“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking successive autumns.” -George Eliot This is the time of year that I start to remember why I still live in Arizona and why so many continue to move here. The scorching heat of the Arizona summer seems to be disappearing […]

Fun for US Constitution Week (Schoolhouse Rocks!)
You probably know that the U.S. Constitution was signed into law on September 17, 1787. You may even know the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution.

Sneaky Pasta Sauce

Cardboard Roll Craft – Fairy Wand and Sea Serpent
Most of the crafts we do around here come from whatever is laying around. We probably would never do any crafts if I had to run to the craft store for supplies.
