Grannie’s Tuna Salad
Mr. Awesome, his dad, and his brother went fishing a bit ago and his brother had brought some tuna salad for lunch. I guess it was pretty good because I keep hearing about it and about how amazing it is to eat with Frito scoops! I haven’t tried it yet but plan to do so soon!
I never got the chance to meet Grannie but I’ve tried some of her recipes and they have been AMAZING so I’m sure this one will be too!

Special Holiday Meals: Valentine’s Day Menu & Activities
It’s so hard to believe that we are almost through half of February!! Where oh where has the time gone?
We’ve been busy around here with the greenhouse, moving animals, setting up compost systems, and getting garden beds ready for planting, which should happen pretty soon. We are hoping to get some potatoes planted this week.
I believe that Valentine’s Day started out as a religious holiday, but it has now become a major spending event for those who are romantically involved. It’s crazy to see the amount of money spent on candies and cut flowers! We watched a clip on World Watch, and it was eye-opening! You can read more about Valentine’s Day traditions HERE.
Valentine’s Day: A Day To Celebrate or Not?
I can remember the days when my older kids went to public school… I’d always be scrambling to come up with money for Valentine’s and candies to send with them. Then my kiddos would come home with stories of how other parents had surprised their kiddos with balloons, chocolates, and flowers. I’d always feel like I hadn’t done ‘ENOUGH’ and I’d scramble some more to buy them a little box of candy or something special.

Garden Updates, Greenhouse, Flower Planting, and a Pantry Challenge
Hey everyone!
How is your new year going so far? We’ve been busy as usual and trying to get as much done as we can before the summer comes… although these lower-than-normal temperatures have been making that a little difficult.
Our gardens are still going and we are so thankful for that as we have really been enjoying the food that we are getting from them. Up until a week ago we still had tomatoes and green beans… the tomatoes don’t look too happy at the moment and the green beans are a little sad too but I think they might pull through when we get past these crazy temps.

Polar Express 2024
Hey everyone!
How are you doing? We are doing great… I had to take a couple of days to recuperate from the Polar Express Party. It was so much fun but it did take a lot out of me… I ended up with a migraine that night and spent the next two days in bed with a dreaded FIBRO FLARE but it was worth it… everyone seemed to have a great time.
I didn’t get as many pictures as I should have as I was too busy taking it all in… the smiles, the laughter, and just the blessing of being surrounded by friends and family.
We made some Fudge and Sourdough for gifts plus we still had some things left over from the baby shower and wedding earlier this year so those were given as gifts as well… the kids got lots of little toys and some cocoa and popcorn for their own movie night plus some really cute cups that I found at Dollar Tree…
