Back in June I had mentioned that my mother had brought me some of my great grandma’s silverware and I had cleaned it up.  I have been searching for frames since then.  I was determined to buy some shadow boxes and them mount them in there.  I have been pricing those frames between Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, JoAnne’s and online –…

THE ONLY Chocolate Chip Cookie

By | 0 Comments

I am always on the search for a good chocolate chip cookie recipe.  Hubby is a sweets kind of guy.  His side of the bed is often littered with candy wrappers and crumbs.  I on the other hand could take or leave sweets… but have a bowl of salsa and chips sitting out and watch out!  Any way I digress……

My boys favorite day of the week is house cleaning day.  Not because they help clean but because I take all the chairs from around the dinning room table and I put them on the rug in the sitting room and I let them built forts.  I place the chairs for them and then they get out the blankets and…
