Tea Forte Iced Tea Brewing Pitcher

June is National Iced Tea Month which gives me one more reason to love June. Whether served hot or cold, tea is my favorite beverage. Iced tea is my summer drink of choice, however, I can never seem to brew the perfect glass – until now.  I recently fell in love with the Iced Tea […]

Space Saving Idea for Your Closet

I live in a very small house so every inch of space I can free up means a lot to me. My living room closet has to house many things and until recently a rather large amount of space was being occupied by DVDs.  A friend of mine mentioned that she stores her DVDs in her carousel DVD player […]

Check out this fun and simple snake we made. The instructions for these snake cupcakes are below the picture. This is […]

Why Men Hate Going to Church

I decided to review Why Men Hate Going to Church (2011) by David Murrow  because the title intrigued me. Most of us know at least one couple that consists of a churchgoing wife and stay-at-home-on-Sunday husband. In fact, there really can be no doubt that overall Christian churches are more heavily populated by women than by men. Don’t believe me? Just […]

I came up with this idea because I wanted something that was easy for the boys and that could be made with items I already had at home. The […]
