If you remember, I one of my commitments for the New Year was to live simpler and make more of my own products. I was already making my own Laundry Soap, and I recently starting making Stache Shine & Hair … Continue reading
I love Christmas. I love celebrating the Reason of the Christmas Season, The Birth of Christ. So when I do my Christmas decorating, I like to keep the simplicity of the season. Which fits perfectly with my early farmhouse/primitive decor. One … Continue reading

Welcome to the 33rd week of Wake Up Wednesday “Linky” 
I’m currently suffering through the hottest month of the year when my desk fan becomes next to useless no matter how high I turn it up. Homemade ice cream recipes to the rescue!
Joanna’s Andalusian Zucchini Tortilla
Are you curious like me where the zucchini is?
Football season is just about underway! Whether it is a club, college, high school or professional teams are practicing and getting ready for another exciting season. My family loves to watch football. Of course football also means snacks, so to go along with our first game of the season I created this portable SNICKERS Pretzel Snack with cute little football bags.
How to Make Elderberry Extract
I had these delicious Bourbon-Map
le sweet potatoes as one of my sides. Ben doesn’t normally like sweet potatoes (which is one reason I ordered them!- kidding!) but he inhaled these babies. I decided to try to recreate the sweet potato recipe for our Thanksgiving meal and they were pretty spot-on.
Blairsden Mansion Tour: Part 2
In case you missed Part 1, I’m taking you on the mother of all house tours…
at Blairsden Mansion, in Peapack-Gladstone NJ.which was the site of a
Designer Showhouse fundraiser, back in May.
This frosty treat makes a refreshing ending to any summer meal. Simply scoop the slushy mixture into bowls or tall glasses and enjoy a refreshing dessert, all while still getting that melon flavor fix, albeit without all the dripping. Add a splash of vodka for an even sweeter summer adult beverage.
Finally, we found a dresser that fit out needs. It wasn’t too over-scale, had 9 drawers, and was only $100.
I was going to come up with a simple crock pot recipe, and then I found this decadent pumpkin butter recipe from I Bake, He Shoots. I tried it, loved it, and now…it’s the one I’m going to recommend. (Well, that’s an easy first day, isn’t it?)
Ever since I was five, my mother and I have always made this Classic Cherry Pie for special occasions or just dessert. I’ve never lost my taste for cherries…or dessert. This recipe has been a family favorite for years. A simple recipe easy to make for busy days.

Now it is time to introduce our favorite This Momma’s Meanderer’s from last week, and boy oh boy it was a difficult choice! Don’t forget to grab your “I Was Featured” badge of honor! Congratulations to you all!
Miranda’s favorite post came from Mom Fever with the post “How to Give Your Tea Table an English Look!”
Saying, “I would love to own a Tea Room in the future, and I am in love with all things English Tea! Thank you for this post. Great inspiration!”
Jessica’s favorite post came from Giveaways 4 Mom with the post “5 Tips for Getting Rid of Excess Baby Weight!”
Saying, “It’s been three years and I am still trying to lose the baby weight! LOL! Seriously though, I am back on a regimen after medical clearance from my doc so these tips are good starter points. I especially liked #2. Believe it or not, no matter how busy you are, you can incorporate a workout somehow. Have you danced with your vacuum? Awesome workout, if I do say so myself!”
Natasha’s favorite post came from Jayhawk Mommy with the post “Mommy Needs A Time Out!”
Saying, “Oh wow! I can completely sympathize with Denise on this post. It’s amazing what a 3-year old will put you through, and not even show a care in the world. I’m glad that Denise was able to get a drink to take the edge off for the night – it really does wonders! Great post!!”
My favorite post came from Jayhawk Mommy with the post “Mommy Needs A Time Out!”
This is amazing and I can so relate to Denise with this one! Even though mine are now teenagers, there are still days that I need and dream of a break, between homeschooling, gardening, mowing, laundry, dishes, etc. While I don’t mind being homebound, there is a tiny part of me that misses going to work, because it took me away from the day to day responsibilities. But even going to work was never a real break, because all of the house duties were there as well as work! Great post!
Congratulations to all of you amazing and wonderful linkers! Don’t forget to grab and display our “Featured” badge!
Thank you to all of you who joined us last week!

Thrifty Thursday…Glass Mushrooms for the Garden
from Artistic Endeavors Inc 101
Crock Pot Shredded Beef Tacos Recipe
DIY: Cucumber Mint Body Scrub + Free Printable Labels
I know that we all need a little relaxation from time to time, and what better way than with a DIY Scrub? Not only is this perfect for relaxing at home, it also makes a wonderful frugal gift idea! Take an afternoon and create this easy DIY Cucumber Mint Body Scrub
I have been obsessed with Homemade Body Scrub recipes lately. I decided to whip up a Coffee Sugar scrub recipe of my own this morning. It is so easy and very inexpensive.
Another baby boy was born on the very day I posted a picture of a home made soft ball I had sewn for my nephew. A perfect opportunity to sew another one, don’t you think? This time, I added several loops.
Have you every heard of yellow squash in a quick bread recipe? I was first introduced to it last summer by my daughter. I love to bake with zucchini in bread, but never had made any with summer yellow squash.
Finally, I would like to share with you the last wall in my Kitchen……
And wrap up my Series on my Kitchen where I shared One Wall at a Time……
