I have a new post up at my new blog Blaze-in' On: Life On a Wanna-Be Farm.  It is crockpot cubesteak and brown gravy and I found it on Pinterest.  I would love if you would follow me over to the new place so I don't lose all of you guys when I shut this blog down.  The reviews and giveaways are a thing of the past and I am going back to a more simple way of blogging. I may do a personal giveaway every once in a while of something I made or whatever but mostly I wanna talk about life, farm stuff ...

I have a new post up on the new blog about the breakdown of the cost per load of laundry with the new detergent versus the store bought.  Way different.  Go check it out. http://blazeinonlifeonawannabefarm.blogspot.com/2012/01/laundry-cost-breakdown.html...

New post up on the new blog about a first for us here!  Check it out HERE...

New post on the new blog.  Update on Blaze's shots and how he is feeling today.  Make sure you follow me over there so you won't lose me when this one shuts down.  Thank you if you do! http://blazeinonlifeonawannabefarm.blogspot.com/2012/01/just-another-day.html...

I want to direct all of you to my new blog.  I do hope you all stick with me and have fun reading about all our new adventures in life. We will not be focusing on reviews or things like that but will instead go back to what matters most.  Our family.  There will be all kinds of fun and crafts, food and learning experiences with trying to be more frugal and self reliant.  We are seriously researching pygmy goats!!  Can you believe it?  So, head over and follow the new blog so you can keep up.  Th...

I am going to be moving my blog back to Blogger.  I have loved Wordpress but it has made it so much harder for me to keep up with all the blogs I love and I don't like that.  I feel like a horrible bloggy friend because I cannot remember daily to go to the places I love to go to check in on you guys.  Much easier to do that will Blogger as everything is right there in one place.  Plus, this fits right in with my streamlining this year.  Less work, less time and even less money since I won't ...

A lot of simplifying will be going on in my life this year. I am going back to just normal blogging probably without any reviews. There may be a personal giveaway every now and then but who knows. I am trying to switch back to Blogger and just want to streamline I think. We are also going to be doing this at home with our foods and cleaning products by doing more from scratch and making our own products. Well, I will be lol. We will be more serious about the garden and the chickens and maybe mor...

Thank you all so much for entering the OXO giveaway.  There were 2 winners.  The first winner will receive the OXO Be A Good Cookie Spatula and 1 dozen cookies baked by me and the second winner will get 1 dozen cookies baked by me.  You can choose to get chocolate chip or peanut butter cookies and they will not be baked at the same time or on the same pan if there are any allergies.  Thank you all again.   (more...)...

We had a beautiful Christmas today.  It only sprinkled a little bit thank goodness after a few days of pouring rain and a tornado pretty close.  Those are getting far too friendly with my area I am afraid lol.  We celebrated with Chris' Mom and family on Christmas Eve.  We do a big breakfast and everyone hangs out and opens gifts.  It was a nice time.  After that we went to celebrate with my parents and family.  That is quite a bit different as we have to use my sister's church to hold it becaus...

I love decorating for Christmas.  I love the reason for the season even more. Sorry I don't have a fancy schmancy camera to take awesome pics but I still love my tree.  Probably could have done better at night though haha.  You can also tell Blaze has had a fun time rearranging ornaments.  He helps me with my OCD ;)  God bless you all and I hope you have a beautiful and blessed Christmas. Here is one before we moved it across the room.  Look over the mantle I was changing things around...
