Easy Taco Soup

by Nora Leave a Comment

Taco Soup is one of my family’s favorite!  They love the fact that the house smells so yummy and also that they get to use sour cream, cheese, avocado and chips for toppings.  They always got back for seconds, so leftovers are out of the question.  If you want to have lunch for the next day to bring to work, I suggest making much more than you think you need.

DIY Gift Basket

by Nora Leave a Comment

This is a super easy and awesome gift idea!  My oldest daughter had a friend who had knee surgery and she wanted to make her something special and give her a few things to keep her occupied while she recovers.  This small gesture put a big smile on her friend’s face.                             We went to the store to buy a few supplies.  We picked up a variety of candies, a

School Zones = Slow Down

by Nora Leave a Comment

School zones are not my enemy any more. For years, I have felt stress every time I drive through an active school zone. My shoulders tense; my jaw clenches. In fact, I often drive out of my way just to avoid slowing down. Driving 20 miles per hour does not fit well with the overly scheduled life I lead. Between the kids’ school and activities, running errands, cooking, cleaning, bill-paying,

How to Remove Coffee Stains from Your Favorite Mug

by Nora Leave a Comment

I enjoy a nice hot cup of tea each morning, especially in the winter. I love starting the day with a bit of warmth. I don’t like that no matter how much I soak, scrub, and wash my tea cups, they eventually get stained. The mugs I like to drink out of have sentimental value to me. Many have artwork my children created years ago printed on them. Others are

Make Your Own Shampoo – Easy Recipe

by Nora Leave a Comment

DIY Shampoo is an easy and inexpensive way to make sure you know exactly what ingredients are in your hair care products.  These shampoos and “conditioners” are very simple to make and effective to use.  They will not be “creamy” or solid, so I use them in a spray bottle.  They will lather, but the mixture itself will be runny.  My favorite is the Peppermint Shampoo and I even add
