Boys Will Be…

Nature vs Nurture. The arguments in that debate are that 1) boys and girls are taught to be different versus 2) boys and girls are simply different. It actually surprised me to learn that there was a debate about that… that there could be a debate about that.

Girls’ Night Out (In)

White Chili, Chocolate Cake, & Faith Like Potatoes. My friends would arrive less than three hours from the time that I held the four frozen solid pieces of chicken. I plopped the meat in the big stock pot, covered them with water, and proceeded to make white chili.

Tip: My “New” Stand Mixer

Try replacing the drawer and cabinet door handles or knobs, and the hinges with a nice looking but inexpensive set that will accent the look of the room.

For around $20, you can get a can of countertop treatment which fills in the cuts scratches and dings, and coats the whole counter, making that Formica look better than new in one of 40 possible modern colors.

Rope LED lighting is inexpensive and provides a warm, soft glow under the counter.

Maybe hubby can paint mis-matched appliances to match your other appliances.

Lie-brear-airy Day

The boys love library day. We live in a small town, but our library is wonderful and their children’s section is a brand-new wing.
