Yesterday was the one year annivesary of the new Shop ‘n Save in our area. They had a lot of sales including Blackberries. You know the ones, they usually sell for $3.99 for a 6 oz box!!! Well, they were on sale for only $1.00. Needless to say, I got about 20 packages. I love ...…
It’s another cold Saturday here in Western Pennsylvania considering it is April 28. Too cold to cook out on the BBQ today! This is a recipe I make usually when the weather is cooler because when it’s nice outside, I like to cook out on the grill as often as possible. I don’t know where ...…
When my husband was appointed to a church in Johnstown he was an Associate Pastor, which meant we had the smaller parsonage. It was a 1950′s brick ranch, it was nice 3 bedroom home. The only problem was the front porch was painted what I called a swimming pool green..I really don’t even know how ...…
I have written a few times now about living in parsonages (church owned houses), so if you are reading this for the first time, just wanted to mention it again. From 2005-2009, we lived in a large 4 bedroom parsonage in the St. Marys, PA area. I really loved that house, it had a lot of ...…
Yesterday, I spent 8 hours in the laundry room/basement cleaning and trying to organize, how is it even possible to spend that much time, it’s only a 10 x 20 foot space? lol It all started because the garment rack (the nice one I bought at Goodwill for only $7.99) that my son had all his clothes ...…

Today, I was just taking some time to search the internet for other sites that might have some good ideas for repurposing. I’m realizing that several “trash 2 treasure” sites also “link” ideas on their blogs/websites. What a great idea and today I found one that I liked so I wanted to share it with ...…
It is a rainy day here in Pennsylvania, the temperature went from 77 degrees yesterday, to 43 degrees today and we are even expecting 1-3 inches of snow tomorrow night into Monday…yes it is really April 21, 2012. We have had such a mild winter and the spring has been gorgeous, now to think of ...…
Yesterday at Goodwill, I found a pair of homemade, lined curtains for only $3.99 for the pair, tiebacks included. The pretty floral pattern had that cottage-look that I love. I am in the process of painting my porch swing and I need a new cushion (the old one was pretty faded) and the cotton material used ...…
