What I write about...

Posts about the mishaps, successes and adventures that take place in my garden.





My ultimate goal is to be a Kitchen Goddess, but until then, I'll settle for Demigoddess status.  Or maybe just Proficient.

Canning     Baking     Crockpot     Recipes



Wouldn't it be awesome if I could be as crafty as all those other Mommy Bloggers?  Yeah.  Anyway.

And since I don't know where else to put it, I'm going to add the stories that I use to frighten my children into behaving under this category.

At Home
Home is where the heart is.  And the kids. And my husband  And the books.   And my shoes.

Babies     Fun     Hubby    Chickens    Eco    Home



The Gingers
My two little loves.  Red hair, blue eyes - the most beautiful children on Earth.  Though I am a bit partial.

Celebrate!
We here in Mandyland love to celebrate good times.  Woo-hoo!

Birthdays     Holidays     Easter      Halloween     Thanksgiving      Christmas 




Because sometimes, as much as we love home, we've just gotta go. 






Mandyland in it's natural state - the whining, the tantrums, the tears...and that's just the adults.




Because Chad and I are two earth-sign, first-borns, we came up with a Campground Rating System designed to show you what's good, bad and ugly with each campground we visit.




Family and Friends
So many friends, so much family and as for the rest...they'll fit into one or the other category at some point.

Family         Friends




Four Seasons
Mandyland is filled with year around fun:

Spring    Summer      Fall      Winter




Every house has one. It's where the flashlight, the hinge from the broken cupboard and last year's birthday candles live. When I can't figure out where to file something, I put it here. 




Links, blogs and gadgets...oh my!
