I have a favorite memory from childhood. It involves leaves, fire, eating, family, cool weather, work, and last but not least, potatoes. I spent the first six years of my life in Salt Lake City, UT. Every fall my parents, two younger siblings, and I would rake the lawn, piling the leaves into the street […]

Buttermilk Rolls
This recipe comes from my sister-in-law’s mother. Don’t let the picture fool you. It makes the best dinner rolls and sweet rolls. The recipe is HUGE so you can cut it in half if you don’t want to make so many rolls. I like to make half the dough into dinner rolls and the other […]

Did you ever..
..have one of those days where no matter what you do you seem to be the “mean” mom? My children have judged me to be so. I hear by enter the evidence to be tried by a jury of my peers. Evidence #1: Mom became the alarm clock when said children were not awake on […]
Three Amigos
It seems these three are always together lately – making messes, reading books, playing outside. The two girls dote on their little brother (don’t we all) watching over him one minute, giving him reasons to kick or pinch them the next. Today they were content to play, happily sliding down the slide, rolling down the […]

Perty Hair
When my oldest girls were little we took the time every single day to do some fancy hairdos in their hair. As time wore on, the girls got older, we accumulated more girls and the hairdos got less and less fancy until, gasp, we were just doing well to get all the tangles brushed out […]

Art – Eric Carle Style
Last week was rather wretched for us. What with running into town several times for doctor visits, blood work and all the emotional and physical ups and downs that accompany a miscarriage (11 weeks along this time) our school work was the bare bones. Essentials were accomplished but not much else. On Wednesday I decided […]

Not-So-French French Bread
We love bread at our house. All types, all flavors. This french bread recipe is easy and produces three loaves of yummy french bread. I call it Not-So-French French Bread because the recipe doesn’t require the usual overnight rising time that true french bread calls for. As a result this bread is less yeasty tasting […]
