(close up of a sunflower bud) WAITING Reasons I haven’t blogged since Thursday: 1. Friday Mr. Ferrero Rocher and I spent the day in Reno while all the chocolate chips played with cousins in Fallon. We were able to go to the temple, get some shopping done, and eat at one of my favorite restaurants, […]
Spud Nut
Ah, the humble potato: a worldwide food staple, non-fat, low calorie, never ending ways to cook it, comes in several different colors, delicious, healthy goodness. I’ve listed before some of my favorite potato dishes. I love potatoes! I even used to play with them as a little child, carrying them around like dolls. Now I […]
My Food Storage Room Dimensions
Dear Emily, You left a comment over a week ago asking the dimensions of my food storage room. I meant to answer you right away. Really I did! Then Mr. Ferrero Rocher got sick with the stomach flu and I had to baby him a little. I intended to answer right after he was well, […]

Water Canyon and Blue Skies

Where’s Your Honey?
I collect bees and beehives. Have I mentioned that before? I can’t remember. It started when Bon Bon was 4 and Semisweet was 3. We were learning about bees for school, in particular how all the worker bees were female. They decided since they work hard too that our school would be called Beehive Academy. […]
Monthly Baby Onsies
I love figuring out new gifts to make for friends and family. Ones that are really awesome, somewhat different than the norm, and so fun to do that I know they will be a go-to gift for quite a while, or until I run out of people to give them to. My friend Julie had […]

(click to enlarge the photo and get all the cute child drawn details) Fudge loves to draw and color. She created this farm mural scene and taped it to our front door.

How I Meal Plan
Living out here on the farm far from town has really required me to fine tune my skills at meal planning. No quick runs to the store to get something for dinner! It’s a good thing I was already trying to limit my grocery shopping to once a week before moving out here. There are […]
Sharing Sisterly Secrets
We spent last evening out on the lawn enjoying the slightly cool breeze, though the air was smoky from the California fires. It was good to be outside. Being cooped up in the “sick” house for two days is NOT fun! The girls are all recovering from their bout with the stomach flu. So far […]
