Authentic or Faux — My Forsythia Struts Its Stuff

Igot so excited when I rounded the house this weekend to find my forsythia bush blooming! I immediately cut several stems to take the place of the faux flowers I wrote about only days before on my post “Five Tips for Displaying Faux Flowers.”

    Fresh Catch Cooking — Grilled Trout

    March 13, 2020

    My previous post on our family’s urban trout fishing outing took a new (and tasty) turn as we finally tried our hands at cooking a fresh catch on the patio grill. After a quick search, I came up with a plan and after I dressed and wrapped each individual fish in its own little foil package my husband manned the grill to perfection. Even our son thought the fresh fish was quite tasty. Now please take note, this is not a post on how to actually EAT grilled trout.

    Mother’s Day Breakfast Casserole Full of Weight Watchers Love

    May 18, 2018

    It’s a beautiful spring day here at The Three-Acre Wood, and I’ve been spending all of it with my sick little boy who is missing out on field day at school. The poor thing came home with Strep yesterday and now he’s stuck at home with his mama instead of his friends. I venture to say it hasn’t been all bad. We did play a game of Scrabble Jr., he watched Captain Underpants and we just polished off banana popsicles on the back deck. What more can we ask for? I know I promised you a breakfast casserole recipe earlier this week, so I finally squirreled away long enough to…
