Not JUST A Housewife

Simple Berry Tarts

Stacy — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:05:16 +0000

I love working in the kitchen with my boys. These “tarts” are so easy that my boys can help make them. And they are perfect for summer! All I did was use a sugar cookie recipe and then pressed the dough into lightly greased muffin pans and then baked them for the regular cookie time. [...]

My Driveway got a MAKEOVER!

Stacy — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:06:39 +0000

Are y'all ready to behold the best makeover a driveway could ever receive?

Okay so maybe this wasn't exactly the type of makeover you were expecting ;) But the new(ish) van did improve how our home and driveway look! And we did do some improvements such as painting the garage doors, adding a new light, adding house numbers, and cleaning the oil stain on the cement. Either way, it is a HUGE improvement.

The Grass Is Greener On The Other Side….. Or Is It???

Stacy — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 02:24:47 +0000

Sometimes I am very introspective and get lost in my thoughts. I have been thinking about something and I felt inspired to share. After reading comments on several Facebook pages and other blogs about bloggers and their perfect lives, it started to make me think. There are times I still find myself being envious of [...]

Hexagon Greenhouse

Stacy — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:06:56 +0000

I realized the other day that I posted about my green house and directed you to the crafting for charity event but I never actually shared my tutorial with you. Here is how I turned an updated curio cabinet into a greenhouse! I originally was going to build one from scratch. But I had a [...]

Blueberry Yogurt Bars

Stacy — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 14:24:19 +0000

I have been looking for healthier versions of creamies and popsicles. In the last several months we have become fans of plain Greek yogurt. We use it as a sour cream substitute, in smoothies, and with fruit and granola.

I came up with another way to use it the other day. We made Blueberry Creamies :)

Freshening up my porch! {And a Giveaway!}

Stacy — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:00:01 +0000

When spring hits here I go full force outside for two reasons. One, because I have been cooped up all winter and I am dying to work outside. And two, after a long winter everything outside looks dirty and homely.

Monday felt like a Saturday because my husband was home from work for Memorial day. So I almost spaced posting this party. I have been working hard but I don’t have anything blog worthy to show for it. Framing walls, yard work, and planting seeds in the garden don’t really make for pretty pictures [...]

What I Have Been Up To……

Stacy — Mon, 20 May 2013 10:00:40 +0000

So what have I been up to? Because it certainly hasn’t been blogging! At least not as much as usual. I went from 4+ posts a week to 2 as soon as April hit. It has been crazy around here. I think May rivals December as my busiest time of year. Spring hits and not [...]

Spring Mantel

Stacy — Mon, 13 May 2013 22:11:07 +0000
