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!

Family Favorite Apple Fritter
Before the comments about this not being an apple fritter, let me just say that in my family, it is! My mom is an amazing pie baker, and this is her recipe for an apple fritter, which she’s been making … Continue reading
What Can You Make of It?
It’s juvenile, I know, but I think of the line from the old movie, “Airplane!” every time I fold a piece of paper. You know, when they hand him a map and say, “What can you make of it?” and … Continue reading

The Sweetest Alfajores
Last year, my high schooler had to make traditional foods of Chile for his Spanish class. He shared that with me the night before his group’s presentation. Yay. Anyway, he did a little Google research and found some amazing (and … Continue reading
Embossing Many Thanks and Making Punch Templates
I know, I’m skating perilously close to being rude by not having sent thank you notes for Christmas yet. But I’m playing the pandemic card yet again, and just getting around to writing (and having the kids write) thank yous. … Continue reading
Tuxedo Fondue for NYE at Home

Christmas Candy for Gifting

Delivery Driver Crate of Treats
This is a far from original idea, but in this year of home deliveries, we wanted to do something to thank all of the delivery drivers who have often been our only link to the world (or at least that’s … Continue reading
