I had planned on making a chicken casserole a couple weeks ago, but once I had the chicken finished, I just decided to do tacos instead, which was a good thing, because after trying one corn tortilla, we realized they tasted awful, like laundry soap. Would have ruined the whole casserole! This Shredded Chicken with Corn and Pepper was easy and awesome in tacos and burritos. It made quite a bit!

I'm definitely not the first or last person to do this, but I wanted to share since my daughter was thrilled with this project! My 3 year old loves to purposely break crayons and remove the paper.

Do you garden? My husband and I started our first garden this year and I just might be in love with gardening. This year we planted sugar snap peas, carrots, onions, tomatoes, peppers, corn, red and russet potatoes..and then we ran out of room and got too lazy (and ran out of time!) to expand our garden this year! That loan tomato is my baby right now. :) Gardening can take a lot of work, and

I spotted some green glass beads at Walmart a few days ago for just two bucks and had good old St. Patty's day in mind. Today during the kiddos nap time, I got to work making them into a necklace: Reminds me of stringed peas.Good thing I like peas.:)If string peas aren't your thing, this will work with any small beads.The pack I used had 126 beads, in two sizes.

Remember these?... and this?... I made those for my girls' room months ago, planning to start the quilts for their bed shortly after. I probably should have started the quilt before the decor, but that's just how I roll... Unfortunately, how I also "roll", is I put things off forever. I have so many unfinished/unstarted projects.{unstarted is not a real word} I'm finally getting around to doing

March already?! Here's an easy recipe. Mexican Lasagna. Let me tell you, don't judge a dish by it's recipe...or looks. When my husband saw what I was putting in it, he gave me this weird look. I responded with a smile and "I hope your hungry!"  He said "uh...yeah...me too." When my 3 year old saw me put it on the table, she said "Oh, it's beautiful mommy!" Really?...looks wise..that's a

I've been totally stumped about what to do for the hubsters for V-day this year. I just made him a scrapbook and CD for Christmas, so doing either of those was out of the question. I'd love to do a weekend getaway, but that too is out of the question. I've done the coupon thing before so I didn't want to do those again until I saw these free printable ones on Tatertots and Jello: I printed out

I've been wanting a piano bench for quite some time, I was so tired of my hubby stealing one of our table chairs while he played the piano. {He plays, not me}. A few weeks I spotted one with worn walnut legs and a nasty fabric covered top for $6. I grabbed the sold sticker right away and told my hubby we were getting it. I've

No offense to anyone who might happen to own this same coat. I took it home {after paying of course!}, washed it, replaced the buttons with new ones and removed the flowers/leaves.

Swagbucks TV, your source for rewarding video content on the web, now has continuous play. What does that mean? If you start a video and let it play to the end, a new video will automatically start. You now have an easier opportunity to win swagbucks multiple times for watching videos. I've earned over 75 swagbucks from watching swagbucks videos here and there over the last month and that number

Read any good books lately? This last week I finished reading Letter From Home. If you are looking for a book to uplift your mood and brighten your spirits, this is not the book for you. It's a mystery and while I did think it was a good book, it could have been titled A Series of Unfortunate Events. The story, set in the summer of 1944, is about a 13 year old girl named Gretchen Gilman who is

We had some 2x4s that Hubby brought home {for free!} so I got him to cut some for me and I got building. In the middle of my hard work {ok, this wasn't really hard work!}, my little one said "OH!
