Do you have those days in the week when all of a sudden you look at the clock and it is almost 5 pm and you haven't even thought about what to make for dinner? Yep, me too. All the time. And so over the years I have a few recipes that I can always use in a pinch that come straight out of the pantry so I can put dinner on the table fast. They often save us from a fast food drive-through window;) This easy brown butter pasta recipe is one of those go-to recipes that you can start and be ... View the Post

How Long is Forever? (An Art of Homemaking Post)
Eleven days ago I was sitting at the computer answering emails and texting my brothers sarcastic comments about the recent legislative session. But mostly texting my brothers because we were so funny we just couldn't stop. Until my sister sent us all a text that said, "We have bad news..." And the seconds, hours, and days following that message have seemed to have gone on forever. ... View the Post

The Art of Homemaking: To be thankful for dirty dishes….
The last couple of weeks I have been a grump about dishes. I felt like all I did was clean the kitchen. It seemed like it was the first thing I did in the morning and the last thing I did at night....wipe off counters and do the dishes.

I was seriously having a mommy hissy fit over yet-again wiping crumbs off the ... View the Post
The Things That Matter Most…(An Art of Homemaking Post)
Yesterday I shared a story over on our Facebook page about my melt down last week.... I had finally put out a rug that I had been saving since Christmas last year and in less than 24 hours my oldest child had spilled chocolate pudding all over it. Between the ruined new rug and everything else that had been going on and was coming up that week (a family funeral, viewing, luncheon, Halloween, making costumes, meetings, deadlines, obligations, etc.) it was more than I could handle and I turned ...
