This weekend was packed full of visiting our families. My great uncle turned 80 so we had a birthday picnic for him, and we visited with my husband’s family since his aunt and cousins from New England came to visit for a few days. A few weeks ago, my husband stopped in to see his parents, and found some white…
Today happened to be one of my favorite days of the summer: I picked our first vegetables from our garden! I have been keeping an eye on our sugar snap peas for a little while now. About a week ago I took notice to the blossoms on the peas. I knew it was only a matter of time! Today, I…
My husband and I go through a lot of eggs. I eat an egg muffin sandwich each morning, and my husband enjoys omelets on the weekends. During the week, he is usually trying to run out the door and get to work as quickly as he can, so breakfast sometimes goes by the wayside for him. But, if I keep…
I have been noticing a cold brewed coffee trend at various coffee places, such as Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, and even Sheetz. As I watch the commercials and read the signs, I question what this craze is all about. So, in order to find out, I did a little research on Pinterest. I love Pinterest; everything you could ever want to…
This spring, my husband and I decided to put out a hummingbird feeder. The previous owners of our house had hummingbirds that came around, and we wanted to see if we could get them to come back after a few years of not having a feeder out. I know these are not the best pictures, but I did what I…
A few days ago, my husband wanted to go out to a local restaurant for dinner. I have two favorite things about this restaurant: their wings and the malt vinegar they put on all the tables for French fries. Growing up, when we would get fries at a carnival or other event, I loved to douse them in vinegar. So,…
During the summer, I try to get caught up with things around the house that may have fallen by the wayside throughout the school year. One of the things that I don’t give a whole lot of thought to is cleaning the windows. So, I put this at the top of my list for this summer. I got started on…
During the summer, a glass of cold iced tea is so refreshing! An easy way to make some iced tea for your family is to brew sun tea. Now, you could boil some tea bags in water for a quicker experience, but for those of you with a set-it-and-forget-it mindset (like me), this is the way to go! I start…
One of my favorite summertime drinks is iced coffee. And, since yesterday was the last day of school, I thought today would be the perfect day to enjoy some iced coffee! We live relatively far away from any coffee shops, so many times, if I would like iced coffee in the morning, I need to prepare it myself. So, I…
The other day, I realized that I have too many T-shirts. My husband has been telling me this for years, but I now have more shirts than fit on their designated shelf. So, regretfully, I am going to need to pare down my T-shirt collection a bit. Many of my shirts come from running various races. I do not want…
