    Dinner Time!

    Dinner time is a pain in my skillet. I could easily cook for my entire family. Easy peasy.  Then in the blink of an eye, I am cooking for 2. ACKKKKKK!! I always make too much. Then we eat TOO much. (THEN I wonder why I’m so round??) ANYWAY!! Whine, whine…. (have too! It’s in the NAME of the BLOG!!) Cooking for two is HARD. It sounds stupid to say that but going from a big family to just two gives me a headache. Even though I WHINE about COOKING dinner. I am not whining about dishing up dinner, sitting at the table or even putting dishes in the dishwasher…

    $50 Your Way Giveaway October 2023!!

    Hello, Little Peanuts!! Happy October!!  I am ONLY excited about October because of Halloween. I am NOT ready for snow. I was barely ready for the cold October wind and rain that North Idaho has gotten for the last few days. It’s cold enough to start our very first fire in the new wood-burning stove. Seriously, WHO builds a house on top of a mountain IN IDAHO (almost to the Canadian border) and doesn’t put in a fireplace or a wood-burning stove?!?!  We finally rectified that over the summer. This stove is AMAZING!! THEN!! Because y’all know me and my twisted sense of humor I bought the set of SKULLS!!!…

    Family Vacation Idaho Style!! With The Help of Winning Moves Games!

    July 1st was the start of THE BEST vacation! Our kids drove up to Sandpoint, Idaho to surprise The Husband for his 70th birthday.  What a GREAT surprise that was! More surprising is I was able to keep my big mouth shut for an ENTIRE year!! Are you as surprised as I am?? Alice in the background didn’t look excited for a 3-day car trip. Dan wasn’t too sure either from the look on his face. HOWEVER, it was THE BEST week I’ve had in years. Activities From fishing, daughter Selena was the fishing champ with a total of 6 catches. (We did catch and release fishing). BTW, don’t you…

    Fancy China and KYOKU Japanese Non-Serrated Steak Knives

    When The Husband and I moved to Idaho I TRIED to get rid of a bunch of stuff. Coming from a self professed hoarder that means I gave away 3 things. One of those things was our mismatched plates, bowls and such. I decided that we should use the fancy china that we received as a wedding gift. WHY was I saving it and only using it at Christmas? Our kids aren’t going to want them after we are gone, this set just isn’t their style. While, personally, I love the design. SO why not use them!! If they break, they break. (I’m all for less dishes to wash anyway!)…
