Another FUNNY
animal photo from
the Graphics Fairy!
Mama Karen says these are real
animals dressed up and that the photographer
worked very hard to get these pictures!
SO Funny!
They do look like they are on a mission!
Don't they?

Mama Holli is Proud as a Peacock!

OH YES!
Mama

HERSELF
TODAY!

Klobasnek
pronounced "Klobasneeky"
My Granny always had a table
full of these when we came to town!
Better known as 
Pig In A Blanket

SOOOOO GOOD!
It only took me about
4 Hours to make these!
The dough has to rise 
not once
but twice!
Look at what 
is
inside!
Did I say these
were GOOD?
Well they are!
This is the first time I have
made these by myself!
So I am A Proud Mama!

Easter Eggs


Mama Holli made these sugar eggs
about 12 years ago.
I made one for each of my babies!
Can you believe they have
lasted this long?
I store them in ziploc bags
and bring them out for
Holy Week.
I just love them
and
so do my kids!








A Peek Inside!
More Easter Images!

Chirp Chirp Chirp!


The Wires Are So 
Still and High

The Wires are so still and high
We never hear the words go by,
Yet messages fly far and near-
I wonder if the birds can hear.
And when they perch on wires and sing
I wonder if they're listening.
And telling out to earth and sky
A lovely word is going by!

Annette Wynne

I love flipping through old Children's books.
The words and illustrations
are so simple and pure.
  Reflecting a time that was more
simple and pure as well.
This little bird was chirping
to me as I walked one afternoon!
Birds are not the only
ones who like to
CHIRP!
Mamas Love
CHIRPING!
We
CHIRP
A
LOT!
Chirp On The Phone!
Chirp While Ironing!

Chirping 
is
GOOD!
Mama

CHIRPING!

Thank you Graphics Fairy
for
THE ADORABLE
CHIRPING CHICKS!

Hearty Czech Meal

My Granny was a Czech Mama!
She had many wonderful gifts.
One of her greatest gifts
she shared was her cooking
and baking!
She was a fabulous cook!
She always kept all who
were blessed to enter her home
full with love and food!

A simple Czech meal!
Potatoes mixed with sauteed onions,
sausage and homemade bread!
Of course not pictured on the side
are peaches, pickles and a simple salad.
Simple
Yes
Good
Yes Yes Yes 
And for those of you asking......
YES
I did bake the bread!
Ain't it Purty!
I Miss You Granny!

Fortunately Mama Ann knows Mama Lisa
 so well she saw what was coming!  
 Mama Ann loves her friend so much 
that she went and got Mama Lisa
