As I was planning the menu for last week’s CRAFTERNOON where we created BOXWOOD WREATHS, I knew that I wanted a soup and salad for the lunch. After all, Thanksgiving was the previous week and I think everyone had eaten enough turkey at that point. I wanted something different…not the typical tomato basil or chicken […]
what i ate in paris
My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary last week, and boy did we celebrate! We spent the week in Paris exploring, sightseeing, shopping, and OF COURSE eating. It’s always fun to try new foods when traveling to a new area. So today I’m sharing my favorite things that I ate while in Paris… […]
my morning smoothie
We all have our morning routines…I’m sure most of your mornings begin with coffee or tea! If you know me, you know I am a tea drinker (a hot tea in the morning, followed by iced tea the rest of the day). I added another beverage to my mornings about eight months ago…a “green smoothie.” […]
summer boxed lunches
Yesterday, I shared the details of the Mother Daughter Crafternoon I hosted last week (click here if you haven’t read it). If you did read it, you know that we created terrariums and then enjoyed summer style boxed lunches. Today, I’m sharing more about those boxed lunches… I made two different sets of lunches…one for […]
shrimp fajitas
I don’t know about you, but I’m all about simple cooking in the summer! There are so many other fun things to be doing in the summer than cooking, and besides who wants to heat up the kitchen when it’s already hot outside. That’s why I love this recipe for shrimp fajitas that I’m sharing […]

minion mix
Well, those lovable little yellow creatures are back again! Yes, the minions are back with another movie…Despicable Me 3 is coming to theaters this Friday! I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait. I think I like those awkwardly cute and lovable creatures more than my youngest daughter (and she thinks they are pretty […]
strawberry chocolate chip cookies
Last week we made our annual trip to the berry farm to pick strawberries. It was the perfect day to pick berries…dry and sunny, with a slight breeze blowing. We left the strawberry patch with over 20 pounds of freshly picked berries! I’m sure you can guess what happened once we arrived home with all […]
triple berry muffins
Well, another school year is over! Today is the last day of school for my youngest…she is more than ready for it to be over since her sisters are already finished. My oldest came home from college for the summer the first week of May, and my middle daughter had her final exams last week. […]
party like a pineapple
If you are a regular reader of Polka Dots & Picket Fences, you know how much I enjoy browsing (okay, more like shopping) the Dollar Spot at Target! Really, who can resist those great finds at even better prices… Well, that was the case when I spotted all these fun and colorful pineapple items in […]
