Summer Grillin’ with Pork and Peanut Sauce

by Marie June 11, 2007

I love to grill. I have just discovered how easy it really is. Buy meat, dip meat sometimes, slab it on the grill, flip, and eat. So now that I know I can do this and it tastes good when I do, why would I cook any other way? I have been trying to get [...]

Surf’s Up with Wave Jars

by Marie June 4, 2007

Surf’s up in these fun Wave Jars that you can make with the kids. You will find out that oil and water just dont mix and it’s a good thing. It is fun to discover things in science. I never liked science until I became a teacher and realized science was fun in Kindergarten. But [...]

Do’s and Don’ts of Summer

by Marie June 2, 2007

Summer is here and already roasting HOT. Well, it’s only 88, but feels like fire. I guess it could be worse, like in St. George where my sister is frying eggs on her sidewalk. Oh, I get so excited for June to come, making summer plans, buying sun block. Then comes July and August, and [...]

Happy Campers

by Marie May 29, 2007

We’re back and still dreaming of hot chocolate and smores (or shmores as I call them). We do not miss the rocks in the back (we need cots) or the falling branches from trees 50 feet high (5 campsites up got a few large branches in their RV – SCARY). Our trip started off at Grandma [...]

Make and Take’s Giveaway

by Marie May 17, 2007

I love a good giveaway. The suspense of hearing your name read or the thrill of surprise when you win. But for me, I enter them, and nothing. No cash prize, no great home decor, and no free vacation goes to me. Poor me. So I have decided to start doing giveaways on my blog! [...]

What’s On Your iPod?

by Marie May 14, 2007

I love iTunes. I get the newsletter every Tuesday and they always have a free download. Love it. I usually love the free song. Sometimes they give songs that are not quite what I like to listen to, but most of the time, they’re a hit. Some of my favorite bands these days are: The [...]
