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!

Kid Cooking: Slumber Party Sweet Rolls
Here’s a great thing about my kids: School day or not, they are up and going at the same time. Oh-dark-thirty. Seriously, the five- and seven-year-olds must love spending time with me so much, they hear me making coffee with … Continue reading
Two-Hour Project: Ruffled Knit Scarf
If you’re a craft-fair-stalker as I am, I’m sure you saw the ruffled scarves for sale everywhere this fall. Did you know they are beyond simple to make? I knit several for gifts this Christmas, and I think they would … Continue reading
Winter Poem Printable
So one of my good friends lives in Wisconsin and keeps me supplied with kringles, which are the only ones I waste thousands of calories on because they’re the most delicious. When she mentioned that she’d like a poem for … Continue reading
