How to Start Composting: An Easy Way to Go Green

By Heather 17 Comments

How to start composting

Last weekend, Kevin and I finally finished putting together our compost tumbler.  About 6 weeks ago I found an amazing deal on it at Costco for only $99, very similar to this one.  I was so excited, since I’ve been wanting one for years now. I'm going to tell you exactly how to start composting for your own family - it's so easy! Isn’t she purty? Why compost? There are so many reasons.  For one, it’ll save you money by making your own nutrient-rich soil that your plants will love.  But more ... read more

Easter Bunny Chow

By Heather 317 Comments

It's hard to believe that Easter is just around the corner. Which means that we are already working on our Easter snacking. A few months ago I made this Salty & Sweet Snack Mix which we love, but lately we are craving something a bit sweeter. I decided to make Easter Bunny Chow using Chex™ cereal and a few other goodies. There were several varieties in my store include rice and corn but I went with the Gluten Free Chocolate Chex™. I figured we'd be adding chocolate to the cereal anyway, ... read more

Canvas Print for Game Room

We made our big move to Florida a little over a year ago and have been in our house for about five months. While we're happy to be here, it doesn't quite feel like home yet. It takes quite a bit of time - and trial and error to get your house feeling like home. It's a process, and I am pleased with our new framed art from CanvasDiscount.com. My son received a gaming desk as an early Christmas present a few months ago. He was so happy to have a desk to match the gaming chair he got for ... read more

Last minute snacks for the big game

By Heather Leave a Comment

Next Sunday will be the last official game of the season. I will watch a little, but mostly I'm just there for the snacks and commercials. What about you, and who are you rooting for? Having nachos on deck is an absolute must for the ultimate game viewing experience, so why not make it good for your gut too? Prepare this drool-worthy snack following the Gut Friendly Nachos recipe from pgs. 39 - 41 of the online Small Town Cookbook. Small Town Cultures' gourmet plant-based probiotics are ... read more

DIY Crayon Heart Classroom Valentines

By Heather 32 Comments

For some reason, I can't stand crayons that aren't perfect. We had a box full of broken, unwrapped, sample-sized and other misfit crayons and I wanted no part of them. They had to go, I hated them. But I loved the idea of making something new, useful even from these throw-aways. Make studs out of these duds! I've seen countless pins on pinterest on how to make heart-shaped crayons using your own sliced-and-diced bits and pieces. This is what worked for me. I found this Wilton Ruffled 6 ... read more

Boneless buffalo wing lettuce wraps

Boneless buffalo wing lettuce wraps

I'm going to go ahead and be completely honest here and tell you the truth. I'm really not that into football. While I look forward to fall and football season each year, the game is secondary. It's the tailgating aspect of football that I enjoy. The chili, the finger foods, the wings. Oh how I love buffalo wings! Whether you decide to  purchase a bucket of wings from your favorite market or make them them at home, these lettuce wraps are a great way to enjoy your favorite finger foods ... read more

Awesome Crockpot Macaroni and Cheese

By Heather 17 Comments

A copy of Stock the Crock was provided for review. This post contains affiliate links. My crockpot has seen a variety of different recipes. Some turned out amazing, others a total disaster. I tend to slow cook more during the cooler months when everyone is craving comfort food. Nothing is more comforting than classic mac and cheese. This Awesome Crockpot Macaroni and Cheese is off the charts. Creamy and delicious and the recipe is as easy as it gets: Just add all of the ingredients to your slow ... read more

DIY Cat Toy

Finding the right cat litter is the single most important decision for cats and their owners. If you have a cat child in the house, you know just how important that is. We tried to switch to a natural kitty litter to eliminate the dust, but our decision turned out to be disastrous. One of our cats did not take to it and started marking around the house. Cat urine has a horrible strong stench to it, so it's crucial that you find litter that counteracts that smell so that it doesn't dominate ... read more
