Cake Classes…
I mentioned in an earlier post that Courtney and I have been taking some classes together. Don’t laugh….remember these are our first “Wilton method” cakes…. 😀 This is the poinsettia cake we made for our church fellowship in December. The flowers are completely edible! O.K., not a “Wilton” cake- this is another cake we made for our church fellowship. I’ve…
Graduation Fiesta
I’m still catching up pics and posts. These are from Courtney and Joshua’s recent graduation fiesta: Courtney painted the cute sign! Ben waiting for guests to arrive. He was SO excited! Littles playing in the library while the adults were talking in the family room.
Frugal Fun!
Courtney and I have been on a dollar store/thrift store crafting kick lately. These are a few projects from last week– We found some old sweaters that I had actually intended for the thrift store. They were too worn to wear, but I did love the cuffs and remembered this idea from a blog post long ago: CANDLE SWEATERS! They…
Garlic Smashed Potatoes
Growing up, I guess I always took for granted that my Mom always made mashed potatoes from real (whole!) potatoes. They were so yummy…I always looked forward to them when they were being served.

Happy Thursday! My name is Courtney, I am the oldest of the eight children here. I am posting for my mom today. Today as I was hanging our laundry out, I happened to notice something in the sky. It was made from the gases that pour out of the back of airplanes to make letters or shapes. The one I…
Blessings…
Today, I’m posting for Mom, because she isn’t feeling very well.It is going to be a short posting, because we have a lot to do. The picture is the picture of the booklet they gave her to explain about her wisdom teeth. This being said, I’m going to write a little on how to be a blessing to others in…
Reducing Expenses
The beginning of this year, I really began to pray and ask the Lord to show me areas of my home where I needed to spend time making sure that we were making the most of what we had. My grocery budget was the first thing He placed on my heart. Over time, I began to eliminate things I had…
