Jennie-O Make the Switch Challenge Champions for Kids!

moon3

This month I am making a healthy switch and the money that I save by not eating an un-healthy food will be donated as a part of the Champions For Kids Jennie-O Make the Switch Challenge!  It was not an easy thing for me to decide on because my family generally eats pretty healthy.  I know that I post a lot of delicious desserts on my blog, but we really don't indulge in them as often as it seems.  We also are not pop (soda/ coke) drinkers.  I got to thinking a little more and then realized … [Continue reading]

Olive Artichoke Cheese Bread {Reduced Fat} Project Party Weekend!

olivebread

So... this recipe was actually linked up 2 weeks ago, but I kept thinking about it and decided that I NEEDED to make it!   The original recipe is by The Pioneer Woman and Kristin from Homespun with Love made this and posted it to her blog. Her picture- OH SO YUMMY!!!  After seeing her picture of the Olive Cheese Bread I knew that I had to make it, but then I decided that this might be a more than once in a while treat... so I made it Reduced Fat and added Artichokes!!!  We all know that … [Continue reading]

Food Photography!!!

Cake Batter Ice Cream Cupcakes 2

If you know me well you know that I love photography.  I love learning more and more about this art and I enjoy taking lots of photos.  One area that I am particularly weak in is Food Photography.  I do take lots of pictures of food and most of them are great, but there are some that don't look appealing at all and I always wonder why that is. Well I won't be wondering much longer because I am enrolled in the Social Fabric University for Food Photography by Sony!   This is a part of the … [Continue reading]

Mother’s Day Patio Spruce Up! #KmartOutdoor #CBias #SocialFabric

016

It's almost Mother's Day and this year I decided to do a little patio spruce up.  My patio was looking rather drab and boring.  I could sit down, but there was no place to lay a book or drink.  When the kids are playing outside I really need a place where I can just sit and relax while watching them.  My family agreed with me and so we went to see what we could find at the Kmart Outdoor Living section to make this space more live-able as a Mother's Day gift to me! I was so excited with … [Continue reading]

Watering Can Photo Gift for Mother’s Day! #GlueNGlitter #CBias #SocialFabric

watercanphoto

 My mom is not really hard to buy for.  All she really wants is pics of the girls or something thoughtful.  This year I am getting creative and making her something she can display for years to come.  I came up with this Watering Can Photo Gift and I think it is SO cute!    I know my mom will love it!  There are tons of options to making this too.  If you don't want to use a watering can... a flower pot would be cute as well!   I love the faces in the flowers for girls, but if you have … [Continue reading]

Watermelon Pie and Project Party Weekend! {Link Up Your Projects Here!)

watermelon

I hope you had a wonderful week!  I have a real treat for you... Watermelon Pie.  I got this idea from a post that Dorothy from Crazy for Crust linked up.  She made Alligator Pie.  I used her same recipe, but I changed the colors.  As you can see she does a much better job at making pie than me!!! LOL! I tried!  I should have stuck with making the Alligator! Doesn't that look good... and FUN?  Although my watermelon version didn't turn out exactly like I had envisioned in my head... … [Continue reading]
