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!

Patriotic Strawberries
Don’t these look patriotic? When I was a caterer, I made these by the boatload, and they’re super quick. Even if you’re making 200 of them. But you won’t be. Probably. If you don’t have blue sugar, you could just … Continue reading

Lemon Curd and Meringue Daisies
You know, it seems to me that anything that tastes as divine as lemon curd should have been given a prettier name. But, it is what it is. A rose by any other name, I guess. There is just something … Continue reading
