It’s time for another Tackle it Tuesday over at 5 minutes for Mom. Last week, I was able to make the kitchen safely gluten-free (minus some baking things that I am not going to toss). This week, I’m going to be tackling finishing up the organization of the kitchen. We still don’t have the kitchen completely under control from the move. Since we spend a lot of time in the eat-in kitchen, it really needs to be finished. As D says, one room at a time, we’ll get the house done. For more tackles, head on over to 5 Minutes…

Make It From Scratch Carnival #18

Posted in Homemaking

The entries are in over at Stop the Ride for the Make it from Scratch carnival. There are all kinds of yummy treats and creative ideas to see this week. You can see my entry here.

To find out how you can participate in the Make It From Scratch Carnival, head on over to Stop the Ride.

She’s so proud of herself, and we’re proud of her too!! They’ll be making boxers tomorrow. I…

Gluten Free Flax Bread

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

As sandwiches and toast are a big part of our daily diet, I needed to find an alternative that was gluten-free. We didn’t want to sacrifice texture and flavor.
