Ok, one can never really be a lapsed Irish person. Because that shit’s in our blood and bone and meat. Yes. I am Irish, and Norwegian. And a little bit of a lot more things that I just barely claim. But today, I am all Irish. And I’m ashamed to say that in my 38 … Continue reading
I’m the first one to admit when I have made a mistake (usually). And I make more than my fair share of mistakes for sure. I’m not a perfect parent, by society’s standards, not by far. I am, however, the perfect mother for my children. Which leads me to the topic of this blog post. … Continue reading
I know I know. I’ve been MIA for a while. NO EXCUSES!!! That’s my new motto. Except that I have two excuses. 1. I started selling Scentsy Fragrance. Which has kept me busier than I had thought it would (YAY!) And 2. I started Ferrell’s eXtreme Body Shaping. Which pretty much takes up my evenings. … Continue reading
One of my fondest memories of my mom was when we canned tomatoes every year. We went early Saturday mornings to the Riverside Round House market in Czech Village..

You’d think that today after having pinched my butt cheek on the cracked toilet seat, running late for getting B to school, running all over town trying to cash a check only to find all the credit unions that I bank at CLOSED (on two different sides of town no less) having my daughter run … Continue reading
Since I’m awake anyway, and my cat is giving me dirty looks for keeping him awake (um he’s the one that woke me up in the FIRST PLACE at 2:30 AM!) I thought I might as well post a blog that I’ve been wanting to post. I don’t have a lot of photos, and … Continue reading
It’s a rainy day here in Iowa. As my son calls it, this is “duck weather.” I can’t argue with that. And what is better on a chilly rainy day than a hot bowl of soup? Not much. This soup can’t be canned, but it can be frozen if you have a lot of tomatoes … Continue reading
I finally found a laundry soap recipe that I love! I have tried another, and wasn’t crazy about it. It left my clothes kinda stinky after a while, and didn’t seem to rinse out. But this one, this is a keeper. This will make a small 2.64 lb container of soap. Which in our case … Continue reading
