A family, food, and craft blog
Wow, can you believe September is almost over? Seriously, wasn’t it just the middle of summer? If you missed my summer review posts that I caught up on last week, they are all linked at the bottom of this post. The weather where I live has been just beautiful this month with temperatures in the 70s and the leaves have started to change. September’s Fix was another good fix with beautiful colors and items that would be perfect to transition into fall. [Read more…]
The crazy summer busyness continued through August. At our house, we celebrated my birthday, two of my daughters’ birthdays, the one year anniversary of this blog, sent my oldest daughter off to college, and started a new school year. Now that I have time again during the day, I can finally finish my Stitch Fix Reviews from the summer. Each box had such cute options this summer that I didn’t want to skip anything! This box had several items that could easily transition into my Fall wardrobe. [Read more…]
Thanks to the busyness of summer, all of my reviews from the past few months are getting posted together. 😀 Lots of cute clothes to look through, and several items that will work for your Fall wardrobe too! Links to June and August are at the bottom of this post. [Read more…]
The last few months have been a little crazy. Lots of yard work, end of school activities, my oldest daughter’s graduation, summer activities made life busy. Finding time to write posts has been a struggle, but it is time to jump back into blogging again! With warmer temperatures on the way, I decided my wardrobe was in need of more short-sleeved summer tops for my June Fix. I had the same stylist as my May Fix. My stylist listened to my previous feedback and really delivered for June. They also did a fabulous job keeping everything in my price range. I knew this month would be tough deciding what to keep.

Do you dream of tropical beaches, visiting theme parks, or experiencing new cultures in faraway lands? How about relaxing at a resort or sharing new experiences with your family? Having the freedom to travel when or how often you want? We love to take trips as a family but we don’t get to do it very often. Traveling with a family of six can be crazy expensive. Most of our trips are short distances from home once or twice a year, with a bigger vacation every few years. [Read more…]
Camping season is underway, so I wanted to share one of our favorite camping recipes. We made them on our first camping trip many years ago and they quickly became a family favorite. After many years of camping, we sold our camp trailer last summer but we still like to make these Marshmallow Eclairs in our backyard firepit. [Read more…]
The weather is finally warming up, and I am ready to make the transition to summer clothes. When I peeked at my Fix this month, I didn’t immediately love it. My usual stylist was taking time off this month, and the new stylist was trying to get me out of my comfort zone. Sometimes that is a good thing and sometimes it isn’t. 🙂 Once I tried everything on, I liked most of it. [Read more…]
To me, the perfect chocolate chip cookie is soft and chewy with just the right amount of chocolate. I have tried different recipes for chocolate chip cookies over the years but never found a favorite. One day, I made some small changes to a recipe that I found on the back of a bag of store brand chocolate chips, and I finally found our family favorite. They are simple to make and turn out perfect every time!
Spring has finally arrived and April’s Fix was full of beautiful colors! I peeked at the Stitch Fix app before it arrived and absolutely LOVED everything in my Fix. Once again, my stylist did an amazing job choosing pieces for me and I knew it was going to be hard to decide. Without seeing it all in person, I really wanted to keep everything. [Read more…]
My mom’s carrot cake was always a favorite when we were growing up. It is moist and delicious, and the frosting is just heavenly. Years ago, I bought a boxed carrot cake mix thinking it would be the same. I will never make that mistake again! I have also tried carrot cakes from several different stores and NOTHING comes close to this carrot cake. [Read more…]
