Getting Ready

I had so many titles for today's post: Pantry to Party Potato Salad
Brownie S'mores
Fourth First Aid
Lets get started! Here's my pantry potato salad. Take all the potatoes from your pantry (like red, white, Yukon gold, garden potatoes, and white sweet potatoes ((oops! we'll see if they notice)) clean them, boil them and peel them. Pop in large bowl. Take silkie hard boiled eggs, half an onion and chop, chop chop. Add a lot of BOGO mayonnaise and a couple of tablespoons BOGO yellow mustard a dash of ground pepper and sea salt and this what you get.....
About 10 lbs of Summer Party Potato Salad


Next up Brownie S'mores! I really enjoy having S'mores during the fireworks, but it's just to much work and crazy just before they start. So I started making oven S'mores about a half hour before, but that still took me away from the party. So this year I have created my own version of the Brownie S'more with and without pecans. Yummmy!

Adult version ( I'll drizzle on the chocolate, don't you worry)
Children's version (who are we kidding, I'll eat either!)


And last but not least...every year without fail we have boo boos, ouchies, blood and a nice dose of drama. So I got wise and created a 4th First Aid kit. Can't you just see the Medic (Mommy or Big Sister) running to the rescue with this pail of goodies. Yes, it has stopped many a siren style scream in its tracks!

We've got Neon and Animal Bandages this year!

So this a bit of what's happening here today. We'll save the ugly for another day.

Happy 4th of July!

J already got his booboo today, so maybe we're safe for tomorrow. I guess we should have told him that 2-yr olds don't fly ;-)

The s'mores look delish!

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...

Just a quick update! The storm is wobbling and at this point will come ashore just before the Tampa Bay Area.....but as we all know that can change by the next update! Our power goes out frequently with any windy storm, but Praise the Lord! At this point it doesn't look like it will come up the bay which could/would be devastating for our communities. Now why I'm really back on! I like when bloggy friends comment! Thank you! I get too excited...... Here is the what Nestor thought was purple polka dots on green walls. My camera has run out of batteries! So I guess I won't show my headboard and bedroom drapes made out of blue and light coffee colored table clothes...... I need to budget in batteries this month! This room was/ still is the Lady Bug Princess Room. There are 4 big Ladies around the room and there used to be a gauzy canopy with purple tulle and crystals hanging from it when one of the older chicks had it. The new occupants prefer shabby so the Ladies wi...
