Comment on Homemade Pasta Fun by Laura

I’ve made my own (grown-up) pasta before with an attachment that goes on the stand mixer. It’s a little complicated and takes a really long time – though it makes the most amazing pasta I’ve ever tasted in my life – and the dry pasta doesn’t last but two or three days. This is an incredible solution for making it with your children (or even just with the grown-ups). And what a great way to get picky eaters to chow down! Little hands that help make their food are attached to little bodies much more inclined to eat stuff they’ve had a hand in making than whatever mom puts on the plate. Thanks for the amazing post!!

How cute. With all the graduations going on and so many young men and women we know to be graduates, this candy bouquet is a nice way to remember several youngsters. Cost effective – and adorable.

When I was growing up, we always moved to wherever our dad was working for the railroad. It was a hardship (or so we thought then) to move out into the boondocks miles from others, but now I remember the good times as family as we played cards by kerosine lantern, mom taught us how to clean, make blankets, worked on 4-H and Scout projects, and ‘walked the tracks’ by moon light. Not too bad as my thinking went retrospective. I miss those days.

My favorite summer break memory is going out to pick blueberries with my family. We ate and picked blueberries all afternoon then got to eat a lot of blueberry jam and pies. Nowadays, we grow our own blueberry plants, so going out to pick them isn’t quite as special as it used to be!

My favorite summer memory was my whole family getting together for the 4th of July and a family reunion- and I mean my WHOLE family! All my cousins, aunts, uncles, even second cousins would come to our house where we would have our own fireworks and firecrackers in our backyard and the adults and teens even started a pop-bottle rocket war! Crazy, I know, but it made great memories! Sometimes we would sleep on our trampoline in sleeping bags and we had a little bonfire for hot dogs and marshmallows. We would also go camping together. It was really cool to be able to spend good quality time with not only my parents and siblings, but also all my other family- we’re still all very close!

My favorite summer memories are of the trips we’d take to Yosemite each summer. It’s been awhile now since we went, but for quite a few years as a kid and then a teen we’d stay for an entire week surrounded by that natural beauty. My VERY favorite moment from this was when we would grab our flashlights in the evening and traipse over to a large meadow that had a wooden path going down it…we’d lay down right there and look at the stars, which seemed huge and close enough to touch with the absence of ambient city light. It was amazing, a moment I associate with total peace and joy.

My favorite summer memory is spending time in Eugene, OR at my grandparents. Their home is my favorite vacation spot. They live outside the city and have 20 acres of forested land. As a child it was amazing place to play and visit family. I learned a lot of life lessons out there. Now as an adult I love visiting to get out of the crazy city of Tacoma.
