My sister contacted me a couple of weeks ago to see if I could make up a few aprons and chef hats for her upcoming wild game dinner at church. (Keep in mind that this isn’t something that I’ve done. lol!) So, I agreed to give it a try. We originally talked about using a pink camo, but I was unable to find any pink camo material locally. So, this is what I came up with… You can’t tell it from the picture, but the ruffle, pockets, and ties are in light pink. I used the same pink material to…

Posted in Christian Life, and Homemaking

When Munchkin decided to get baptized, I knew that I wanted to give her something special for that important moment in her life.

I need to participate in Tackle It Tuesday this week. We loved having company this past week, but now, I need to buckle down and get caught up on everything. Last night, I tackled emails and blog stuff. I still have a few things to finish (like picking a winner for the giveaway), but most things are at least back on track. {done} Today, I’m tackling getting caught up on reading and review items.

Menu Plan Monday: Company is Coming

Posted in Homemaking

This week, D is home all week. Plus, we have family flying in on Wednesday. Last week, due to unforeseen things taking place, I didn’t get to all of the items on our list, so some of this week’s menu items will be exactly the same as last week.

Monday: Lunch – Left over gluten free personal pan pizzas from Sunday Dinner – Sandwiches using Gluten Free Homemaker’s Focaccia Bread Veggies…
