Why Smoky’s Fat
Written by Mackenzie Hintz Today I will be telling you why Smoky is fat. Smoky was fat before Benny, Smoky’s owner, got him. He was so fat because he did not get rode a lot.

No Bake Energy Bites
These little morsels are a special treat for my kiddos! We usually make them if one special friend is coming over (since she is especially in love with them), but last week I whipped some of these up without said friend! We usually stick to the basics for snacks around here: Grandma’s muffins, cheese, yogurt,… Continue reading No Bake Energy Bites

While much of country music is ridiculous or silly… Continue reading Buy Dirt
My Knitting Journey
Written by Chelsea Boe I have been knitting for a few months. It may seem impressive, but it isn't much, especially since at the beginning, I had a lot of trouble getting into it.
