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!

Dark Chocolate Cherries with Amaretto
Occasionally I like to blow the socks off my kids, and these simple Dark Chocolate Cherries do the trick, especially for Valentine’s Day. Oh, and for the hubs, I drizzle a little amaretto over the top, which makes them, well, … Continue reading
Bee Mine Honeycomb Canvas
My front door was looking a little forlorn since I (finally) remembered to take down our Christmas wreaths a week or so ago. In my defense, that’s not the door we use every day! Anyway, I wanted something for Valentine’s … Continue reading
Home Is Where the Heart Is Map Art
So I neglected to mention here that the hubs and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary last week. We tend to downplay it a bit, since we dated for eight years (off and on) before we decided to take the … Continue reading
