning, lack-of-motivation issue.  I MUST [...]

On August 5, 2010, in Giveaways, Home and Garden, by Glenda Embree

When it comes to Christmas trees, I have very specific requirements.  Just ask my family.  – lol  -  A real tree simply isn’t practical for us, but I want an artificial tree that looks as close to real as I can possibly find.  Balsam Hill has so many gorgeous trees, but they have one series [...]

Review & Giveaway: Scentsy Warmer and Fragrance Bars

On July 26, 2010, in Giveaways, Home and Garden, Reviews, by Glenda Embree

We all know it was clearly established, almost back at the beginning of this blog, that I have “a thing” for candles.  I love the way they look, the way they smell, the way they can make a room homey and inviting.  Even better than candles, though, I love my grandbabies!  They are everything that [...]

Crayons on my Couch! (or shirt or wall or…)

On July 15, 2010, in Family Circus, Home and Garden, In the Kitchen, by Glenda Embree

A cry for help, from someone dear, sent me searching the world-wide web, this morning to find effective ways to remove crayon from fabric.  There are an astronomical number of websites with tips and suggestions, but did you know Crayola, themselves, has an entire guide devoted to helping us remove their products from places our [...]

The Tomatoes are Coming! The Tomatoes are Coming!

On June 19, 2010, in Gardening, Home and Garden, by Glenda Embree

One if by land and two if by sea — well not really, but with the crazy amounts of rain we’ve been having, you can never be too sure. Lots of rain and cooler than average weather put a lot of energy into growing strong, lush plants — but not much in the way of [...]

… How Does Your Garden Grow

On May 28, 2010, in Gardening, Home and Garden, by Glenda Embree

Until this past week, our weather has been so cool and rainy, I was beginning to think we would only be able to grow lettuce and spinach, this year. But true to Nebraska form, the weather turned quite abruptly and we experienced the first days hot enough to send my trembling finger to the thermostat [...]

On April 14, 2010, in Budget-wise, Home and Garden, by Glenda Embree

I’ve come across so many good household tips lately, that I decided they warrant a separate blog post.  I love ideas for saving money and time on the things I need or have to do anyway.  So far, I haven’t got any words of wisdom on how to make a teenager hit the hamper with [...]
