We just had one for my daughter. We did a couple little activities. One was we made her a birthday banner. I bought a roll of white paper, Cut off a long piece. I wrote Happy Birthday on it, then got...

I cook breakfast, lunch and dinner at home every day. I would love to eat out more, but there aren't many options around us. We try to go out at least once a month though, I cherish those days!

Which type of grill do you have and which do you prefer? We used to have a charcoal grill, then switched to propane.

I think it depends on what I'm grilling. I prefer hamburgers and steak on a...

I have also done both. If childcare was not an issue I would prefer to work outside of the home. Staying home works out great for us though. When my company started offering tele-commuting I jumped...

Glad it's not just me. I've been baking like crazy lately. Last night I stayed up making some chocolate peanut butter cupcakes from scratch. They were delicious. I love to bake and decorate them all...

I have already planted my tomato plants. I don't do tomatoes from seeds anymore, the plants are just so much easier. Make sure your soil is rich, fertilized and ready for planting. Depending on the...

I haven't tried it yet, but I have already bought a pattern and the materials to do it with. I've had it for a couple week though, and haven't started yet. It intimidates me! :)

I cannot stand to have a disorganized closet. For some reason though, it is the junk accumulator. I try to clean it out once a month, but it is due again. Now that I'm sitting here thinking about it,...

I have never heard of e-schooling either. It sounds very interesting! My eldest is getting ready to start Kindergarten, and luckily she is going to a Charter school so I hope I don't have to deal...

In your home, who does the finances?

I stay home with our children while my husband works, but I manage all of the finances. He has never been good with money, and has deposited his paycheck into...

My daughter just asked today if I would teach her some origami. I don't remember much from when I was a kid and knew how to do it. I told her we'd get a book and figure it out. So it looks like I'm...

My daughter (5 years old) has been looking forward to this day so much. I decided to take the kids out for a picnic and blowing bubbles. Then we're going to plant a few things in my daughters little...

I do not mind lending someone my car. I would have to trust them, and know what kind of driver they are first. If I know they drive well, and have insurance they can use my car anytime.

I try to grocery shop as little as possible. I have a chest freezer, so between that and my own veggies I can usually get away with only shopping once a month, other than stopping in for milk.

Sand buckets, Trick or Treat buckets, Goodwill or garage sale for cheap baskets. One year I did beach buckets that had "tipped" over and arranged everything on top of the table because it all...

I do not get that very often at all! When it does happen though I try to straighten up the house quickly, then read a book or work on my writing.

I really want to make a quilt out of my children's baby clothes. I think it would be so sweet to have in 20 years.

I was thinking about trying to find a class on it, but how hard is it to learn...

This is our situation as well. We live about an hour away from absolutely everything! I like it this way. We have our space, peace and quiet. Then we have the option of a short drive and access to a...

Spring time for me is a lot of grilled food and fresh veggies! My family and I spend as much time as possible outdoors once the weather permits it. We grilled out twice this past weekend, it's just...

I would absolutely charge something for your time. I think anyone would understand that. I would probably figure out what your materials usually run, add your flat fee and just keep each blanket at...

We use Frontline Plus on all of our pets year round. They do get their annual shots and checkups every spring though. It's easiest to remember to do along with spring cleaning!

Right now I have parsley and rosemary. Neither one seem to be coming up well though. This is my first season trying herbs. I thought they would be simple, but I may be doing something wrong.

I do! I'm actually doing mine tomorrow. I've started some preparations today. I look forward to doing it though, and usually do a big deep clean once every 12 weeks or so. I cannot stand clutter.

I'm having a birthday party on Sunday with about 12 kids. They range in age from 3-6. Do you have any crafts you recommend? I'm planning on having them decorate a birthday banner. I would like 1 more...

I take a can of diced tomatoes and mix in 1Tb of syrup. Then top the meatloaf with it. It's the way my mom did it, and the way my house prefers it. So good!
