As you may know, I took the Community of Mom’s Blog Dare–write a blog post every day for one year. I’m 35 days in.

If there was one thing I hated as a child, it was going to the dentist. His name was Dr. Kennedy. He was old (well, he probably wasn’t but he seemed like it to me). He had shaky hands (so maybe he was old).

I made this dish for a church potluck on Sunday and it went over very well! My kids all enjoy it and it’s one of my husband’s favorite meals. Enjoy!

Don’t you just love it when you stumble on a great idea? I do!
Time savers, money savers, energy savers (both electrical and human), maybe even sanity savers.
I have a couple I thought I’d share with you, but I’m selfishly hoping you’ll share yours with me.
Fresh and Free Bread Crumbs
I’ve always thought it was a huge [...]

It’s almost mid-February. We live in Michigan. It’s supposed to be cold and we’re supposed to get snow.
