These pancakes are a staple to my families breakfast menu. We have them weekly! I try to add a little variety by adding chocolate chips or making them different sizes. I’ve even tried my hands at shapes and letters for the different holidays/seasons. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do! TheContinue reading “Pancakes”

November Meal Plan
For those of you who like to meal plan, here is what my November meals will look like. My family likes big breakfasts and don’t like to experiment much on new recipes. So you will find eventually that a lot of our meals are similar. But, for now, I’m going to try a bunch ofContinue reading “November Meal Plan”
For the Wee Ones!
Over the last couple of years, my extended family has exploded: in a good way! Many of my cousins are now starting their families. It’s been my goal to gift to them a knitted sweater and small quilt with each new arrival. So far, I’ve been pretty good about getting it done! My current work inContinue reading “For the Wee Ones!”
Rabbits Love Additions too!
When we got the kids their rabbits back in June, my sister-in-law and I built their hutch/house inside the chicken house. I thought it would be better protected for them against predators and the weather. However, I’ve felt sorry for them that they could not enjoy the outdoors unless my children brought them out. WeContinue reading “Rabbits Love Additions too!”
Wheelbarrow to Sleigh
One of my creative outlets is designing book covers for eBook and print books. It also helps to bring in a little spending money. Several years ago, I took a photography course by Amy Earle. In the class, she also gave us an intro to Photoshop Elements. Thus, began my playing with family pictures. AContinue reading “Wheelbarrow to Sleigh”
Full Bath: Part II
First, make sure you fill all those little waffle squares with mortar. Then, add another layer on top with your trowel grooves. Set your tile. It’s recommended when you lay your tile out you start from the center of the room, so it appears that the tiles run under the walls. Mr. Roots and IContinue reading “Full Bath: Part II”
Happiness and Life in a Box
Happiness and life arrived at our house this morning with a phone call at 6:55 am! Cute little fuzzy chicks from McMurray Hatchery. These little gals and a couple guys will start our laying flock next spring. Unfortunately, we had several pass away due to cold weather arriving a little earlier than anticipated. But thoseContinue reading “Happiness and Life in a Box”
Full Bath: It’s not perfect, but it’ll do!
Our full bath needed a little updating. It’s been a slow but steady process. First, I painted the walls. What do you think of my Mossy Gold (the green accent wall)? To 60’s/70’s? I know, odd, but I like it! The main color we use throughout our house is called Dessert Floor. They’ve got someContinue reading “Full Bath: It’s not perfect, but it’ll do!”
Bringing Home Blueberries Instead of a Moose
We spent the first two weeks of August off the Elliot Highway near Fairbanks, Alaska trying to hunt down a moose. Both boys were fortunate enough to draw tags for a Youth Hunt. But due to usually wet weather, the moose were not down low in the valleys. The extra rain made it impossible toContinue reading “Bringing Home Blueberries Instead of a Moose”
The Moose are BACK!!
As you’ve probably guessed from the title of my blog today, I’m a little excited the moose are back! Last summer, we had the pleasure of watching them up until October and then hadn’t seen any on our place since. Well, last week they started moseying through our place again! They are some of theContinue reading “The Moose are BACK!!”
