"Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere." - Albert Einstein

I dream big and can easily be swept away with my imagination. I have had so many hobbies over the past 20 years and now I am starting yet another. My hobbies range from crafting to movie making and dreaming about writing children's books. I find myself caught up in my head, day dreaming of how I can portray my experiences, desires, and memories. I hope my blog entertains, inspires, and helps you laugh about your own silly quirks.

Another Road Trip with the Kids...

I am always trying think of ways to recommend travel tips to parents. It is so easy and convenient to pop in a DVD in the car and let the little darlings zone out and quiet down but do we really want to raise mini zombies. Though this might not work for children who can't read yet it seems like a fairly fun product that could be worth trying out.

If I Can you Can!

Another day of successful canning has taken place in my kitchen. Having a house and your own garden is reason and inspiration enough to try out canning. Now that we are entering the end of the harvest season, stop by your local farmer's markets or farms and collect what you can to get the last of this summer's bounty. I have been mostly canning tomato sauce and apple sauce. Living in the apple capital of the state I just couldn't resist. I do have to admit was a bit apprehensive at first but it was so easy to do. It is time consuming but totally worth it. I used recipes I had in my Better Home Cookbook and one from a local magazine. It also could not have been possible without the proper tools too. Thankfully I was able to borrow my mother in laws giant pot, food mill, and jars. I believe I have found yet another hobby. So, I will be purchasing some of my own supplies shortly. I have been searching around and have found this product to be fairly reliable. Check it out and see if it works for you:
