My Perfect 10

Summer Pasta

I know Spring is just hitting most areas but it is down right HOT in Florida already...Summer is here! So I was looking around online for some light summer pasta recipes that would not only be light on the budget but easy on the temps in the house too. I found a really easy one that I tried out last night and it was a hit! Well with everyone but Jessica...she wouldn't even try it because of the tomatoes but she ate salad. I guess I will never please everyone in the house! Ingredients 1 lb box fettuccine 2 tablespoons... Read more →

Our First Rose!

About two weeks ago we started to see tiny buds on our rose bushes. We could not believe they were going to bloom already this season! The buds are really tiny and we are thinking this might be some type of mini rose bush...either way its still really neat! This past weekend this little bud began to split open and we got to see that we would have little white roses in our garden. Then Easter Sunday we woke up to find it had opened all the way up! There are little buds all over two of the bushes that... Read more →

Earth Day!

So what are you doing with your borrowed time this Earth Day? I just ordered a set of recycle bins... I picked up a few reusable shopping bags...now to remember to bring them with me! I made sure all the bulbs in our home had been switched out for these. Now if I could just get the kids to turn the lights off when they leave a room I would be all set! lol Read more →

Talk About Bringing Your Work Home

This is what I found in our driveway last night when I went out to meet Rick! Kind of gives new meaning to "bringing some work home"! One of the boys next door thought it was pretty cool though, even knocked on the door and asked if he could have the Cadillac. lol I have to admit it is pretty cool, and Rick is pretty cool too! That's my "Tow Truck"! :) What is the strangest thing you have ever brought home from work? Read more →

Playing In Photoshop

One of my favorite craft blogs Eighteen25, offered this great print on their site last week. Well even though they had the download for free I thought...I can make that! (Image from eighteen25) So I opened up my Photoshop Elements and got to work! Now of course I changed mine just a bit to make it my own and I had to use a heart just because I love hearts! I submitted it to the Canvas People and I should have my canvas ready to display in our home in just a few weeks! The Canvas People have a great... Read more →

Going, Going...

Almost GONE! So it was a little over four weeks ago now that Rick and I started our little garden in the front of the house. We were so very excited to see the pretty flowers we took the time to pick out start to fill in and bloom. We did not know we bought Tropical Milkweed...Caterpillar food! They VERY quickly took over and made it known the Tropical Milkweed was all theirs and there would be NO stopping them until... They ate every last flower and leaf they could find! And now they have moved on to eating down... Read more →

A Month In Photos: March

Another month has past us by and that means its time for another...A Month In Photos collage! This has to be my favorite project this year! I love being able to look back and see the things we were able to get done or the fun we had together, and they are so quick and simple to put together! The month of March kept us VERY busy with lots of on going projects around the house...which I love! And of course family time! 1. We took the girls strawberry picking again...you can never have too many strawberries. 2. Rick and... Read more →
