Welcome to Feels Like Home!
I’m Tara. It’s great to meet you!
I write this blog because I believe that life shouldn’t be so hard. I believe that we choose our attitudes, and that attitude colors everything we do. You can read more about that, about me, and about this blog in the About Me section.
Life shouldn’t be so hard.
To help you make your life a little easier, I feature a variety of posts each week:
-
Food and cooking tips
-
Craft ideas
-
My own parenting (mis)adventures
Hopefully, you’ll find something useful around here. I hope that it really does make your life easier (or at least makes you laugh).
Feels like Home is divided into seven sections:
- Homefolk: My own personal (often embarrassing and funny) stories
- Home Cooking: My favorite recipes & kitchen tips, usually explained so that anyone with a stove or microwave could make them
- Healthier Mom: My quest to become a healthier, leaner, lighter mom and role model for my young daughter
- Homegrown: Parenting & family advice (in the shape of my foibles)
- Homemaking: My failure attempt to keep our home running smoothly (hopefully in environmentally-friendly ways)
- Homespun: My crafts, sewing & other projects (often showcase in easy-to-follow illustrated tutorials)
- Things to Write Home About: A weekly list of blog posts I’ve loved in the above categories
You won’t want to miss these:
- Of all 800 posts I’ve written, these have been the most popular:
- My favorite posts appear in the right-hand sidebar. I have a lot of favorites, and only 4 of them appear on the page at one time, so reload to see more.
Prizes
The Ultimate Blog Party goes along with a very long list of very cool prizes. If I’m selected as a winner, I’d like:
- US1 – $150 shopping spree at Pedal Cars and Retro Collectibles (I want to get Grace a balance bike for her 3rd birthday!)
- US20 – $50.00 in jewelry from Cookie Lee from Kelley Clayton
- USC8 – $55 gift card for Amazon.com from Kelly’s Lucky You
If those prizes have already been given away, I’d like any gift card (especially for Amazon, Target, Toys R Us, or Restaurant.com), or any prize that is jewelry, books, or appropriate for a 3-year-old girl.

Hi, Tara. I come for Ultimate Blog Party 2010. Nice to meet you and I hope you have time to visit mine as well, in HERE. Have a great weekend.
Visiting you from UBP!!! Have a great party yourself!!!!!I am now following your blog, you can follow mine at http://www.safehomehappymom.com
Hi Tara!
It's nice to meet you, too. I think I lost my post as I signed in, though, so I'm going to re-post it. If it turns out to be a duplicate somehow, forgive me. *slightly tech-challenged*
Broccoli, cheese and rice? Gotta check that one out. My son has gotten tired of chicken, peas and rice, which I love, especially with chicken broth. I'm not that big a cook, so when I try something that works, it's possible I run it into the ground. Just a little bit
.
Anyway, I'm with you on life not being so hard!
Once again, nice to meet you, Tara!

Dropping by from UBP — loved cruising through your blog!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! No attempt is a failure….as long as it is an attempt! I am becoming a firm believer in that!! ;-D I know it might sound like hooey…but once you start telling yourself that you do start to believe it…and it becomes true!!

Hi! I am def going to check out how to make a tutu, DD turns three soon! WOW! Thank you for stopping by my blog – and I too think this age is fantastic. My little girl turns three in June just like yours – and LOVES princess things. She can tell you the Cinderella story, has tons of cinderella dolls and a dress up corner. This age is my favorite so far!
Have a great weekend!
What a way to lay it out! Perfect. And you know what I found out by you being so straightforward? I love your attitude, and I love this blog.
Consider yourself bookmarked.
Choices, attitude. You got it, babe.
Wow you’ve written over 800 posts…that is awesome!!
Hope you are having fun at the UBP!

Your blog is fantastic and we're honored to have you join the UBP 10.
