What I’m doing…

Cali and I made cookies and I whipped up this book cover while she was napping.  I had NO clue what I was doing, so it’s pretty rough. 
Tess will be staying in the hospital for the next week while I’m up north.  She’s most definately gonna scratch out my eyeballs when I pick her up.

Allsorts Book House

One of my favorite Bloggers, Jenny B Harris over at allsorts, has opened a cozy, online Book Nook with a fantastic selection of finely illustrated, whimsical children’s books along with a variety of classics.  
I plan on being a regular customer and encourage everyone else to do the same.  We self-made business women have to stick together!

Slow Baked Dinner Steaks

It’s cube steak night here at the OK Corral…..and I’m going to share my recipe with ya’ll…..because it’s simply to DIE for.  It slow cooks in the oven, so you can put it in early and not have to worry about it for awhile.  You can use either beef or pork cube steak…..I prefer pork [...]
