Etsy Shop – Open for Business!

by Leigh Anne on February 8, 2010

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I am excited to announce the grand opening of Your Homebased Mom Etsy Shop!!

I love shopping on etsy as well as promoting and supporting etsy shops so I am now proud to be part of this amazing community.  A community of people who support the buying and selling of all things handmade!

Due to popular demand I have stocked my shop with some of those pretty reuseable grocery bags I shared with you a few weeks ago.    I’d love for you to go over and take a peek and let me know what you think. 

If I do say so myself I think they are pretty darn cute!

There are only  a certain number of bags available in each fabric selection so if you see one you like you will want to grab it because once it is gone – it’s gone.  I will be adding lots of other pretty fabric selections later this week.

Each bag has been lovingly made by me – Your Homebased Mom!

Stay tuned for other lovely, pretty items that will be added in the future!!

Happy shopping!!

Finding 50}Days 26-32

by Leigh Anne on February 7, 2010

This week I had fun finding the pretty here at home and in Utah too when I flew there to be with my son when he had ACL surgery.  He’s doing great and on the road to recovery!

February 1 – Day 26

Pretty pears in a pretty bowl.

February 2  – Day 27

My friend Jeannena and I paid a visit to a fun bakery in NW Portland – Two Tarts Bakery.  A yummy selection of fun and pretty bite size cookies.

February 3 – Day 28

Some more pretty and delicious – in fact so delicious this meal gets two photos.  I enjoyed lunch at Communal in Provo with Logan and Cali.  Logan commented on how much it felt like home – a very Portland-esque restaurant!!  Pretty presentation and lots of local fresh ingredients.  Just how we like it here in Portland!  The blue cheese/bacon burger was amazing.

And even more yummy and prettier were the fresh cut fries!  I loved the pretty presentation!

I knew we were in Utah though when they served fry sauce with the french fries!!

Ree and Leigh {Anne}:Meatloaf

February 5, 2010

I have to admit when I opened  The Pioneer Woman Cooks for the first time and saw the recipe for meatloaf I shuttered.
You have to understand that meatloaf has not crossed the table of the Wilkes household for at least 12 years. 
We had  an “encounter” with meatloaf 12 years ago that has left us all [...]

Ree and Leigh{Anne}: Cowboy Calzone

January 29, 2010

Cowboys may like calzone because they are quick and easy to eat on the run but so do us civilian folk , especially busy civilian folk!!
A calzone is like a pizza pocket or turnover.  In Italian it actually means “stocking” or “trouser”.  Not really sure how it resembles a stocking or trouser but oh well!
The [...]

Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies

January 27, 2010

So I am still working on perfecting the dessert menu for the women’s event coming up at church in a couple of weeks.  Those yummy Key Lime Bars definitely made the cut.  But I knew I needed at least one or two chocolate based recipes.  What would a church event for women be without chocolate?!? 
Thanks [...]
