Attempting to Compost (need help!)

So, since we have a garden spot now, we thought it might be a good idea to learn how to compost. I’m not talkin’ about “having a huge pile of banana peels on the counter collecting flies until they decay and I can throw them into the ground already falling apart” composting. But I don’t want to spend tons of money with a high-tech...

Doggin’ on Paul!

Ok, not really. But have you ever been around someone who always talks bad about his/her spouse? It’s really awkward. And annoying. I always wonder, ok, why are you with this person if they’re so awful?? And why are you telling me?? We know someone, “Bob.” Bob dogs on his wife frequently. Paul recently heard another friend talking to Bob on the phone. That...

New Blog Site!

I signed up to get on a LDS/Mormon blog site and thought I’d share it! It’s for LDS-themed blogs or general/political/whatever else blogs written by LDS members. It’s really neat to see others’ POV and what they think of life in these latter days.

Stumped.

I sat down to write something and just couldn’t find anything to say. I’ve done the bit of politics (that’s as far as I get!), the animal posts (LOVE animals), the kid post (Halloween)…. So I guess I’ll just ramble for a bit. Hope you don’t get bored! I love this season. I love the holidays coming up; decorating, something to look forward to,...

Amazing!

Another sister sent me a great email she thought would make a good post, and I agreed. This is a story about a dog who was condemned to die but was rescued. He was born with 2 good legs (his back 2) and a bad front leg that was amputated. The original owners didn’t think the dog could survive,  so they were going to...

My sister sent me an email and I decided to post about it. But, after some thought, I decided to make it a permanent page. That way we could help more animals. Please go check it out (on the left)!

Something Good for Dinner!

A while ago, I found a food blog that had a dinner plan for portobello burgers and sweet potato fries. I asked for the seasoning on the fries (cuz I’ve never done the fries before) and she posted the recipe. It looks so good! This is our dinner tonight. So much healthier than a beef burger and fried fries…not that I have anything against...

New Layout!

Obviously I had my blog redone (thank you, Paul!) I went from blue to this nice autumn theme in time for the upcoming season. And I want to know you think! If you’re a friend, family member, or someone I don’t know that’s nice enough to just drop by, leave a comment if you’ve got a second. Thanks!
