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!

What I’ve Been Reading
I’m finally starting my own book club, now that we’ve been “settled” for over a year in our forever house. We’re meeting tonight to pick out the next few months worth of books to discuss, but in the meantime, I … Continue reading
Simple Dilly Beans
I love Dilly Beans. Unfortunately, I forget to make them until I’m craving them, and I refuse to pay $5 for a tiny jar with about 50 cents worth of ingredients. And a bunch of chemicals I don’t want in … Continue reading
TBT: Peach Pumpkin Butter
I’m continuing the easy canning theme today with this deliciously sweet and tangy Peach Pumpkin Butter I posted last year. The season for pumpkin recipes somehow arrived earlier than I anticipated! And I love pumpkin…I must have been focusing on … Continue reading

I love fresh blueberries, and with this fabulous blueberry butter, I know I can have a taste of summer even during the dreary winter months! This is so simple, y’all…a few ingredients in the slow cooker, and you’re good to … Continue reading
