Deliciousness! Frijoles and Sweet Cornbread Recipes

Tonight we are under a winter snow advisory.  As we have lived back in Kentucky for a couple years I am learning something - this is not the same winter weather patterns from when we lived here before!  We went to college here years ago - and we remember lot's of heavy snows!  The last two winters have really had little or NO snow.  Sadly, I am afraid that tonights weather will also show little actual snow.  We love snow...

My life, my day, and my amazing dinner.

Everyone’s life is different.  We are all called to different things, we have different talents, and well – life throws us all different curveballs!  One of my curveballs is that I have never really been a full-time stay-at-home-mom.  I think that I think I would love it.  What I would love is the time to do all the things I love and want to try.  More crafts with kids, regular dinner’s completely from scratch, and just...

Naps, toddlers, and a parental reprieve...

I've tucked my bitty girl back in for nap time multiple times now.  I love that little stinker! I think she's finally relaxed and is nearing sleep.  I wish I could relax!  I sometimes wish I could read her mind as well.  Children are like little puzzles - a temper-tantrum isn't alway {perhaps never really is?} fully JUST acting out.   I believe that most of the time it's a silent message.   My girls seem to react negatively...

A year later... still cooking!

Well, hello there! Haven't been around for a while.  I miss writing - I miss having an outlet to be snarky, silly, rambling - and well, not really caring who reads because I know my mom will.  :)  Regardless, I felt like it was time for Easley Park to have an updated look and to be dusted back off.  So, here we go.  Back to blabber some more!  :)  What do you write when you are christening a blog update?...
