Pinterest Inspired: No Campfire S'mores


The gauge in my car tells me what I already know but don't want to know. It is H O T outside.

Triple digits continue to haunt us. No rain in sight. My outside plants can't hang in this heat. They have withered and died. I am holding out hope for fall flowers.

Firework celebrations were threatened this year. Many were cancelled. The risk of fire is just too high.We chose not to fire our own explosives this year. {We live in a wood roof neighborhood.}  We opted instead to go to the public displays that were not cancelled.

In addition to cancelling firework displays many cities have a no burn order right now. No open flames means no campfire S'mores. {Can you see the sad face as you read this!}

I had to rely upon a Pinterest find to carry us through. We can not have a July 4th celebration without S'mores even if we can't have a campfire. These are S'mores on a Stick.


They are simple to make.

You put a marshmallow on a lollipop stick. Dip it into chocolate (I prefer dark chocolate) and roll into graham cracker crumbs. Simple. Easy. Deliciousness!


The best part, they were made in my air conditioned kitchen. Using the microwave only.  Not causing a fire is a good thing {especially when you are celebrating the 4th with a fireman}!

My Weekend Project: A PVC Camping Lamp Post and Flag Holder

I have seen a few of these around campsites and I knew I would like to have one. The only problem that I had is The Husband. He already thinks we drag too much stuff with us when we go camping and if I had told him my desire to have a PVC Camping Light Pole he would have shut it down quickly! So, that leaves a girl with only one choice: Figure out how to do it by herself. I did some internet searching and found a few road maps on RV forums. They seemed easy enough! I visited the local hardware store for the supplies: An exterior post lantern light 2 inch PVC pipe (I used 5 feet but had to purchase a 10 foot piece) A 3 inch toilet flange A 3 inch to 2 inch Reducer PVC Glue A 12 foot electric cord kit 2 - 3/4 inch PVC Caps I also used a few supplies we already had on hand: White Spray Paint 3 1/2 foot - 3/4 inch PVC Pipe Drill Bits (1 inch and 1/2 inch) Tent Stakes The first step was preparing the lantern light. I could only find black i...

Tour of Missouri: Montauk State Park and The Ozark National Scenic Riverway

August has become our summer vacation month. Summer activities have usually wound down and we like to get one last hooray in before school starts.  This summer we decided to travel our own state and visit a few places we have been dreaming of visiting but were a little too far for a weekend road trip. Despite last minute vacation glitches we managed to pull out of Kansas City around 9:00 in the morning headed to Montauk State Park just outside of Licking, Missouri.  Montauk State Park is one of three state parks where you can trout fish in Missouri. We are frequent visitors of  Bennett Springs  State Park but not Montauk, just because of the travel distance from our house. (Bennett Springs is about 3 hours and Montauk is double that.) Setting up and settling in was relatively easy. We took a tour of the park and hiked around exploring the spring that feeds into the river. The Park stocks this river each night with trout. The fishermen like this river be...

Liver Cheese: A Family Tradition

Today is an anniversary date. One of those dates you wish you did not have to remember but there is no way you can forget.  Fifteen years ago today,two days after his birthday, my father died of lung cancer. He was a lifelong smoker and his cancer was aggressive. His battle was short. He fought for six short months after his diagnosis. He knew the chemo was not working and that his time was limited. When he came to this realization he became the best dad in the world.                                                In the days before my father's passing, my family shared some memorable moments. One of those moments centers around the deli meat: Liver Cheese.I would not be surprised if you have never heard of it, or even never tasted it. But I was raised on it as it was one of my Dad's favorite things.  What is it? Well, it is a German food that is...
