The frost doth cometh! Don't worry, I will not try to speak like that through a whole post. Anyway, the frost came before I was ready, as it does every year. I didn't manage to get any of my plants in, except my calamondin orange. You can see what takes priority at my house. I… Continue reading Green Salsa to the Rescue!
Freshly baked pumpkin crumb cake, and we were so excited we were having trouble waiting for it to cool enough to dig in.

It's not a beautiful Instagram worthy breakfast, but it is fun! We were given some plain oatmeal packets recently, and the kids left the animal cookie container on the table.

I thought this was pretty smart of her because I’ve definitely sunk some money into different cases learning what I do and don’t like. I use my tablet for… Continue reading The Best Cases for an Amazon Fire 10 Tablet

I tried a reel bonus program on Instagram. I am no expert on creating reels, but I wanted to give it a try because it sounded like a fun way to possibly earn a little bit of extra money. Screenshot of my Insta with all my new reels. The gnome video was one I uploaded… Continue reading Instagram Reel Bonus Program
I really like the gnome trend that is going on still. Some family members collect Arensbak Forest Trolls and some still have some troll dolls from the 90’s. I feel like this is why the gnome theme really works for many of the collectors I know. I really like the whimsical forest creature themes. Just… Continue reading Go For Gnome (A Drawing Process)
