Very few people in life get to be real rock stars. I am one of those people. No, I don’t sing to adoring crowds on a stage, nor do I have any sort of record deal in the works. While I might pick a little guitar (barely), Gibson isn’t signing me up for any endorsement deals anytime soon. But I am no less a rock star, or at least that’s what my wife calls me (I’m not so sure she means it as a good thing but hey, it is what it is...). You see, Kim is the one who takes the kids to school, makes … [Read more...]
Measuring Up
I think, as parents, it’s in our DNA to want our children to be like us. (After all, they have our God-given DNA, right?) It’s not that we think we’re perfect, but, being human, we’re comfortable with ourselves.

Today, I was inspired by some delicious looking gourmet pizza pictures I passed on the internet. I decided to give it a whirl with some of our family's favorite ingredients. The great thing about homemade pizza is that you can add or take away whatever suits your fancy. Start with your favorite Pizza crust. My family likes homemade wheat crusts, but you can do whatever is easy for you & on hand. I have also used my bread machine on the dough cycle just using our basic bread recipe … [Read more...]
How to can strawberry jelly
Canning is a great way to preserve fresh food for a rainy day. Not only does home-canned food taste better, but it’s often cheaper than buying a similar item at the store.

Unfortunately, the perception that most people seem to have of home-canning is that it’s too difficult and time-consuming to actually undertake. Not so, and we intend to prove it! When we talk about canning with other people, we usually tell them … [Read more...]
