Special Bedtime Moments: Photo-Canvas (Review)
| October 1, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Inspirations, Product Reviews |
One of my favorite times of the day is bedtime. I love the singing, the dancing, the cuddles and the books read to my children. I love those magical moments spent with my three precious babies. A few months ago my husband worked late and I had the pleasure of doing our bedtime routine by myself. My children were super hyper that night and full of giggles. I lay my… more
Gluten Free Apple Chunk Cinnamon Muffins
| September 30, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Gluten-Free |
As a mother, one of my goals is to raise fabulous little cooks and bakers so when they leave the nest they can create healthy and delicious meals. I grew up watching my mom and dad drive through the drive through, but I never learned how to cook. Cooking and baking is a fun event in my house, and this past week for homeschool I asked my son Tristan if… more
Personalized Pumpkin Art
| September 29, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Kid's Corner |
This past week my kids and I took the entire Monday to do nothing but art projects. I love Fall and I needed some new decorations to spice up my mantle and other areas of my home. I love to decorate with art made by my kids like here and here. One of my favorite art projects as a kid was painting pumpkins. I picked up a couple of fake… more
Roasted Tomato Soup
| September 24, 2012 | Posted by Amee under General, Gluten-Free, Vegetarian |
I love tomatoes they are one of my favorite foods. I love to eat tomatoes in salads, with a little salt right off the plant, in sauces, but my favorite way to eat tomatoes is in soup. Growing up my mom made grilled cheese sandwiches and out of a can tomato soup. I thought it was the best soup ever until I was visiting my sister’s house in the Carolina’s.… more

Can summer really be officially over? I feel like I should have done more with my kids or gone more places, but then again I am so excited for Fall. I love this time of year with the cooler temperatures, the color changes in the leaves and all those glorious yummy food to eat and smell. This past week I took my kids to the park for a picnic lunch.… more
Cooking Asparagus Made Easy
| September 19, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Appetizers, General, Gluten-Free, Super-Easy Recipes, Vegetarian |
Growing up in parts of Western Nevada I remember taking long walks with my parents along the drainage canals that fed water to the local farmers crops. Along side these canals grew wild asparagus. It was fun picking and foraging the asparagus that grew like weeds near the water’s edge. My mom made many meals with our picked asparagus and it is one of my favorite vegetables. Unfortunately, asparagus gets… more
Fall Crayon Stained Glass Art Craft
| September 18, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Kid's Corner |
I love to create with crayons. This summer my kids and I created melted crayon canvas art. The art work turned out so beautiful I now have their pieces of art framed and hanging on my bedroom wall. Today’s post uses melted crayon again, but this time it is stained glass crayon art! Yesterday I had an art play date at my house. I had about 8-10 kiddos all excited… more

Gluten Free Zucchini Bread
| September 10, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Gluten-Free |
My hubby and I usually plant an enormous garden. To us it is fun spending hours and hours maintaining the garden, and then canning or freezing everything that grows out of it. I tried to garden this year on my deck, because having a new baby I did not have the time to keep up on the weeding. Everything started growing fine, but one thing I realized is most of… more
Boiling Pot of Water A Stain Fighter?
| September 8, 2012 | Posted by Amee under How To . . . |
The other day I fed my kids a huge carton of red raspberries and somehow my mischievous five-year-old son walked off with his bowl. My son is known to experiment with his food. To my horror my son had taken his raspberries and stomped them into the floor. The raspberries had been in my tan colored carpet for at least three or four hours before I noticed the stain. The… more
Easy and Safe Wall Cleaner
| September 4, 2012 | Posted by Amee under General, How To . . . |
Three years ago I hired a professional painter to come in and totally repaint the interior walls of my house. Two cats, a husband, three kids and everyday wear and tear the heavy traffic areas look worn and dirty. There is the dried banana smeared on the wall by my son. The black marks and smudges from shoes and of course no house with little children would be without artwork.… more

Nutella Banana Sushi
| August 27, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Appetizers, Breakfast, Desserts, Gluten-Free |
I love bananas and I love sushi! When I saw this cute banana sushi pin on Pinterest, I got excited, until I clicked through to the recipe and saw they used wheat bread. We eat gluten free as a family for my son Tristan and gluten free bread does not and would not wrap around a banana like wheat bread does. I tried to make some banana sushi using rice tortillas,… more

| August 23, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Gluten-Free, Gluten-Free Reviews |
Today I have something so delicious and mouthwatering to share with you, even my taste buds are fired up as I type. Do you love chocolate?
