Thanks for stopping by my blog! The hats I wear include wife (to a retired Army field artilleryman), mom to three super busy teens, and high school math teacher. In my “free time” I love cooking, reading, creating (mostly papercrafts), photography, travelling, and exploring the PNW with my family…you know, all the usual things!
I hope you’ll find some inspiration, entertainment, and something that makes you smile here. I look forward to hearing from you!

Strawberry Tiramisu
Before I show you this recipe, let me say this…I generally avoid using Cool Whip, because of the partially hydrogenated oil and numerous chemicals in it. However, unless you’re willing to suck up all the fat and calories in real … Continue reading
