I was lucky enough to get to spend Easter with all my boys and my mom this year. My dad was visiting my brother or he would have joined us as well. The sweet boys got their Easter baskets from the Easter Bunny. We enjoyed lunch and took our dogs for a walk since it was an… Continue reading Easter

I am a daughter, sister, mother, wife and friend. I am also a self-professed city girl. Well, not really. I was born and raised in a small city, which as a teenager I couldn’t wait to get out of. My graduating class was 300+ people, so small is a relative term. How city was I you… Continue reading Well, Hello!

After we had a whole chicken for dinner, I would save my chicken bones (and/or turkey bones) from our amazing chicken/turkey that we get from The Weber Ranch, LLC. It has to be the best chicken/turkey I have ever had. I put the bones and skin in… Continue reading Chicken Stock

Our Garden!

March 29, 2016March 29, 2016 citytocountrygirlblogLeave a comment

Last year was the first year we had the garden. My hubby very sweetly made me a raised garden in our backyard. We have a lot of clay so a raised bed would give this beginner more success. So some sweat, manual labor, lumber used to create a E shaped garden and then loads and… Continue reading Our Garden!
