i really look forward to the month of july, even if it does remind me of just how fast summer is flying along. i mean, who doesn’t love the summer heat, celebrating the 4th of july with fireworks, bbq, and watermelon, lemonade, and my personal favorite: limeade with mint leaves. swoon. i grow mint in my…
i absolutely love this time of year! school is out, water balloons and pools and waterparks are all the rage, the air smells like suntan lotion, and the sun is bright in the sky – it is finally getting hot out without being TOO hot just yet. my kids have a bucket list of things…
this year has just been humming right along. i can’t believe it is the month of may already! i’d say that i’m happy to have the sunny spring/summer weather here, but we have hardly had any! it actually snowed today. on the 30th of april! i just can’t believe it. so here’s hoping that may brings…
this post is a day late getting published. i’m so sorry! this past weekend was a super busy one – way busier than usual. though it was busy it was definitely fun – our church had its semi-annual general conference (which i totally love and look forward to!), which happened to land on easter weekend (which…
if there is one thing i love to eat more than anything else it is pasta. creamy, dreamy, cheesy, delicious pasta. when my husband and i were newlyweds and i had little to no experience preparing food, i would often go to the grocery store and buy three things to make my favorite meal: cheese…
this year is just humming right along! i am looking forward to march as a new month with a fresh slate. it’s a time to start new goals for myself and this free monthly calendar is perfect for writing in all those goals, all my to dos, and everything in between. though, as a side…
hey ya’ll! we’re zooming through february as fast as january came and went. each year i think time can’t pass any faster and each year it does. maybe it’s just me but it seems life gets more and more hectic with each passing day. so many distractions and always so many things begging for our attention….
ah, love month! one of my favorites! whether or not you have a spouse or significant other, it’s always great to show love towards others. baking cookies for neighbors, doing a kind deed, smiling at someone at the grocery store…. we had someone do “the twelve days of christmas” for us this past year and…
it’s wintertime around here and while there may not be snow on the ground (which is totally unusual for where we live, but i’m not complaining!) there is still a chill in the air, and that can only mean one thing: it’s soup season! i always look forward to this time of year. not only…
i’m pretty sure i say this every year when i post these freebie calendars, but i am so glad to finally get these posted! i really should make them ahead of time, like in the summer when things are slower, but somehow they always get put on the backburner until the end of the year when…
another year has come and gone! i really can’t believe it. it still amazes me how some days can go by soooo sloooow and yet the years seem to go by so incredibly fast! each new year really allows for me to look back on the previous one and reevaluate what i spend my time on…

i have a confession to make. i cannot make pie crust. i’ve tried a few times and each time it’s turned out horribly. i wanted to make an apple pie for thanksgiving…pie crust fail. i tried to use a “no-fail” pie crust to make some blueberry pie…that one was even worse. sigh. that’s why i’ve…
