About Me


"Sisters, sisters there have never been such devoted sisters..."

A dream to live next door to one another is still just that, a dream. Somehow our lives have taken us to two very different places, Kiki in small town Nebraska, Tia in Orange County, California. Who would have thought we would be in either place? I do not think either one of us. Until our dream is realized and our husbands are on board, we are long distance sisters finding fun,crafty, and all of the above ways to stay connected.

Okay first let me start by saying, You are AMAZING.  I love the pillow!  I would have to agree with the consensus that it does look a lot like an owl.  But shoot if you call it a bird I'll say it's a bird.  What did you say Quinnie?  Oh you want Tia to make one for you.. I'll tell her (hint hint wink wink XOXO).

I am sorry it has taken so long for me to post.  My computer died and I can't resuscitate it.  With C constantly on his laptop doing school work it has been hard finding the right opportunity to "hijack" it to have a little "me time".  Oh shoot he just walked into the room.  Okay I'll be quick.  I made Sunday dinner for the in-laws and I have to say I did pretty good.  Steak (okay C did that), baked potato, cheesy broccoli, dinner rolls.  I pulled out all the stops. We finished the meal off with a batch of homemade cookies.  They were a HIT.  I caught my mother-in-law nibbling on them pre-dinner.. BUSTED!  She told me today that this recipe is a keeper and has requested a second batch.  I think you'll love them.  SUPER EASY PEASY!

Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
1 c shortening
1 c brown sugar
1 c sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c oatmeal
1/2 c chocolate chips
Mix shortening, brown sugar and white sugar, egg and vanilla with electric mixer until creamy.  Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.  Shape into balls the size of walnuts.  Bake at 350° for 12 minutes.

I hope you enjoy!  It is cold and rainy here.  I am nervous to wake up tomorrow to an ice skating rink covering the "city".  Well I better go rescue Bumblekitten.  C is brushing her and she doesn't look happy, she's gotten awfully feisty now that she is a country loving outdoor kitten.

Miss you!  Give Little One a BIG kiss from Kiki.
