by Barb on February 12, 2012
Outside my window… the sky is blue with a gentle wisping of pink and purple clouds. A light dusting of snow lays over the garden. I am thinking… of my upcoming 44th birthday(yes, I OWN that number).

nourish & create: photography
by Barb on February 10, 2012

bread machine cinnamon rolls
February 7, 2012When I was reading Crystal Paine’s The Money Saving Mom’s Budget book over the weekend, she talked about using her bread machine to create special treats for her family like cinnamon rolls instead of making bread. She buys the sandwich bread at an outlet. Her philosophy is to make the most of her limited time, [...]
freezer organization
February 7, 2012One of my decluttering projects in February has been cleaning out both freezers in the basement, plus re-organizing the remaining contents.

menu plan monday 2.6.12
February 6, 2012I have a busy, busy social schedule this weekend which should be lots of fun, and it means that I need to be mindful of my time in the kitchen. Yesterday, my 3 year old and I prepped carrots, celery, and garlic. Today, we prepped most of the ingredients for tonight’s dinner. I’m going to [...]
weekly/monthly review
February 6, 2012If you’re following me on Facebook, you’ll read my comment about doing my weekly and monthly review on Friday. The review is an idea that I picked up from David Allen’s Getting Things Done. It goes hand in hand with his Action lists.

February 3, 2012I love color! When I did a post about my writing space last year, I shared a glimpse of the wonderful yellow on the walls around me as I write every day. Not only is there lots of color inside my home, I also have a yard full of color. My flower beds are a [...]
