“If a little is good, a lot is better.” Sometimes adages like this can get you into trouble. This one caused me problems because sometimes “less is more”. When I was in college and in my 20’s I got a hold of a book about weightlifting for women. I looked the program over. There were…
Magnetic Strip for Hair Pin Storage
She won, and I missed it. My daughter swims competitively and when all the swimmers are wearing the same suits and same caps it is hard to figure out which child is yours. As a result, I missed one of her triumphs. Gratefully, she has done well more than once. And since then I have…
Brown Sugar Oven Baked Bacon
Cooking bacon is an art form. There are so many variables starting with the right pan. Then there is maintaining the right temperature on the stove, and deciding how long to cook it. Should I mention that it has to be done in batches? It is almost guaranteed that some of it is going to…
Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake
On a cold, wintery morning I crave something to help me believe that spring will come again. I know there are many lovers of snow out there who will disagree with me, but winter is just not my thing. I hate to be cold. I am a California transplant. Luckily I live in a…
St. Patrick’s Day Printables
Congratulations to Debbie and her family! Her second grandson was born happy and healthy last night. Mom and baby are doing great! We are thrilled to have a new member in our family. Sherri and I have another adorable nephew to spoil, I think we can handle it :)! Could someone please explain to me…

Tracy’s Righteous Chocolate Chip Cookies
Funny thing about sister’s, actually several funny things about sisters. One, we think a like. When we first started our blog, we would call each other up with a list of pins that we were planning on trying out. Of course, half of my “pins” were on either Debbie or Sherri’s list. How were we…
DIY Granite Cleaner
DIY GRANITE CLEANER This is going to really show my age, but how many of you remember “Alice” the housekeeper from the Brady Bunch Family TV show? You never really got to see her doing much cleaning other than light vacuuming and constantly wiping down the kitchen counters with a snow white cleaning cloth. If…
Paper Rose Topiary
One of my favorite things about doing our blog is that I get things done, finito, completed. Before blogging, I tended to be great at starting projects, but not as great at finishing them. It’s amazing how motivating a deadline can be! This Paper Rose Tutorial is a perfect example. I started it last year…
Valentine Day Heart Attack!
I have had the distinct pleasure of being heart attacked! It happened after we had our second daughter in 1994. I was home recovering, and went outside to get the morning newspaper. When I opened the front door I found that my lawn was covered with different sized hearts staked everywhere. Upon closer examination I…
