Taking a Break
I am taking a rare break from Back Porch Musings. I wanted to let you know, instead of just taking off. I don’t have a backlog of posts to draw from and I don’t have new photos. I chose photos from February 2011 for this little note. I just decided this morning I need to spend a few days pay...
I just found your blog and wanted to say "hello" to a fellow Texan! I'm in the DFW area...are you nearby?
Your home is lovely. I need to check out your recipes. Your paragraph about yourself is very real and I'm sorta doing the same thing. I do have more time than I used to but I don't have a balance to it. If you find the secret, please share! :)
I'm a new follower. Stop by and say hi when you can ~

2014 Home Improvement Ideas, and a Peek Back at 2013
For two weeks now I have wanted to do a recap of everything we accomplished last year. But to be honest, we really didn't get that many projects done in 2013. Apparently I rearranged the kitchen shelves a lot, and we spent a good deal of time out in our garden. But the biggest project of all...
Just found your blog, compliments of Sonja. I'm so happy I did ~ you have such beauty here...and I think fun too. :-) So wish you were closer, I'd love to participate in your classes.
Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year!

Last post for 2011
Just a little something to get you all in the Heart mood! These are from last year and I know you probably have gotten tired of looking back but I promise this is my last post of looking back. Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I have been working on all the project...

Butter Crumb Cake. It's a Keeper.
I wanted to share the recipe for this really yummy coffee cake with you. My friend Carol gave it to me and it's quickly become a family favorite. 1/2 cup butter softened 1 80z package cream cheese softened 2 cups flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1 1/4 cups sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda...
Hmmmm, good! I'd like that right now. I so wish I had the patience to knit. I've done all kinds of needlework but have never mastered knitting or crochet.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Thankful for Friday.
It was a long week and I'm happy that it's Friday. The week was filled with ups & downs but one of the best things about my week was getting together with a few friends to knit. We laughed, I cried, we ate & we knitted. A few hours with some kindred spirits (in more ways than one) I really neede...
I think it looks fabulous! I really like the chocolate poured over the cake and the donut holes...all good.

Halloween Cake
Er, something. This is my, "Fake it till you can really make it cake." I was testing out an idea for my book, and whipped up this cake. Its my favorite chocolate cake, covered in milk chocolate (not ganache, just melted chocolate) with chocolate covered donut balls on top. Sprinkled with s...
I'd love the peace of mind it would bring!

A New Guest for Dinner and a Big Giveaway! {Contest Closed}
We recently had a sweet new handy dandy OnStar mirror installed in our minivan. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that it makes me feel rich. I am thinking of applying for a Real Housewives show. But I digress. I tend to not pay attention to new technology when it comes out. Good exampl...
I am so hoping this post is not a duplicate ~ problem with Blogger. :-(
My favorite coffee cup is red with white polka dots! Since I love red, I have a few other cups that will do the job too.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!

The Coffee That Saved My Marriage {Contest Closed}
CONTEST CLOSED I might be exaggerating slightly. Ok, a lot. But its good coffee. Read on my friend. Something I am constantly thinking about is how I can better feed my family. My goal is to have a 100% organic and natural diet. Right now we are at about 50% and I am in a constant learnin...
I LOVE this!! I wish I were closer, I'd love to help you.

Bake and Give Project
Bake and give. I think it's what I was made for. Because I love to bake and I love to give. The other day I had a thought. An intense thought. A thought that right away put doubt into my senses. A thought that overcame doubt when I looked at those around me. Is this a little deep for a bakin...
This is incredibly wonderful!! Love the video...love the sharing and caring for a special young man.

Listening to My Heart
She listened to her heart above all other voices. unknown I thought I would give the whole rug dilemma a rest and write instead about this bright and bold jewelry box that I painted up last month for The Traveling Door. I found her all plain, brown, and forlorn at the G.W. I knew I c...
