Happy Birthday My Little Chickadees!

Well it's been extremely busy around here. Between 2 birthdays, Christmas, New Years and various other things..... I'm tuckered out. I was gonna say pooped, but I didn't want to gross anyone out!
Birthday #1. She's just to cute and pictures just can't capture all her amazing qualities. Her dream... to be a farmer's wife and raise horses and any other type of animal you can think of! Happy birthday cutie.

Birthday #2 We interrupt this birthday... It's also 4-H day. Look what cutie #2 pulled out of her patch in January!

It weighed in a 14 pounds 4 ounces!!!!! That should keep my chickadees happy for a day or so. You just can't see how really big this is. I know lots of you probably experience this every summer, but this is are 2nd go at it. Our home garden is not doing so good. I'll post more later.


Ahhhh. Here we are. Happy Birthday sweetie. Her big sister made this cake. Her little sisters helped her eat it. She ended up getting 3 parties this year. Lucky Duck! She is also amazing, if I do say so myself. The love of reading has really kicked in. I can't keep her away from books and what a crazy, zany sense of humor!

School is in full swing. My goal is to be done by the end of April, then undercover school starts. The fun kind they really don't call school.
I hope to post more on: goals for this year, gardening, the makeover room, and the gifts I made for Christmas. So please stop by again!
Blessings,

Julie

Nestor's Party- My Craft Room!

Well I wanted to get these up because Nestor is having a 10 minute to a beautiful room party . This has definitely taken more than 10 minutes. But in my brain it was only suppose to take a day! It's far from finished, but that's what a craft room is for. Right? Here's a couple of before pics during the Children's Christmas play. Basically every surface was covered and I had to move stuff just to work. Five of us craft, sew, scrapbook etc in this room. So space and good storage is an issue. The room is apx.10x11. I really want my daughter's to grow up being Keeper's of their Homes. Home Decorating and Crafting Frugally is a must! You can have a beautiful home on a very tight budget. I also want them to be creative and have a place to show and explore their abilities. ( alrighty let me jump down from my horse; ) Here's some after photos. The paint was from the $5 bin and too yellow. So I added alot of white that we had from another project! Th...

Zeee Transformation!

It's Frugal Friday again! I really enjoy everyone's offerings. Please share your comments and head over to Biblicalwomanhood.com for more great tips. I have it listed in Friends and Interest for your convienece. Have a great weekend and enjoy! I've been anxious to get these up here! This was one of Superman's and my summer projects. We finished just in time for our littlest chickadee's birthday and for use while I'm schooling the rest of the brood. Here's what I found at a local thrift store.... The stove had a sad laminate door on it that someone else had used to repair it. I sanded down both the fridge and stove. I also traced the stove top. Then Superman took over. He did more sanding, replaced the door with scrap wood and cut out a window. So that she can see what's baking. After that it was time to paint! I really wanted red because (for now) it's in my kitchen and it looks great with the other colors in there. Quite Spicy! And I found it in th...

Nitrate Free Pepperoni

I'm not sure if I should show you the picture or not. I tweaked a recipe from Tammy's Recipes and it is quite tasty. BUT (and it's kind of a big BUT) the color is just not right. So the pepperoni looks a little grey (gross) but again taste SUPER! So here goes nothing.... nitrate free pepperoni See how gray it looks? That's because I used Real Salt (sea salt) instead of curring salts which have all the nitrates and fake pink color (they do this so people won't mistake it for table salt). That pink dye also gives sausages of all types that nice color we are all so used too. All the flavor was still in there and I figured if I'm making this homemade I want it to be as healthy as possible for my family. So why would I add the nitrates? Because I didn't use the pink salt I can't just leave this out in my pantry like you could with some of the store bought stuff. If you do to try this recipe and decide to go "all natural" please make sure that you ...
