Scrapbook

Today, while packing for our upcoming move, I came across this scrapbook that I had made for someone else back in 1992 when I was 15-16 years old.

That was 20 years ago, folks!!!

The young girls in our church  had decided at the beginning of the year to do what we called "Secret Grandmothers". We put the names of all the older ladies in our church in a  pot and each drew one. The idea was that each girl would give an anonymous gift about once a month or so to their "secret grandmother" during that year. Then at the end of the year, we would have what we called a "Revealing Party" (hahaha) and the grandmothers would get to find out who had been their secret granddaughter all this time!

Once the ladies found out what was going on, they began to eagerly look forward to this! And they would speculate who they thought had their name! It was humorous at times. Many of these women were also widows and lived alone so this was another source of joy and encouragement to them. This simple activity  helped to bridge the gap between the young and the old and lasting friendships were made.

The lady whose name I drew this particular year was named Blanche. She was one of my own Grandma's close friends. Mom helped me come up with the idea of making a scrapbook for her, giving the scrapbook and a completed page or two at the beginning of the year and then adding to it each month. I also gave other gifts here and there but the scrapbook was the main one.

This was really before the whole photo album scrapbooks became so popular so this was a more "old fashioned" model. Truly, a scrap book! I cut pictures and poems from magazines, used stencils and stickers and pretty paper from wrapping paper and wall paper to create this book. Blanche loved to read, quilt, garden and cook so I made special pages that reflected these interests.

I had a wonderful time making this book and Blanche really enjoyed it, too!

The "great reveal"-- isn't this a hoot! Complete with fabric padded frame--I got a huge kick out of this!

Blanche passed away a few years ago and her family passed this album on to my mom to give to me. At first, I wondered what I would do with it and put it up with our photo albums. But today as I pulled it out, I realized what a nice memory this was to have and how many of the pictures, poems and stories,etc. reflect my interests and who I am as a person even now! I also thought the littles would enjoy looking at these pictures!

Have you ever made a scrapbook?

Four Weeks To Fill Your Freezer: Chicken Veggie Soup

Today's' freezer cooking session involved putting ingredients for Chicken Veggie Soup into the crockpot and letting it simmer all day. Doesn't get any easier than that!

This used broth and chicken from yesterday's chicken cooking session and a variety of odds and ends from the freezer.

I froze most of the soup in muffin pans for easy lunches-- 4 "soup pucks" fills our smaller mugs perfectly.I put a meal's worth in the refrigerator for a lunch this week too. I don't see any reason to fill the freezer and then not have anything in the house to eat right now! So I try to balance it out by cooking for both at the same time!

As with split pea soup, I didn't use a recipe for this but added broth, tomato juice, canned tomatoes, carrots, celery, onion, chicken and spices to the pot and let it cook!

**For more freezer cooking inspiration, check out the challenge on Money Saving Mom--she even freezes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!**

Painting With Toilet Paper Tubes

For a different twist on painting, I set out a recycled toilet paper tube for Toddler Girl to make prints with.

Turns out she's a rather aggressive painter.

Super fun!

Four Weeks To Fill Your Freezer: Chicken Breasts

Heading into the 2nd week of Crystal's freezer cooking challenge, here's a quick recap of what's made its way into my freezer so far!

• Crustless Spinach Quiche
• Cooked Lentils and Millet
• Split Pea Soup, Ham and Broccoli Casserole and Pina Colada Pops

Counting a few freezer meals I already had in the freezer prior to beginning this challenge, I now have 12 main dishes at the ready. This not counting a few sides and meal components such as cooked ground beef and the above mentioned lentils and millet. My goal is to have around 24 frozen meals by the end of May. This would have us set for a couple of weeks worth of dinners plus some lunches during our move.

Honestly, I haven't really made a plan going into this challenge. Instead, I've been going by what's available to cook as I dig through the freezer and pantry and what I find on sale at the grocery store!

I purchased a couple big trays of split chicken breasts last week which were the inspiration for today's freezer cooking session. Split chicken breasts go on sale for $.99 a pound often in my area and I've discovered that with just a knife and a few minutes of time, I can quickly cut them into boneless skinless chicken breasts and tenders myself. This saves a lot of money and I get a lot more meat for my dollar as well.

I started with cutting the chicken off the bone, going ahead and throwing the meaty bones right into the crockpot to cook the meat and make broth. I put the chicken tenders in a baking dish and covered them with BBQ sauce for tonight's dinner.

From the 2 trays of meat, I got 8 chicken breasts. It didn't take long to prepare them for freezing:

• 2-Mexican Chicken Skillet meals: Each kit included 2 cubed chicken breasts and chopped onion and green peppers. I bagged the chicken and veggies separately then put them together into a gallon bag. Fajita kits can also be made with this same  concept.
• 1- Israeli Spice Chicken: 2 breasts coated with Israeli seasoning blend and placed in a zipper bag ready for grilling or to be cooked in a pan.
• 2- Cubed Chicken Breasts: 1 cubed chicken breast in a bag. perfect for throwing into stir fries!

Plus I have a bowl of broth and 4 cups of chopped chicken from cooking the meaty bones!  Don't be surprised if the chicken finds its way into some other freezer sessions!

Four Weeks To Fill Your Freezer: Split Pea Soup, Broccoli Ham Casserole and Homemade Popsicles

I was ready for today's freezer cooking and ended up preparing 3 different things!

First off, I filled the crockpot with ingredients for Split Pea Soup. I don't use a recipe for it but add dried split peas, chopped onion and celery, some spices and water. I also had a large bacon end piece that I added to the pot for a great flavor. (I buy packages of nitrate free bacon ends and pieces at Trader Joe's for $2.99/pound. They are delicious and are wonderful for added flavor!) Turn crockpot to low and let cook all day.

I had all the ingredients to try these Pina Colada Popsicles I found on Pinterest. They were quick to make and we already sampled some and they are delicious! I have the feeling they won't last long in the freezer!

Also found a small bag of chopped ham in the freezer so added that to some broccoli for a Broccoli Ham Casserole. I needed to quickly throw a dish together for our church fellowship a couple of months ago and a quick look in a casserole cookbook led me to a yummy looking broccoli and ham casserole. However, I didn't have all the necessary ingredients available nor were some of them items that I usually cook with. Within a few minutes, I'd come up with my own variation of broccoli and ham casserole with stuff I had on hand and what I feel is a bit more of a real food version. We really like this simple casserole!

Broccoli Ham Casserole

1 (16 ounce) bag frozen broccoli
1 cup chopped cooked ham
1/2 cup mayonnaise--I'm a Duke's snob but feel free to use whatever brand you prefer!
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese plus a bit extra for topping
Croutons for topping--optional

Cook broccoli according to package directions. Stir in ham, mayo and cheese. Spread into a small baking dish. Top with extra cheese and croutons, if desired.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until heated through.

If freezing-- Prepare as directed but do not bake. Wrap well and freeze. When ready to use, thaw overnight in fridge and bake as directed. If you don't have time to thaw, add extra baking time and it should be fine!

Split pea soup will be packaged in Mason jars and muffin tins to freeze.  For the popsicles that I froze in the ice cube tray, I froze 30-40 minutes then stuck popsicle sticks in each one. We ate the ones in the cups as soon as they froze semi-solid!:-)

Four Weeks To Fill Your Freezer: Lentils and Millet

Ok, so today's freezer offering is rather boring but useful-- cooked lentils and millet all ready to throw into soups, grain salads, casseroles or heat up and eat on their own for a quick meal.

In yesterday's freezer post, I mentioned preparing to move. Well, moving gives me the desire to clean things out and use them up! So I've found some items in the freezer and pantry that I could go ahead and cook up and have ready to eat!

We eat a good amount of lentils and even though they are relatively quick-cooking as legumes go, it's handy to have some already cooked up for even faster meals!

We don't eat a lot of millet but I found a zipper bag of millet in the freezer and thought we could go ahead and use that up. I figured we could use it instead of rice for meals, add it to grain salads or make this yummy looking Southwestern casserole.

I cooked the lentils at the same time I was preparing supper tonight (yesterday by the time you read this!). And simmered the millet while washing dishes and cleaning up the kitchen.

Yield: 3 containers of lentils (varying amounts in the 1-2 cup range) and 6 (2 cup) bags of millet.

Into the freezer they go!

Four Weeks To Fill Your Freezer-- Crustless Spinach Quiche

I was excited to see that this month's challenge on Money Saving Mom is freezer cooking. Every weekday for the next 4 weeks, Crystal will be making at least one food item for her freezer and she's inviting us to join her!

Well, I don't know if I'll be able to do something every. single. day. but I'm going to try to participate at least 3 days every week if I can. We are planning to move sometime in June, Lord willing, and I was wanting to stock up my freezer to help us eat well and more inexpensively throughout this busy time.

My hope is that as the moving boxes fill up, so will the freezer!

I discovered that I had all the ingredients to make a Crustless Spinach Quiche so that's what I did today.  I made two--one for eating this week and one to freeze for later. This makes a terrific breakfast, lunch or light dinner!

My recipe is here. Today I used frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry), a little bacon, chopped onion, and a combination of cheddar and feta cheeses. And of course, eggs, milk, salt and pepper.

To freeze crustless quiches: Mix up and bake following recipe instructions. Let cool. Wrap well--I like to double wrap with plastic wrap and then cover with foil. Using a Sharpie marker, label the foil with what it is, the date and how to prepare for serving. Freeze.

To serve: Remove from freezer and let thaw in fridge overnight. Be sure to remove plastic wrap before heating! Cover with foil and heat at 350 degrees for around 30 minutes or until heated through. Can also be thawed and then each slice heated individually in microwave, if desired. Or once thawed, quiche can be served cold!

Firsts

I realized a few weeks ago that Baby Boy(1) hasn't experienced many of the activities I usually try to do with the babies. Granted, he doesn't seem to be any worse for wear and certainly hasn't lacked for attention and interaction! But he's typically down for a nap when I do special activities with Toddler Girl(2).

So I was grateful for opportunities in the past few weeks to spend a little more one on one time with Baby Boy and introduce a few new experiences to him!

First play dough. 

Reaction: Loved!

First drawing with markers.

Reaction: Liked very much. 

Note: I like using paper towel for early marker drawings. It's absorbent and is perfect for the dots that are usually a toddler's first drawings. While you certainly want to use supervision with any small child and markers, markers are much easier for a small child to use than crayons since crayons require a lot more effort and pressure to make noticeable marks on the paper. So I usually start with markers first for very young toddlers and then change it up with crayons as they get a bit older.  Washable markers are our friends!

First water play.

Reaction: Not totally into this which surprised me since he loves washing his hands! But it was a new experience and one that I think will be more enjoyed as he gets older. I got out a colander towards the end which he really seemed to like using!

To bake eggs in a muffin tin:


Grease muffin tin. Break one egg into each hole. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes or until set to your liking. We like yolks still runny. Let cool a minute before removing to plate.


When I do this, I bake a whole dozen and then refrigerate the leftover for several days worth of breakfasts!

Inexpensive Photo Album Gifts

Since we got a camera that takes better pictures, I've enjoyed taking pictures of the littles throughout the year and then compiling them into a small album for their birthdays.

Not only is it a pretty easy gift but also one that parents really love and appreciate! And all littles love to look at pictures of themselves.

Last year for Toddler Girl's 1st birthday, I had a coupon code for a free Shutterfly photo book. It turned out beautifully and I only had to pay shipping.

Without a coupon code, however, photo books are a little out of my gift budget so I began thinking of a simpler option for Baby Boy's 1st birthday in March and Toddler Girl's birthday in April.

I found that by purchasing small basic "brag book' type albums at Dollar Tree  for $1 each and then getting about 20-30 photos printed, my cost was around $5 per album. Less than shipping for a free photo book!

But...these cheap little albums are boring and the selection of covers was lacking. Hmmm... I noticed  that I could replace the cover art with pictures or my own art to personalize it, so that's what I did!

I used a combination of scrapbook paper, fabric and a little Heat and Bond adhesive (glue if using paper) to create cute monogrammed covers.

Not only are these albums inexpensive but they're a super easy and personalized gift too!

Trash Picking!

The Small Folk will be cheering when they see today's trash picked treasures!

These were FILTHY but in good condition so I hauled them home and gave them a good scrubbing!

Our fleet of outdoor riding/push toys.

You'll notice two are the same. That's ok...we also have two toddlers here!

Simple Toddler Activity: Clothespin Poke

Most of the activities I make for the resident toddlers are super easy and use supplies I already have. I especially like to incorporate recycled items and an activity gets bonus points if I can quickly assemble it while the toddler stands nearby waiting patiently.

Well, waiting anyways!

This activity fits all the criteria! I saw this in The Toddler's Busy Book and got an empty egg carton I had discarded that morning. Within 5 minutes, Toddler Girl had a new activity to play with!

Directions:

• Using scissors, poke a small hole in each section. Hole should be just big enough for the clothespins. 

• Place a clothespin in each hole and let toddler push them in and take them out.

This activity teaches:

• One to one correspondence--one clothespin for each hole.
• Fine motor skills.

I was surprised how difficult this was at first. She had to work to get the clothespins in and out. But she hung in there and soon had it mastered! Toddler Girl (age 2) has really enjoyed doing this.

**As always, activities such as these should only be used with supervision. Clothespins could come apart posing a choking hazard or could hurt the child. Because of this, these types of activities are used primarily as "table time" activities around our house!**

Painting Trim

 

Painting trim in the hallway today. 

I've put off this task for almost two years. Ahem...

What are you doing in your home today? 

Quick Tip for Travel

We go on occasional overnight or weekend trips. I like to have a bag for bringing dirty laundry home. While I do have a cloth laundry bag, it's quite large and also seems to be in a different suitcase than we keep using--and I keep forgetting to dig it out! So I typically like to throw in a  couple plastic grocery bags to use.

I've forgotten any sort of laundry bag during the last few little trips we've taken, so this morning when putting our suitcase away, I tucked a couple bags in the front zipper pocket.

All set for next time!

Pinecone Research Accepting New Applications

One of the ways I add to our household income is by doing surveys through Pinecone Research. These surveys usually take about 15 minutes to complete and they typically send me about 2-3 per month. They pay $3 per completed survey. Payment can be received by check or via PayPal.

Obviously, at $3 a pop, this is not a huge boost in income! But it's a little and when saved for a period of time adds up. In fact, we put all of my Pinecone survey money into our Christmas envelope last year and it nearly covered Christmas gifts for our extended family!

Pinecone is now accepting new applications. So if you're looking for a relatively easy way to make a little extra  go here to apply.

Aunt Susie

 Our last visit with Aunt Susie.

St. Patrick's Day 2012

Andy's great-aunt Susie passed away last week. She was 94 years old.

Aunt Susie lived with Andy's family helping with the children for several years when he was little. She was very much like another grandmother to he and his sister. In the last few years, she lived with Andy's parents because she was no longer able to live alone. She fell and broke her hip this winter and spent the last couple of months in a nursing home.

She lived a long life rich with experiences and always had many stories to tell!  She dearly loved her family and will be greatly missed.

We rejoice that she is in heaven with Jesus!

We love you, Aunt Susie!

Trash to Treasure Table

My husband brought this table home with him from a  flea market a few weeks ago. 

I'll admit that when I first saw it, I wasn't overwhelmed by its beauty! I liked the size, shape and style but all I could see was the amount of work it would take to make it look nice. But it was only $6 and a much nicer size for our space than the current table. In addition, we hope to possibly purchase a home within the next year or so and this small table would be a great size for many purposes.

A good cleaning took care of most of the dirt and some of the marks on the top as well as helping the smell a bit. But it still looked rough. Lots of scratches and stains.

I shot a quick message to my sister who loves to repaint and fix up thrifted furniture in need of TLC. She didn't think it would take much to get it looking presentable. Then she offered to help me paint it if I wanted to bring it to her house Easter weekend.

Well sure!

So I packed it up in the car along with a small thrifted stand that also in need of a paint job.

Road trip!

I decorate with a lot of red and lately I've been admiring the combination of aqua and red. My sister said she had some aqua paint I could use.

So we got out the supplies and started working. These pictures tell the story of turning a table that was fit for the trash into a treasure!

These projects did not take long at all with the proper tools and two of us working! We distressed the edges a bit at the end for a charming look and gave the table top a couple coats of Min-wax.

Love the finished product!

What's cooking in your kitchen this week?

He Is Risen!

On the first day of the week, 

very early in the morning,

 the women took the spices they had prepared 

and went to the tomb.

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

but when they entered,

they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

While they were wondering about this,

suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightening

stood beside them. 

In their fright,

the women bowed down

with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them,

"Why do you look for the living among the dead? 

He is not here; he has risen!"

Luke 24: 1-6

Enjoy your Resurrection Sunday celebrating our risen Savior!

Gingham Pennant Garland Fun

I've had the urge to make a pennant garland for a long time now. So one afternoon, I sat down with a pile of gingham fabric and used my pinking shears to cut out a stack of triangles.

Then I sewed a couple of simple garlands which I hung in my kitchen and dining room windows.

I still had a stack of triangles to use and wondered what else to make with them. A sweet pair of burlap pillow covers were the result. 

And the next day, a pair of denim pillow covers!

It's fun to create.

**Pillow covers are in my Etsy shop.**
