Do you remember on Friday, when I told you how excited I was that we were going to have our first Spring Break here in a million years with beautiful weather? Well, apparently Mr Weatherman is a big fat liar: Friday was nice out, and the first half of Saturday ... then it got cold and started pouring rain (which then turned into hail for a good portion of the day). Then Sunday, it was freezing -- as in Shanna-could-not-use-her-paint-sprayer-like-she-planned-to freezing. Yesterday, it was in ... VIEW POST
Easter Egg Trees
Easter Peeps Wreath
When I was little, my grandma would buy all of us grandkids Peeps for our Easter baskets. Remember Peeps? Those little sugar-covered marshmallows, shaped like little chicks? As a kid, I was obsessed with them, and now they make my teeth hurt just looking at them. Even though you couldn't pay me to eat them today, I still get a feeling of nostalgia when I see them in the store. When I was at Michael's a few weeks ago, I saw little boxes of what looked like fuzzy little peeps, and I ... VIEW POST
The Harlequin Table and How My Dog Nearly Killed Me
Topher, the unnamed child, and I were all out to dinner the other night discussing the pups. A story came up, that I think I tried to block-out, about how Gracie bolted out the front door and played a "fun game" of chase with a crazy woman (me), a minister, two construction workers, and a school bus full of gawking children (and one mortified one). Back when I worked outside the home, mornings were fairly chaotic for us. One morning, as I was halfway ready (as in I had on my nice blouse, ... VIEW POST

My Newest Favorite Things
I don't spend a lot of money on myself. When I worked outside the home I did. I was always bringing home new clothes and products. Now that I'm home all of the time, I just don't have the money or the time to do that. If I spend money it is usually for the unnamed child, for the pups, or for the house. I am not big on trying something, and then if it doesn't work out throw it in a drawer, and then get something new. I like to get other people's opinions ahead of time, whether something ...

My Anti-Green Thumb (and my Feta and Cheddar Casserole)
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gro-ables for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Growing-up, I always hated the units in Science where I had to grow something. The teacher would pass around a bunch of seeds, all the other kids would get so excited about filling-up their make-shift planters (typically an old egg carton) with dirt, planting their seeds, tending to their crop of beans, and reaping the bounty of their hard work. Without fail ... I would grow ... VIEW POST
Ivory Buffet Makeover
I'm so excited! There has been warmth in Kansas for the last two days! The pups have been out burning off some energy, and Charlie has planted himself in a sunny spot in the backyard and is refusing to come back in. I have been back into the furniture projects full force lately with my turquoise dining set, the piece you will be seeing tomorrow at DebbieDoo's, and the piece down below. My finger nails are gone, my skin is raw and my shoulders are killing me but I am happy with the end ... VIEW POST
