The Non’s Killer Beans
This is called multi-tasking. Amber, my son Zachary’s girlfriend wanted another of his favorite recipes The Non’s Killer Beans. I would write it out here too. How smart am I?! Okay, fine ………. it’s just easier to type on the laptop than typing it all out on my phone. So, HECK, lets just make a post our of it. Truly!!!! This is a REALLY good recipe especially when it’s cold outside. I promise it sounds weird but it works!! It’s SUPER easy to make. Tastes even better day two! It’s easy to double or quadruple. ADDED bonus is it can be done in the insta-pot or the crock-pot OR stove top pot. Everything is done in one pot. I personally use my insta-pot YES, it has a vinyl saying on it.

Use Your English Degree as a Social Media Manager
Do you often find yourself surfing the internet and wondering if there is any way to use your internet skills to get a job? One of the hottest jobs going right now is digital media manager.

Trail Cam Friday
As you know we have gotten a LOT of snow. Waist high on me! Taller than Bear! It’s stunning but it’s COLD!! The trail cam captured some great action shots, like falling snow. Starting with my two favorite shots. One when the tree dropped all the snow. Second when the smaller deer tells the other “LOOK over there!! It’s ELVIS!!” Last week, I accidentally reset the calendar. So these pictures started on the 9th and stopped on the 15th. Technology when it’s cold outside is NOT my friend. These next few are from a second trail cam Okay trudging back to the trail cam. Hopefully, not to be dumped on with snow… mostly because there is no stick in the camera and it would be a wasted funny picture! Back, safe and sound. But it is gorgeous outside right now.

With spring around the corner, your garden will be getting ready to burst into life. Which makes now the perfect time for us to share 3 tips for improving your garden this year, giving you a few weeks to start making your plans and preparations. Pay attention to the structure The first thing worth doing is paying attention to the structure of your garden. You can make a real impact by tidying this up or changing it. Repair or replace any broken fencing, or perhaps you could give the fences a new color.

You could reshape the lawns, add new beds, cut down trees or add new pathways. It might just be that some of these things need…
