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!

TBT: Kid-Crafted Thanksgiving Leaf Napkin Rings
We made these a couple of years ago, and, much to the kids’ dismay, they’ve held up, so there’s no need to make new ones. I did decide, however, that they could make a bunch of clay leaves and we … Continue reading
