I have been doing more practicing being a housewife lately. I am not sure what has gotten into me, but I am feel very domesticate and the need to decorate, create or cook. Pinterest has been a huge ispiration to me. What is Pinterest, you ask? Well... only the most wonderful website of organization, decoration, cooking, styles, and everything else you could image all in one place!
I made these dry erase boards from an idea I saw on Pinterest. I used a black picture frame, scrap booking paper and dry erase marker. It brightens up one of the walls in my office and found a good use for my scrap booking supplies that had not been opened before this idea.
I have about a million more ideas and things I want to do to our little farmhouse, both inside and out. However, my wonderful mother did remind me that things cost money. So, I will settle for a few DIY (do-it-yourself) projects and use up things I have just hanging out looking for a permanent home in our farmhouse.
The other rampage I have been on is RECIPES. I want to cook everything. Freeze everything. Then never make another meal in my entire life. Well, at least for another month or so. I've made a couple of new things, tried out the crock pot, but haven't done a big 'freezing of the foods'. I think it'll be the next item on my domestication. My ideas so far:

- Mexican Pizza
- Snickerdoodle muffins
- Homemade Egg McMuffins (did you know the McDonald's version has 55 ingredients?!)
- Holland Chili
- Boda Spaghetti Sauce

I am what I like to call a "Inmymind craft/handyman." I always think, "Why buy that? I could totally make that." The thing is, I NEVER do! Pinterest is my new "I can do that" site. I think I may actually do some of these things. I am brand new to it and totally pumped about it! Great post!
