If you don’t follow these blogs, you should definitely add them to your weekly reading. They tell great stories, share… [Continue Reading]
2011 has been full of ups and even more downs. Me and the family have been focusing on each-other and our future for the past couple of months and plan to start 2012 fresh in all areas, including financially. We are starting Dave Ramsey’s financial plan beginning of 2012 and that means cutting costs everywhere,… [Continue Reading]
One of the pains that I have to deal with here on the ranch, is the lovely hard-water spots on my dishes. I was always looking for that next product to eliminate them but man, it can get pricey. I was talking to a gal, probably in her 60′s, who was telling me that she… [Continue Reading]
With basketball season in full bloom, dinner starts to become much later in the evening, and that means finding easy meal solutions to get the family fed before it’s already time to hit the hay. We often look for recipes via the Internet, cookbooks, and our friends but don’t forget about the back of products… [Continue Reading]
I will just die if y’alls sink doesn’t ever get like this!! Between everyday cooking and dyes I use for projects & cakes, my sink can get quite messy, actually, flat out gross. And I’ll admit, there are times when I let things sit in the sink for a day and it begins to stain… [Continue Reading]
Well, these Halloween Black Cat Cookies are FAR from perfect but they were definitely a LOT of fun to make! They are a little time consuming but it’s something that you should plan to spend an entire morning or day doing. And I recommend that you make a plan, read all the directions first, and… [Continue Reading]
My husband is a pretty great fella. He’s always done more than what I think most husbands do and cooking is no exception. He loves to cook breakfast for us and he loves to make his beans in the slow cooker. We cook beans and tortillas quite often because it’s a filler and it’s cheap. … [Continue Reading]
In honor of National Hispanic Month, I decided to make Barbacoa. When I googled some Barbacoa recipes, I noticed that almost of them used butt roast but that isn’t how we make it. We use Cacheta de Res, aka, Beef Cheeks and this is the only way I’ve known how to make it. And in… [Continue Reading]
Oh man, making a car themed cake was more of a task than I thought but I have narrowed my issues down to a couple of things that I’ll get to a little later. Truett turned 5 years old today and all I could think about was when my two oldest were that age…and how… [Continue Reading]
I love to cook and I love to find new recipes, but life doesn’t always give me the time and resources for either. There are simply days when I don’t have the time to find something new to cook up or forget the grocery list on the kitchen table when I’m headed to the grocery… [Continue Reading]

You’ll be faced with a new challenge every few weeks and everyone will submit their solutions. It’s all in Walmart’s effort to offer low prices and low cost solutions. It’s a great… [Continue Reading]
Puns are fun huh! Eggs are a staple in our home and man do we go through them like water. We do supper and desserts with them but our top uses revolve around breakfast and snacks. My two oldest boys are 18 and 15. They are athletic and know that eggs are a great source… [Continue Reading]
For the first time in 5 years, all of my boys will be in school. Tyler is a Senior, Toby a Sophomore, and Truett a Pre-k’r. It’s a bittersweet moment you know? The youngest is growing up and one will be graduating. It’s surreal to me right now and all I can think about tonight… [Continue Reading]
