Inspirational Printable – A Quote From Duke Fergerson (she: Sharon)

This is Sharon again from Lemon Squeezy, and this month I water-colored a quote that I love. Duke Fergerson is a retired professional football player and said this during an interview back in 1988, which was originally advice from his mother. I’m going to put this inspirational quote up where my kids will see it a lot and hopefully it will be something they always remember.

12 Brilliant Ways to Dress your Walls with Wood (she: Kristi)

Last month when I popped in to share my Spring Bottle Vases, I was just embarking on our most epic DIY journey yet as we signed on to take part in the One Room Challenge. Have you heard of it? Basically, we committed to making over one room in our home in just six weeks. Yep, SIX weeks! It was an absolute whirlwind, but I’m thrilled to say we made it through the other side and we really couldn’t be happier with the results! Curious about which room we chose to transform? You can check out our final reveal here! Here’s a little hint: it may just involve a perfectly weathered wood plank wall!

Easy Cheese Danish (she: Susan)

Hello! I’m happy to be back sharing this wonderful easy cheese danish with you today! The filling tastes just like cheesecake. These are perfect for breakfast, brunch or just a sweet snack. I love that they go together so quickly! This recipe is one of Ina Garten’s. I love her elegant, simple style! You could easily adapt this and mix in some jam. Make a sweet drizzle for the top! It’s a great go to recipe.

I listed the zest of one lemon (my children don’t like it when the lemon is too strong). Other than that I pretty much followed her recipe.

Family Vacation in Phoenix ~ Hot Summer Deals! (she: Allison)

Hi! It’s Allison from Tips for Family Trips. I’m excited to be back at Or So She Says to share my tips for getting a fantastic deal on a family-friendly luxury resort this summer.

Budget travelers know that the off-season is the best time to score deals at resorts that might be financially out of reach at other times of the year. It’s always the off-season somewhere, and during the busy summer travel season, that somewhere is Phoenix, Arizona.

More Than an Apology ~ A Lesson in Seeking Forgiveness (he: Dan)

I wasn’t a punk-kid growing up, but I was a teenager once, so you might just as easily say I was a punk-kid growing up. Around the age of 12 I got tall. Really, really tall for 12. Like nearly 6 feet tall. I also thought I was pretty clever and funny. In addition to my new-found height and humor I also fancied myself pretty smart for my age. 12 seemed to be the age when I imagined it would be a good time to push my boundaries. Flex some of my new-found (thanks puberty!)muscle around the house. Show my old man who was the new cock-of-the-walk.

I love family traditions, and somehow most of ours revolve around food. One of our favorite family traditions is Family Fondue Night!
