Homemade Kettle Corn

By Angela | Published: November 18, 2011
Darren:  “What are you making?” Me:  “Kettle Corn.” “Where did you buy it?” “You don’t buy it, you make it.” “I’m pretty sure you need a special pan for that, that keeps it from burning.” “They didn’t say anything about a special pan.” “Who’s they?” “You know, the blogland people.” “Hmm.” “All the instructions are [...]

Happy Birthday to Brandon

By Angela | Published: October 9, 2011
Life is spinning by like a merry-go-round on hyper speed.  Somtimes it’s so much fun I can hardly contain myself and somtimes I think I might be sick.  This Saturday was one of those sick types of days with 4 soccer games, orchestra and selling cubscout popcorn in between.  But these kids are so amazing, it’s worth a [...]

Italian Eggplant Bake

By Angela | Published: September 5, 2011
We spent the weekend farm sitting for Darren’s parents.  Two calves were born while we were there–so cute! I’ll  admit that I came “this close” to throwing a tantrum while we were preparing to leave to go there.  I had a lot of things to do at home and I felt like I needed some [...]

New Adventures with Gum Paste

By Angela | Published: August 9, 2011
I decided to create my daughter’s birthday cake’s decorations from Gum Paste this year.  I’ve wanted to try it for years and finally dug in.  I made my own red and green gum paste from wilton’s glucose and gum-tex.  I made the white from Marshmallows and gum-tex.  While they both taste okay, the marshmallow gum paste is by [...]

Goodbye Fritz

By Angela | Published: July 18, 2011
I had to make the hard choice today to give Fritz a new home.  Life is overwhelming right now and as much as I loved him, it was one area I could simplify.  He requires being sheared every 2 months and recently I’ve been putting it off too long until he gets matted all over.  He [...]

Last Day of Family Month

By Angela | Published: June 30, 2011
Where did June go?  Ours went to family camp and swimming lessons.  I’m hoping the rest of the summer is a little more…well…lazy.  On the blog here, I scheduled to venture into the land of freezer cooking.  But first I’m going to run a series on frugal beauty treatments.  If you have experience in either subject that [...]

Family Night

By Angela | Published: June 29, 2011
I admire LDS Monday night Family Home Evenings.  As a church they set aside that night to plan a speical worship and family activities in their homes.  Whatever you may think of their religious beliefs, when you meet an LDS youth, you can expect them to be modest, clean living, and have a close family bond.  I’ve [...]
