Tuesday's Till #3

This week I need to plant all these pretty flowers... I can't wait to see how they all turn out next week.

Thursday Three #2

Since yesterday was my birthday, this week I am telling you my three favorite indulgences, in no particular order.

#1. Starbucks venti iced peppermint white mocha with whip!

I didn't know until recently that you can get peppermint syrup all year round.  This is my weekly cheat.



#2. Tiramisu - creamy, lady fingers dipped in espresso.  Who wouldn't love this yummy dessert?

#3. Chocolate Cream Pie - not chocolate pudding pie, no graham cracker crust no whipped topping.  I honestly have never had a better chocolate cream pie than my own, its my grandmothers recipe.  She shared it with me, my Mom and my Aunt and I think I am the reigning Chocolate Cream Pie DIVA.  This pie takes time, love and patience... it isn't for the novice bakerl.  Its a CREAM filling which requires about 20 minutes of constant stirring.  On bottom is a flaky crust and on top and simple meringue.  HEAVEN.  My poor love, when we were first married this pie was just to rich for him.  Now the two of us could devour one pie together in two days.  My favorite time to eat it is the day after I make it for breakfast.  I want to make one now... hmmmm

PLEASE in your comments share YOUR favorite indulgences.

Oh, and what are we sharing next Thursay Three?

Wordless Wednesday - My first grader's Leprechaun Trap!

Tuesday's Till #2

Nothing much to report this week in the garden. Planted more seeds and a few more veggies.

As I said last week we live in base housing which I love, at our base housing is privatized and Lincoln provides really great lawn service, the only thing is that they come on Thursdays and for what ever reason didn't last week so our grass is super long. Well we are having a last minute BBQ tomorrow for my BIRTHDAY. YAY me, one year older. UGH.  Anyway, the grass just won't make it til Thursday.

This weeks blog post is just a few pictures, two of MyLove cutting our grass so it is presentable and fun to frolic in tomorrow afternoon, one of my favorite pair of yard boots, and then the last one is of a dirty little garden fairy, isn't she beautiful???

 

milspouse weekly roundup

WELCOME!!

Are you in love with YourMilitaryMan??  

Well I am, and you are in the right place.

Do you have your coffee or tea in hand? 

This is ME, Denise!  I am verry happy to meet you,

I am a some what of  Suzy Homemaker but not at all a perfect kind, its all about trial and error.  I learn by doing.   I love to cook and bake, garden and I am also a crafter/diy'er at heart.  Check out my trial and errors over at

 Four Ribbons.

I have been a military family member for over 25 years.  My Dad was in the Navy and to his dismay I married a Lean Mean Killing Machine, ok maybe not so much but still a MARINE.

This is MyLove 13 years ago when he was in Japan, he was stationed there 6 months after we were married for an unaccompanied year tour.  Welcome to the CORPS right?

After lots of moves, schools and years of just "US" FUN!

 I got THREE Hands FULL!

We had our first, Reese, 6 years ago. She is a smart little girl that I love to just listen to.

Two years after that came Paige, she has had a tough little life but

amazes me and pushes my buttons at the same time.

and our not so baby, is Claire.  My BRUISER!

This is MyLove and I just a few weeks ago at HOMECOMING!

NOW link up your favorite posts and help us connect with one another!
