Once again, I was looking for easy for our Sunday dinner. This super quick version of Chicken Parmesan contains all the ingredients that I consider my “pantry essentials”. When I prepare my meals, I usually make a double batch so that I don’t have my kids fighting over seconds. It’s also nice to have lunch…
10 Minute Chicken Tortilla Soup (or Tortillaless)
When I hit the grocery store I always pass those juicy, hot rotisserie chickens and just can’t resist. Often times I just buy one so when the kids come home from school they pick (or ravage) at it. I much rather they fill their little bellies with protein and not breadie, sugary snacks (of course,…
Home Office Redesign
Here is a home office that I did for my mother-in-law (a very special lady). It’s not quite done, but it’s done enough to post. Once I get the art and a few other pieces, I’ll photograph it again and repost. In a nutshell, here’s how I got this look: First I cleared her space…
Etching Glasses For and With the Boys
I didn’t quite put the Cricut away yet. I haven’t used that machine in a very long time. I was a little confused to find that Cricut now offers the free software for both PC and Mac that you download from their site. I paid $70 bucks for those features a few years back. What…
Easy, and I mean EASY Enchiladas with Refried Black Bean and Wild Rice
Okay, here’s the deal. I’m told I make the best enchiladas but… as you can see, I cheat! Look, I’ve made it all from scratch and it’s delicious, but why make things complicated when the easy route tastes just as good? Landon (my youngest boy) requested enchiladas for dinner last night, so enchiladas I made….
Valentine Gift Baskets Handmade for ART Body Spa
Today’s project was a big deal to get done. These little Valentine Gift Baskets have been a never ending project that has been taking up much of my dining room. I can finally deliver them to the spa tomorrow and check another project off my list. Whoo Yeah! Valentine’s is one of our biggest seasons…
Etching Vintage Glasses for ART Spa
If you know my background, then you know I own a day spa in San Antonio, Texas. We like to serve spa water and, of course, have to serve it in glasses (tastes and feels so much better than plastic). As you can imagine, we go through glasses like water (he,he…water). One day while…
I Can See Clearly Now. Creating an Inspirational and Functional Home Office / Craft Room
This is another project I started today: Creating an Inspirational and Functional Home Office. You can see why I can drive my husband crazy, I always have to be doing something. Any who, I recently sold this house to my mother-in-law. We moved her out to the boonies with all us family folk and is…
Resuming Project “Rustic Farm Table”
I started a Rustic Farm Table project at the beginning of January (see blog posted on Jan. 1, 2013) but had to stop due to desperately needed rain and very cold weather reaching as low as 28 degrees (that’s cold for us Texans). Me no likey worky in yucky weather. Here’s what has been completed…
Best Mommy Ever!
Todays finds were from Creekside Vintage in Wimberley (of course). My personal tagline is “I have a thing for everything”, that being said, I have a thing for aprons! And I do really use them, for reals. I especially fancy the tie-at-waist kind. Why I love aprons: Perfect excuse to scavenge and buy at…
