Yay!!! I made the move to word press from blogger, and as you can tell, the new address for Riggstown Road is riggstownroad.com. I chose to do it myself, (well, me and Google!) so it’s a learning process which will continue as I add new features to the blog. I thought I would start the New Year, New Look, New Site with a look at some favorite posts from the past year. First, everyone’s favorite food post: This $1/1 Minute Salsa and everyone’s favorite parenting post (and overall favorite!): Consequence Chart…
Just in time for Christmas Eve… If your little ones want to help you prepare something special in the kitchen this holiday season, here’s a fun and EASY way for them to do just that. Click on the link for the details over at Busy Mom’s Helper. And may you have a Wonderful Christmas…
Your hands are busily trying to finish dinner without burning it, it’s the baby’s fussy time, the phone is ringing, you have a long list of to-do’s, and your mind is occupied with all of these things, while your other kiddos whine that there is “nothing to doooooo.” After a couple of rejected suggestions you may find yourself saying, “I don’t know…just do something!” Does this scenario sound familiar? It may or may not be a composite of personal experience. 😉 In times like these, it…
I had grand plans, y’all. I’m kinda famous for ’em. I see potential everywhere. Problem is, things don’t always turn out quite the way I envision them. Like the plans I had for this DIY Indian corn. I had the coolest idea. I knew just what I was going to do with it, and it was going to be the most adorable thing. Except that it didn’t work so well. Very frustrating. But then I remembered that the light bulb took a few tries to get right, too, right? So I…
It’s official. I’m a mother-in-law. (And loving it!) We officially survived the wedding of our first-born. Well…I did. The jury’s still out on her daddy. 😉 I wanted to share this little idea I used at the bridal shower, in case there’s a wedding in your family’s future. Thought it might come in handy. It’s so easy (you know I love easy) and not expensive, and unlike some favors or party prizes, this is something you will actually use. I just bought some cute…
Fall is unofficially here.! Leaves have already started to fall in my yard, and the weather is absolutely perfect. I enjoy all the seasons, but fall is my favorite. I kicked it off with my favorite kind of project…the quick & low-to-no-cost kind. I made some pumpkins from cans, so I just haaaad to call them pumpcans. 😉 Join me over at Busy Mom’s Helper for all the details…
Hello, friends! In case you were wondering why things have been so quiet lately here on the blog, it’s because real life has been real busy. Among other things, we have a wedding coming up! I can’t wait to share more about that when the time comes, but in the meantime, I have a little something to share today with all the rest of you busy mamas over at Busy Mom’s Helper. In the midst of all the business, it’s still nice to put a good meal on the table- even for…
Well, summer is in full swing, and I’m trying to find the perfect balance between getting lots of things done, and getting some R & R. How ’bout you? Today, for my contributor post, I’m sharing a tutorial for this Super Easy Chalkboard Banner. It’s the perfect little project for the lazy days of summer. But my favorite thing about it, is that I’ll get to use it over and over, all year long, since it’s erasable! Hint: It’s very similar to the chalkboard on my dining…
Happy Summer, Moms and Kids! To help your summer get off to a fantastic start, I wanted to share with you a little tool I use. It’s a Consequence Chart, and if you’re anything like me, it’ll be a great way for you to have more fun and less stress this summer…and all year ’round. For all the details, come visit me at Busy Mom’s Helper, where I’m contributing today, and don’t forget to share some ideas of your own for smooth sailing this summer…
It’s about that time again… when we can all kick up our feet and relax a little. You know, in between gardening (I’m really good at growing weeds), beach-going, spring cleaning (yes, I do mine in the summer), and finishing all those projects I have lined up. My kids have big summer plans, and I’m sure yours do, too. But just in case you have some down time, or the occasional rainy day… I have something really fun to share with you! We discovered Adventures in Odyssey when my oldest was…
