Sweet, Sweet Corn
The summer solstice will be here in just a couple days. Here in Florida, we don’t really need the reminder of the summer solstice to let us know those hot days are coming. They are already here! But the changing of the seasons is a wonderful way to welcome new traditions and the ways of […]
{A Pause for the Finer Things in Life}
Weekly, I post one or two pictures that demonstrate how the most simple things in life are, in fact, the finer things–those that mean the most and will be among the most precious of memories. So here is this week’s picture. Enjoy!
Five Tasty Summer Time Recipes
I’m so excited about summer time! Not only do we have some some great adventures planned, but I have so many fun ideas for delicious summer treats for our family and for the get-togethers we will undoubtedly have. I’ve been checking out some tasty treats that some wonderful people have floating around out there and […]
{Recipe} Vegetable Soup
We have been blessed this year by an abundance of tomatoes. I am the only raw tomato eater in this house, although Laelia will sneak them from my salad. Of course, should I put them directly on her plate they would get rejected and sent to the floor for the dog to gobble them up, […]
{Recipe} Cast Iron Skillet Pizza
Well, I hope you all had a fabulous Mother’s Day. If you’re a mother, I hope you were blessed by those who surround you. If you aren’t a mother, I hope you made yours and others around you feel special! For Christmas, I received a cast iron skillet from a friend. I’ve been trying different […]
{Recipe} Wrapped BBQ Chicken
I made something oh so super tasty the other day! I was in the kitchen, about to make dinner and I thought I’d do something a little different than I normally do. I’m a meat, potatoes, veggie kinda gal. I just love that combination. I do other meals too of course, and I LOVE me […]
A Day in the Life of the Ferguson Family
Each morning begins the same. I awake to a child “whispering” in my ear or to the wakeful sounds of a hungry Laelia. There are usually four people in our queen sized bed, but sometimes a fifth person sneaks in there too. Although it’s cramped and sometimes there is a complaint or two about who […]
Cake for Laelia
Well, even though her birthday has long since passed, I still wanted to do a fun birthday cake shoot with Laelia. My good intentions to do so had not worked out, but this week we were able to do it. I took her in her room where it was just her and me and closed the door […]
Thanksgiving Hostess Gifts
As we all know, Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching. Is it just me or has this year flown by incredibly fast? November is half way over? Really? I’ve enjoyed just about every moment, but it just seems to be racing by…such is life with kids, huh? Anyway. I was doing some surfing this evening. I love to […]
Homemade Potato Chips
In our house, we make the occasional batch of homemade French fries. They are fantastic! Recently, I decided to give making potato chips a try. They were so easy to make! First, I started heating my oil. I don’t have a fryer, although this may be an easier way to go. I had one that […]
