Orange Poke Cake

Hello fall! This Orange Poke Cake is great any time of year, but I find it especially festive for fall. I love to go crazy with a theme, and Orange Poke Cake was a great addition of my orange meal. It’s funny how simple the food can be, but just picking a theme makes it… [continue reading]

Candy Collecting Day

Dressing up and collecting candy–what kid wouldn’t want to do that?  As a kid the only time I got to go trick-or-treating was when I was not at home.  Both times were so incredibly fun!  So I tend to not glamorize the ugly, scary, ghoulish things and let my kids dress up in fun costumes… [continue reading]

Free Fall Fairs

One of my favorite things about fall is all the fairs and festivals, and I love that so many of them are free.  When I was in college, the church I attended had pot luck suppers every now and then.  Every single time I walked in for the fellowship meal the pastor would loudly proclaim,… [continue reading]

In Costume

Halloween has never been a big holiday at our house, but we like any excuse to have fun as a family.  I’m all for dressing up in silly costumes and getting free candy.  However, we do not purchase a new costume for each kid every year.  I have accumulated a closet of costumes.  So a… [continue reading]

Fall Fun Cakes

You know how I love holidays!  When I found out Cool Whip now had frosting, I HAD to try it.  I loaded the kids up in the van and went to Walmart.  We found the Cool Whip Frosting in the freezer section. The kids and I argued discussed which flavor to frost our Halloween layer… [continue reading]

Our visit to Yesterland Farm

Our visit to Yesterland Farm was lots of fun.  We met some friends there, ate a picnic lunch, let the kids roam and play while we visited as well.  The grounds were beautiful with lots of photo opportunities! There are a variety of things to do that are included with your entrance tickets.  Those are… [continue reading]

Thanksgiving Feast

Thanks to my mom Frieda for sharing this funny story with us today: My parents loved to eat, and my mother was a wonderful cook.  She was famous among all our acquaintances for being able to make delicious meals with very little to work with.  They had to come back to the States after working… [continue reading]

Fair Park

My mom Frieda is sharing her “Memories of Fair Park” with us today. Until I was ten years old (when we went to Central America) we lived on Dawson Street in South Dallas, in walking distance of Fair Park. I remember it as a long walk, and sometimes we took the bus. Mother would occasionally… [continue reading]

Fun at the Fair

Jason took a day off and took us all to the Texas State Fair on a Wednesday, when it was cheaper and significantly less crowded.  It was such an exciting day and my husband seemed to be getting into the thrill of things with the rest of us.  Maybe it was because I told him… [continue reading]

A Fall Day at Home with the Family

Oh how I have enjoyed the cooler Texas weather!  It just makes everything feel so cozy and homey!   One Saturday we actually didn’t have any where we needed to be, and it felt so great to work around the house.  Jason took the kids out side and had them all “helping” fix the play scape… [continue reading]
