Thursday’s treasures

Published

The kids finally went back to school. It was the longest summer ever! And it was, school was delayed a month due to construction in all the schools. Now we’re getting used to the longest days ever. My oldest gets on the bus for High school at 5:50 in the morning! That means the house starts moving at 5:00am. My youngest, at the Elementary school, doesn’t get home till 4:30 in the afternoon. And all this is before they get involved in the after school activities. Needless to say, everyone is tired. Last night at 9pm I went around to tell the kids bedtime. I couldn’t find them. All 3 were already in bed, fast asleep. I enjoyed my quiet evening but I just couldn’t keep my eyes open much past 10pm. Now I’ve got the house to myself during the day, I can clean the house and it’ll stay clean for a few hours, I can play in the kitchen creating, catch up on my blog reading and visiting.

And the very best part-no Sponge Bob on the TV! I can just have my music playing and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Last week you all linked up so many wonderful recipes. Debi from Recipes for my Boys and I really enjoy seeing what you link up each week.

It’s How I use Pinterest.  We all want exposure for our blogs, this is the first step. I’ll be posting how I pin this Saturday, so be sure and come back. 

Oh, and when you post you’re recipes to Facebook, post a photo and put your link in the comments, I’m finding photos get more views, likes and comments than just a link! And I love sharing photos!

About Grace

When I was younger, I was constantly in the kitchen helping my mom bake. It was fun getting to play with the flour and always getting to lick the spoon. I’ve always expressed an interest in baking and now I feel that it’s the right time for me to take over. I am a college student working towards a nursing degree as well as a full-time aunt to the sweetest little kids (they might pop up in some of the posts). I’ve learned most of what I know about baking and cooking from my mom, and I am continuing to self-teach through trial and error, which means plenty of sweets to be eaten. Read more...
