Who ate the ____?!

by allison Feature

Tell me if this scenario has ever played itself out in your house:
You wake up from a decent night’s sleep. You and your little darlings head downstairs to read classic literature (watch an obscene amount of cartoons) and have a healthy, organic breakfast (out of a box).
However, when you pop open the pantry, you notice [...]

The Dangers of Shopping

by Joni Motherhood Matters

There would have been a better chance of winning the lottery. The odds would have been more in my favor to be recruited by a professional basketball team as a starting center or to get struck by lightning in a passing thunderstorm than the fortuitous events that occurred Friday afternoon.
We were headed to the lake [...]

Citizen’s Arrest

by Joni Motherhood Matters

It’s the closest I have ever come to making a citizen’s arrest. The opportunity literally was within my grasp and then it was gone, sort of like the words isosceles triangle escaped me in ninth grade geometry.
Captivated at a young age by the adventures of Charlie’s Angels, I have always visualized the scenario that would [...]

If There Were Two of Me

by allison Allison Dorman

Wouldn’t it be great if you could clone yourself? I cannot tell you how many times IN A DAY I wish that there were two of me. For my husband that is a nightmare. Two of my opinions. Two of my debit cards. Two of my never-ending-things-I-want-to-do-to-the-house lists. I just don’t think the poor [...]

It’s All About the Accessories

by Joni Motherhood Matters

One morning, I was in a big hurry– a concept that children either do not understand, choose to ignore, or purposefully mispronounce. (”Did you say furry? Who’s furry? Have you seen my stuffed rabbit?”)
At the time, they were ages 6, 4, and 2. Before heading out the door to deposit them at school (the younger [...]

I have never loved him more.

by Joni Motherhood Matters

It was touching, yet intrusive, all at the same time.
On one hand the act was thoughtful and beyond reasonable spousal expectation. On another, it proved a little uncomfortable that such personal, delicate information was retrieved in a manner that can only be seen as invasive. Some secrets a girl just wants to keep to herself.

Look at these fabulous prints I just added to our main bathroom (below)!
Where did I get them, you ask? At my local fabric store. (JoAnn’s to be exact.)

Yes, these lovely pieces of art are actually pieces of fabric. I have to tell you all a little secret: I have a [...]

Vintage Valentines

by Wendy Recipes & Projects

by Wendy @ The Shabby Nest
Can anybody tell me where January disappeared to? I blinked my eyes and it was gone. Seriously. Of course it may have something to do with the fact that I moved across the country, the hubby started a new job, the kids started a new school, etc. etc.
But honestly, it’s [...]

Cranberry Cream Cheese Ball: Heaven on a Graham Cracker

by elizabeth Recipes & Projects

I had the honor of hosting a baby shower for a dear friend recently. Aren’t showers great fun? There’s so much joyful anticipation floating around…not to mention FOOD: little sandwiches with no crust, petit fours and at least three items whose main ingredient is cream cheese.
Speaking of cream cheese, here’s one of my favorite shower [...]

Blueberry Buckle

by elizabeth Recipes & Projects

Mmmm. Nothing says summer like a berry-stained smile. And with the great price on blueberries these days, there’s no reason for not enjoying summertime treats like this one, below. This recipe–straight from my mom’s recipe box–was one of my very favorite breakfasts (and lunches and dinners) as a kid.
Buckle Batter:
2 cups blueberries
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup [...]
