Hoppin' down the Bloggy Trail.

I love to read posts where the writer shares blog posts of others that they have found interesting or helpful. A great example of this can be found on The Mother Load. I think these posts of Amy's are some of my favorites that she does.  I thought I'd be very un-original and steal borrow Amy's idea and share some great tips or projects that I've found in the blogosphere.  I hope you enjoy.

Clean your dishwasher with KoolAid.  Great, another thing I have to clean.

I still have a whole bag full of empty formula cans that I could use to make this ABC game for Bean.  I'd like to really emphasize the "could" part of that sentence.

I want an Easy Bake oven so that I can have one of these Easy Bake Oven Cookbooks.  I mean BEAN wants an Easy Bake oven.  Bean.  Not me.  No, not me.

I really want a terrarium.  If I were going to make one, I'd use this tutorial.  But I wished Hubz would use it instead and make me one.  It's not like he does anything else, you know.

I think the Pioneer Woman should be investigated to make sure she's really human.  I mean nobody but her, Martha Stewart and maybe June Cleaver could come up with this idea for these really cute flower pot desserts.  I pray to God y'all know who June Cleaver is.  I overheard a youngster say the other day "Who's Carol Brady?"  What?  Get off my planet.

I actually made some of this homemade hair detangler the other day.  It works pretty good...when you remember to spray it on...

I love this recipe for blueberry muffins made from baking mix.  Well, duh!  How else do you make muffins?!?  Oh yeah!  There are people out there that *gasp* BAKE FROM SCRATCH.  Egads!

I grew up on a farm.  Yes, it's true.  We had horses, pigs, cows, a turkey once, and some devil-possessed chickens, too.  Every summer, and I am not exaggerating here, I would spend my summer vacation shucking corn, shelling beans, snapping peas.  I HATED IT.  I would tell my Granny that when I grew up I would never, ever plant a garden.  I told her there was a reason God invented the grocery store and it was to save me from all that work.  Now, I am trying to convince Hubz to help me do some Square Foot Gardening.  My Granny is probably looking down laughing and saying "I told you so."

  2. My mom and dad had a pretty nice sized garden and I remember snapping green beans and doing the corn and peas too. I actually kinda miss sitting out on a warm day and just doing that with my sister

  3. Thanks a bunch for featuring my lemonade Kool-Aid trick :) I really appreciate it!

    My husband made me some cute square foot gardens last year and I absolutely love them! They don't look tacky and for some reason, weeding gardens that are "squared" off seem much faster and easier to do. I can't wait to start planting my garden this year!
