Enjoying Your 10 Cows

This is another in our Best Blogs of 2016 series previously posted on Figuring Out The Plot. My friend Jerry is quite the philosopher. You might not expect this if you saw him, as he would likely be wearing boots and jeans, talking to you with an unassuming smile, and maybe drinking a Natty Light.

Closet Project 2017

For years, I have seen this idea online around New Years.  You turn all of the hangers in your closet around backwards.  When you wear something, you hang it back up with the hanger facing correctly.  Then, you can really tell what you wear and what you don’t.  After a year, you can get rid

BB’s Birth Story

I figured since I shared LL’s birth story, I should move BB’s to this new blog too.  As you will see, far less dramatic (and far less quick) than LL! I hesitated to do a birth story blog. For years I’ve cringed at the thought of reading anything another person writes that contains words like

Couponing Apps: Ibotta

I love me some coupons.  But it seems like the coupons coming in the Sunday paper like in the good ol’ days has passed.  Recently, I got started using a few online couponing apps.  It’s the same idea as clipping from the paper, just more high tech.  My favorite is Ibotta. I have been using

Marry the Good Guy

This weekend, I was grumpy.  Husband was not home much.  Instead, he was busy helping kids at a local livestock jackpot.  And as I tried to keep our two kids (15 months and 2 months) alive and hour house standing and food cooked, it was fairly easy for me to get annoyed that he was

Little House Tour (Kids’ Room)

Today we will continue our tour of our little house.  (If you missed the first post, click here.)  We only have 3 bedrooms and since we live in a town with no hotels, keeping a guest room was important to me.  So, we decided for now the kids would share a room.  It’s small, but

Recipe Card: Rozann’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have eaten my share of chocolate chip cookies.  One of my earliest childhood memories is baking cookies with my Gran.  I’ve really never met one I didn’t like. I consider myself a cookie connoisseur. With that said, this is the only recipe I ever use. It came from my dear friend and fellow cookie

Ebates…Yes, Its Legit

Most people have heard of Ebates, which is a website offering cash back when you shop online at certain (just about any) store. When someone first told me, I was sure there had to be a catch, like a fee of some sort.  But, I am a year in and there are no catches. You

2016 Bucket List ✔️

In the midst of raising two babies, I was actually able to rack up a few bucket list checkmarks last year.  ✔️Go to The River Walk in San Antonio.  When I was a kid, every Christmas we would watch a recorded Lawrence Welk special on VHS that my Gran had.  It was shot at the

In Defense of Working Mamas

Today, I will return to work after about 10 weeks of maternity leave.  There are a lot of things about this parenting thing I don’t know, but one thing I am sure of is that I am not meant to be a stay-at-home Mom.  And that’s ok. Some people are, and that is a wonderful,
