These are A Few of My Favorite Things - 2015 in Review

 
John's Birthday kicked off our new year!    Missy made the decorations.

 
Epiphany - Cookie party with my parents, my best friend and her husband.  Yum.

 
My daughter deciding she needed to cook dinner more often - this chicken was from her child's cookbook and turned out fantastic!

 
Finishing swimming lessons and qualifying for swim team!  Go Buddy and Missy!

 
Dying Easter eggs - they turned out particularly good this year.  My photos, not so much!

 
My flowers made me absurdly happy this year - I'm not sure why, but they were amazing!

 
Buddy and Missy turned 10!  They're so much fun right now!

 
Mother's Day with my Mother, my Mother-in-Law and my cousin Diane.  So special!

 
Kick off to summer!  This is the basket I put together for my children, mostly from the Dollar stores, of activities for them to do this summer.  We had a blast!

 
Minnesota's Biggest Candy Store!  A fun field trip while John was out of town.  These Hot Air Balloons covered the ceiling of the main room, even though my photos didn't turn out so well.


Walking back to the car from the Spash Pad.  This is a favorite every summer!  Free and fun!  Love that.

 
Homemade ice cream - yum!

 
Camp Wapo in Amery Wisconsin.  Enough said!


My 40th Birthday.  Thanks to my MIL for the gifts pictured above!  Unfortunately, this is the only photo I have from my birthday!
 
First day of 5th grade!  Can't believe my children are in Middle School now!

 
We had SO MUCH RAIN this fall.  Perk?  More rainbows!

 
Fall pumpkin picking!  We came  home with two huge ones!

 
Fall color.  This lonely little tree was a good example of the bright colors we had this year.

 
Trick Or Treating!  I'm always intrigued by what the children pick for costumes.  And the candy hall - oh my word!

 
Missy playing the piano and the trumpet at church this last year.  She's loving her music.
 
 
Christmas with my parents here!  Wonderful!
 
So many blessings this last year!
 
Wishing you a happy and blessed 2016.

Frugal Friday - The End of 2016

Another spectacular sunrise - we were so very spoiled by these this year!  I enjoyed every one of them! Nothing like completely forgetting I had a blog for month, right?  I didn't forget about everyone - I promise.   December ended up being ridiculously busy and very spare moment was spent with family and friends and on grading, as the term ended not that long ago.    My parents were visiting for 3 weeks (they returned home to sunny and slightly warmer Texas yesterday) and the children had their Sunday school program, their school Christmas program, and a school fun-day to end the term and John had 3 funerals and two graveside burials.  Then there's always the rush of Christmas and all the services that comes with being a Pastor's family.  I am very, very ready for a quiet start to the new year! I have some New Year's posts already planned and partially written, so look for those next week.  In the meantime, here are som...

Menu Plan Monday - Week of January 17, 2021

Peas from my garden last summer.  We are cold and snowy with a lot of ice right now!  Not my favorite weather.  So, to cheer myself up I am starting to plan my garden for next summer!  I am hoping that I will be able to grow at least enough tomatoes and cutting flowers for both my parents (who are moving 1 1/2 blocks away from us in about 2 months - hurray!) and our house as well.   I am so grateful that we have 1/5 acre lot for our home that we can grow vegetables flowers and (currently) a single tree.  It makes me so happy and provides some very fresh produce for our family.  I love the physical act of gardening, both flowers and vegetables, and I love the taste of vegetables fresh from the garden.  A win-win in my book for sure! The name of the game this week is to eat up as much of the fresh stuff as we can so it's easy to move the refrigerator downstairs for our remodel.  They start knocking out walls and cutting holes in the outsid...

Menu Plan Monday and a Little Shopping

Image
Our CSA boxes have looked pretty much like this the last two weeks - though in varying amounts and this last week we got green onions too.  Here we have in the front row: Broccoli, raspberries, green & purple beans, and peas.  Back Row: Lettuce, cucumbers, cauliflower, a mutant cross between a zucchini and a patty pan squash, green and purple kohlrabi and a clove of garlic.  We'll see what we get this week!  I blanched and froze the peas since we have a ton of those and we can't seem to eat through them fast enough.  I have a whole head of cabbage leftover from a few weeks ago in the crisper drawer too.  Two weeks ago we got 5lbs of cherries - they're all gone now (I was hoping to freeze some) having been eaten by my parents and my children!  I can't eat cherries so I was okay with that! I went to the store this weekend with a gift card and spend $22 on milk, peaches, apples, carrots (those aren't ready yet in the garden) and some fr...
