To say this is a long process… would be an understatement. We’re finding that building a fully custom home is different than building a home in a planned community. Starting off from the last point… our architect, as always, got back our changes pretty quickly. If anyone is hoping to work with Frusterio, I HIGHLY […]

I wish I was writing from a dirt filled lot that had a foundation started, but sadly, that is not the case. We thought we would be breaking ground the last week of March. The builder said after closing, they would submit for permits, which takes about two weeks, and after that we’d be on […]

My husband is a HUGE fan of peanut butter desserts. I found this Peanut Butter Lasagna recipe from Spend With Pennies and decided to give it a try for one of his special days a couple of years ago… Yes, I’ve been holding onto this little secret for that long. Also, COVID happened, so that’s […]

That was the case this past week and I decided to try some healthy muffins for the kids. Particularly Beckham, who apparently only likes carbohydrates these days. I tried this recipe […]
