Phoenix Zoo

June 18 By: Heathercomment

Phoenix Zoo

The drive from Lincoln National Forest to Joshua Tree National Park in California would have been a really L-O-N-G drive, so we had decided while planning this trip that we would stay in a hotel in Phoenix for one night to cut the drive in two. We also chose Phoenix because it had one of […]

Lincoln National Forest

Where in the US is Geoffrey the Giraffe? Have you figured it out yet? We were in Lincoln National Forest near Cloudcroft, New Mexico. We set up camp in the Apache Campground, which is the best area to camp if you want to be more secluded (so long as you don’t mind the eerie howling […]

Carlsbad Caverns

Carlsbad Caverns

We have started our Great American Road Trip, 5,000 miles of the Western United States. Call us crazy but we are tent-camping (no fancies here, not even running water in some spots) with our 3 1/2 year-old to some of the National Forests and Parks from Texas to California and Utah for 3 1/2 weeks. […]

New Totes and Zippered Pouches

Wow, has it really been almost 2 months since my last post? Time really does fly when you are S-U-P-E-R busy! Orders within my shop and outside the shop have made the time go by so quickly. Of course it could be too that when you and your spouse are both teachers, the end of […]

Oven-Baked St. Louis Ribs

Sorry I’ve been absent around here lately. I can’t believe that it’s been a little over two weeks since I last posted. Between my full-time teaching job and making inventory for my Etsy shop, life has been a little busy. I love trying out new recipes when I have the time. This isn’t necessarily a […]

Texas State Railroad Trip and Camping

Texas State Railroad Trip and Camping

It’s Spring Break in our area, and we decided to take a little trip. Our first official camping trip as a family. This trip was actually a bunch of “firsts” for Luke: first camping trip, first steam locomotive ride, and of course, first campfire with smores. I made reservations back in January for the Texas […]

Etsy Shop {The Ruffled Giraffe} Grand Opening and Little Bliss List

March 2 By: Heather7 Comments

Sorry it’s been a while since my last post. My to-do list seems to be longer than the hours in a day. It’s official, though. I have finally opened up my Etsy shop {The Ruffled Giraffe}. I am totally in love with the design of my banner. I decided, after almost pulling my hair out […]

T Shirt Scarf – No Sew

T Shirt Scarf – No Sew

Remember that t-shirt quilt I shared last week? I began to wonder about all those scraps that I was creating. I really hate to throw fabric away. I even keep pretty small scraps thinking, “I bet I could use this for something.” Then came the hunt. I found several ideas for t-shirt scraps. Which of […]

Black Bean and Spinach Quesadillas

Black Bean and Spinach Quesadillas

I love anything with cheese! So these quesadillas include my love for cheese and the homemade tortillas found at my local grocery store bakery. I found this recipe years ago in a little booklet that I got in the mail. They are a “go-to” recipe when it’s been a long day at work, and I […]

T-Shirt Quilts and Memories

T-Shirt Quilts and Memories

One of my favorite scrapbooking/crafty queens, Becky Higgins, has a product that she created a few years ago called Project Life. It has everything you need to create an album to chronicle your daily life. I don’t know if I could keep up with taking a picture-a-day for 365 days, but I do believe in […]
