Where old fashioned and modern day collide
Ok y’all… this was my VERY FIRST recipe ever posted to the Mrs! I am approaching my 3rd blog-anniversary, so I thought it would be fun to share re-post it for you… just try to look past my not so awesome photography skills. Hey, we all have to start somewhere! I STILL make this jelly… {read more}
Ok, ever since I made the Cookies & Cream Fudgy Brownies – I have been craving more. I went to the grocery store to get the ingredients to make another batch – and when I got to the cookie aisle, I saw these…. Birthday Cake Oreos! I had an epiphany… right there in… {read more}
I want to share something with you all that I made several years ago, back before I even had a blog. I’m sure most of you are familiar with the thin mattresses that come inside of Pack n Plays. After 3 children, I surely am! Right after I had my son, I kept one inside… {read more}
I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream. I hope I’ve succeeded in getting that song stuck in your head for the rest of the day. (mental note: next song to include in a blog post.. It’s a small world after all) I hope I’ve also succeeded in getting the ice cream cravings… {read more}
I like to consider myself a chocolate connoisseur. And, my children seem to be following in my footsteps. Sadly, chocolate isn’t in the same food group as broccoli and carrots. Boo. So, when I first started seeing the commercials for TruMoo on the tv, of course I was intrigued. Chocolate milk that’s nutritious? Do tell!… {read more}
Ok, I’ll admit it. Cleaning is not my favorite thing to do. I’m just not one of those people who find relaxation in cleaning. My relaxation comes more from things like eating bacon & watching Dirty Dancing in my jammies. So, when something that involves cleaning gets me excited, you know it has to be… {read more}
The warmer months are approaching rapidly, so you know what that means…. ice cream weather! How about a treat that your kids can help you make. This one is so easy that your kids may even be able to make it entirely themselves. Here’s what you need to make 12 pops: 1 container birthday cake… {read more}
Oatmeal is a standard breakfast for so many households, including my own. I wonder how many of you have instant oatmeal packets in your pantry right now! That was me for many years! That is, until – I realized you can make your own! After doing some google searches, I found some great tips for… {read more}
Even though I homeschool my children, mornings can still be pretty hectic around here. There are always things that need to be done, and sometimes I find myself secretly wishing that I was born with 8 arms, like an octopus. But, I wouldn’t call myself octomom for understandable reasons. Maybe I’d be Mrs. Happy Octohomemaker……. {read more}
I love gardening. Well, not actually the work behind the gardening so much – it’s the harvesting that I really look forward to. There is nothing like fresh veggies from your own personal garden! I actually just planted a bunch of things in my vegetable garden, and may have gone a little plant happy at… {read more}
I shared this muffin recipe (and egg container idea) last year on Life Around Home for Earth Day, but never posted the recipe card here on the Mrs. I figured it was perfect timing to add it here as well. Not only are these banana oat mini muffins really good for you, but serving them in… {read more}
One of my all-time favorite cakes is my red velvet cheesecake. It’s so decadent & delicious. That cake is where the idea for this cake came from. I love the confetti cake mix. Maybe I shouldn’t because it’s a mix & all. But I do… I really do. Adding a layer of cheesecake to it… {read more}
