For Christmas this year the JENerally Informed children were surprised with a Disney Infinity game system. The hubs and I did our research before buying and all of us have been really happy with it. The gist is that the game allows you to purchase finely crafted figurines that enter the actual game when placed on a pedestal. By themselves, …
My First VoxBox: Sargento Ultra Thin Cheese

Woo- hoo I LOVE cheese! I have been to Europe twice and also lived there for a semester for school. I am a cheese connoisseur and take my …
Word Is Getting Out About My Blogging
So last week one evening around 7:30 p.m. my doorbell rang. I was a little slow getting down there, but when my husband answered the door no one was there, just a single stapled together craft idea sitting on my doorstop from another blog. No note, nothing. Hmm, this is very curious. Well alrighty then, is it a challenge or …

Making Jam Isn’t As Hard As You Think It Is
When I was a little girl my mother would make homemade freezer jam. She worked out of the home, had a whole passel of kids and had very limited time, but she knew how much her family liked it and so she found time to make it. When I grew up I wanted to be a fabulous cook just like …
Future Farmers Of America and Easter
What might the FFA and Easter have in common? Well, this is the weekend where I change out my glittery sandals for work boots and gloves in order to help rope in our crazy little bunny Lance A-Lop for the County Fair. The biggest event of the year for 4H and the FFA. This year the County Fair just happens …
The 10 Greatest Mullets of the 80’s and 90’s
Let’s be honest, there was a lot of hairspray sold in the 80’s and early 90’s. The volume was such that there is probably little doubt that serious damage was being done to the environment. Right now, however, we are going to highlight the mullet (A.K.A the Kentucky Waterfall, the Mississippi Mudflap, or the Canadian Passport.) We will list out …
Three Important Do’s and Dont’s For Mommy Bloggers

How to Turn Your Princess Into A Mermaid
My middle daughter Rebekah has been begging for a mermaid tail for quite a long time. The only problem is that they aren’t cheap and I am not really the best seamstress. So I came up with a plan for how to make a super simple and cute mermaid tail. You are really going to be blown away by how …
Man- day Post: The Last Days of Facebook
It’s time for this week’s edition of Man- day from Jensguy. Artist Andy Warhol once stated “Everybody is famous for 15 minutes.” The same is doubly true of technology. Every piece of important technology will get superseded eventually. Companies that have once ruled the world will fall away like the Ottoman Empire. Which brings us to Facebook. It is hard to …

Jen Nails It Challenge Southern Style
I am a true American, meaning my cultural roots come from all over the place.

The BEST Bread Recipe For An Automatic Breadmaker EVER!
When I was a little girl I was obsessed with the book Bread And Jam For Frances. I read the book so many times it fell apart. I also owned this nifty recorded version which I would play on my Fisher Price record player. Yes, that would be the same record player the hubs talked about earlier this week. Yesterday …
