An Apple A Day - Caramel Apples, Plain and Fancy

Have you ever heard the saying: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away?"

Okay, how about the story of Johnny Appleseed?

Head Over Heels - Pineapple "Upside Down" Cake

Sometimes the very best things in life are simple. 

Humble.

Not at all "fancy". 

Now don't get me wrong, I love kitchen machines and kitchen gadgets as much as the next girl.

I'm sure that my family would tell you that I love them even more.  

"N" is for Noah - A Nursery Name Sign for Gavin

I always thought that Noah was a pretty cool guy.

If you look at it from my sons' point of view, the man built a huge boat without the help of a laser level, a compound mitre saw or even a cordless drill.

The guy was one of the very first DIY'ers. He did it without any staff, (except the one that he used to walk).

Well, okay....he did have one amazing sponsor. The story of Noah's ark was one of our favorites when my sons were young.

Turkey Talk - Making Martha's "Pom Pom Toms"

Today, on the blog, we're talkin' turkey (Maureen, if you want to be surprised, you need to STOP READING THIS POST RIGHT NOW!)

Clay tags and Carpet - Getting Everything "Just Right"

Sometimes, I feel like Goldilocks had the right idea.

Well, not entirely  the right idea.  Not the home invasion, theft and vandalism parts of the story.

I'm talking about her impeccable taste and high standards.

You remember, don't you? Goldi was the gal who wasn't satisfied until things were "just right". 

I'm betting that Goldi's family and friends thought that she was at least a little OCD. Probably more than a bit of a perfectionist.
