This field peas and snaps recipe is comfort in a bowl. It's a Southern side dish that is made with simple ingredients that gets even better when it simmers on the stovetop all day.

This week in Science we have been learning about Earth's Land Features. All week we took notes, learned hand gestures, and watched a video, and then we made a landform flipbook. I have to say, it came out SOOOO cute!! I got the idea from an AIMS lesson and adapted it for the SC landforms. Here is what it looks like completed! And here it is in action! You can download it HERE!

Hello! Rosie back again with more Alex Syberia Designs projects, this time, featuring florals! This large bloom from the Hello Lovely stamp set is the perfect size to fill an A2 card front. I stamped this on Altenew watercolour paper with clear embossing ink and then heat set with Altenew Rose Gold Crisp Embossing Powder. It's coloured with Distress Watercolour Pencils and I added some extra details/shading with Prismacolor Pencils. The panel is die cut with the Stampendous Deckle Cutting dies (this is not in the store but can be special ordered) and the sentiment is also heat embossed with Rose Gold embossing powder. A few Studio Katia Iridescent Bubbles finish off this card. Life Is Good is another gorgeous floral stamp from this designer. I used the ink smooshing technique to create the background with Altenew Just Green, Lagoon, Maple Yellow and Galactic Stream Crisp Dye inks, then run through my Big Shot with the Honey Bee Rainbow A2 Pierced Cover Plate. The large floral image from Life Is Good was stamped on copic friendly cardstock, coloured with Copic markers, fussy cut and popped up on the background with foam adhesive tape. I treated the black card stock with the Taylored Expressions-Anti Static Powder Tool which is one of the best anti-static tools on the market in my opinion, then stamped the sentiment in clear embossing ink, coated with white embossing powder and set with heat tool. Now let's take a look at one of the stand alone die sets from Alex Syberia Designs, Fantasy Flowers! If you were at the Great Canadian Scrapbook Carnival in Edmonton you may have created one of these cards in one of the Scrap Shotz Make & Takes. These layers are super easy to layer and I die cut the layers from Memory Box 6x6 Ocean Blue Paper Pad which contains 4 each of 12 shades so it's perfect to use for these types of layering dies! The background is created with Simon Hurley Tropical Tango Lunar Paste and the Alex Syberia Pureland Fan stencil. After adhering the layers together I've embellished the stamens with a gel pen from the Sakura-Gelly Roll Classic Pen Set. Sentiment is from the Pinkfresh Studio Sentiments 5 pack of 43 sentiments which has multiple birthday, thank you and encouragement (just to name a few) sentiments in gold or silver foil. A few Pinkfresh Studio Silver Matte Pearls complete this card. I made this second version of the card with yellow blooms using Memory Box Sunny Orange 6x6 paper to die cut blooms and Studio Katia Gold Sparkle Crystals. I have one more card created with the Petit Periwinkles Stand alone Die Set but I can't find it to photograph so make sure you're following use on Instagram as I'll post it there when I locate it! Thanks for stopping in!

So, I have to vent for a second. I don't EVER post about my personal life, but I am feeling the need for some bloggy friend support. I have been staying at work SUPER late since school has started this year. I didn't leave the building until 6:30 today and 6:45 yesterday and then I come home and I STILL have stuff to do! My significant other normally travels every week and is home on the weekends. He just recently stopped traveling a few weeks ago and his next work project is located in our own town so he's been home. It is always kind of an adjustment when he is home all the time because he is a VERY active person and enjoys going out and doing things on a regular basis during the week and I just can't keep up sometimes. I, on the other hand, have been swamped with things for school and so I am often doing work on my computer when he gets home. He essentially told me last week that he wasn't happy. It think it mainly comes down to how much time I have been spending doing my work. There are some other things, but this is the major problem. I have been trying REALLY hard to get everything done at school so I don't have to bring anything home, but I just can't seem to get it all done. And to top it all off, I am flippin' exhausted after my BUSY 12 hour day. I have vowed to try harder to do more things with him and around the house instead of coming home and working every day, but I still don't know that I will be able to do this all the time because of everything I need to do and how tired I am from my day. So, I guess I just need your advice...How do you balance it all and have a life?? Seriously...what's your secret?! Anyway, on to the goods! I posted yesterday about my landforms flipbook we made in class this week! Remember, these cute things!? The students finished making theirs today and I totally forgot to take pictures of them! Click HERE to download your free file! Also, I am in the brainstorming phase of my new Halloween unit and Lord knows when I'll be able to sit down and ACTUALLY work on that with everything else going on in my life right now, but just know, IT will happen sometime before mid October! =) My idea is "Boo in the Zoo: An Animal Themed Halloween Unit." I want to incorporate ELA, Math, and Science all in one. Here are some things I'm thinking: * Animal Research (Bats, Owls, Cats, Spiders, and other creepies) * Spooky and Weird Animal Adaptations * Habitats Trick or Treat (Students would pretend they were going Trick or Treating in each habitat and draw or write things they would find there to add to their Trick or Treat bag) I know it sounds crazy, but I'm still in the thinking phase! =) * Bewitching Words (Students would pick and animal and write describing words) * Monstrous Metaphors & Spooktacular Similes (Animal related of course!) That's all I've got so far! What do you guys think? Any requests or suggestions of things you would like to see included? I'd love your ideas!

I love living on a budget and with this blog, I can share the benefits of simple living far and wide. My appreciation for living economically began after college, when I moved across the country for a temporary job. Six months later, I moved again. Living a “nomadic” lifestyle can work if you reduce the amount of baggage that you
