Day on the River.

April @thislittlepennyearns (65169) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 9h

I meant to post about this earlier, but there was good to make and eat, and then some notifications to get to. I had to do a video for TikTok and go through the mail and some other random stuff. So I am just now getting around to...

Here's The Mail: July 28th 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (65169) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 10h

When we got back from town, I opened the mailbox and BAM—four packages waiting like tiny cardboard gremlins. I was expecting one or maybe two, tops. But four? What did I do to deserve such a bounty? (Besides, you know, having zero...

What's for din? July 28th, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (65169) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 12h

Tonight’s dinner was a bit of a culinary mash-up with some... improvisation. I made InnovAsian Orange Chicken—well, technically InnovAsian did most of the work, I just introduced it to my oven. But I betrayed the sauce packet and...

April @thislittlepennyearns (65169) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 27 Jul

Again, I didn't get a picture of dinner. We kind of ate dinner at different times tonight. Because it was so late when I made it. I wasn't going to make dinner twice just because the boys were out. So I waited till they came home...

A History of Food: Creamed Veal

April @thislittlepennyearns (65169) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 27 Jul

I’ve decided to travel through the decades the only way that truly matters: by eating my way through them. That’s right — I’m diving fork-first into some of the stranger, wilder, and downright questionable things people have...

River bound tomorrow.

April @thislittlepennyearns (65169) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 27 Jul

Looks like we will be going back to the water tomorrow. She child didn't get to go, because she was asleep when we went yesterday. Between that and the truck already being full. But we have decided that as long as weather holds...

What's for lunch? July 27th, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (65169) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 27 Jul

I'm going to make spaghetti in a few hours but since I haven't eaten I figured I should probably make something to put on my stomach. Then I remembered we had leftover Taco bake in the fridge. So I heated a section of it up and...

Walmart Haul: Delivery July 27th, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (65169) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 27 Jul

I promise this isn't a very exciting haul. Just stuff needed to make dinner. You'll notice the abundance of both spaghetti noodles and sauce. We had three extra teenage boys when I placed the order, so I bought enough to make...

You Can Buy What? # 3

April @thislittlepennyearns (65169) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 27 Jul

What does everybody love? Ducks. Especially the rubber kind. And what else does everybody love? RoboCop. Okay, maybe not everybody—RoboCop 2 was... a choice. But for the sake of this post, let’s all pretend we’re die-hard fans of...

What's on the boob tube? July 27th, 2025

With the passing of the great Ozzy Osbourne, his family has released the complete series of the show he did with his son Jack where they toured the world and went to interesting places. The show of course I am talking about is...

Would you try this?

April @thislittlepennyearns (65169) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 26 Jul

There are quite a few “creators” I follow on social media (because calling them “people I watch from a distance like a raccoon with Wi-Fi” doesn’t sound as nice). One of my favorites is B. Dylan Hollis. He’s a self-taught...

had a few different ideas for the second installment of this series, but this one? Oh, this one is just the right amount of kooky. A little weird, kind of adorable, and honestly, it made me smile in that “okay, what is this?” kind...

April @thislittlepennyearns (65169) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 26 Jul

I in fact did not get a picture of tonight's dinner. There were four teenage boys, a pre teen girl, and three adults to feed. So there was no time or room to get a pic of the food. We went to the lake and on the way back I...

We interrupt your regularly scheduled doomscrolling to bring you a riveting update on... what I made for dinner tonight. Buckle up. Yes, I cheated. No, I didn’t fry the chicken. No, I didn’t lovingly hand-whip the mashed potatoes...

April @thislittlepennyearns (65169) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 25 Jul

Late last year—or maybe earlier this year? Time is fake—I started a series about weird products you could buy online. Then life did its thing (chaos), and I dropped the ball like a buttered football. But now, with a new computer...

Good morning (again). Once we got up and moving and were going to go outside and go places and do things- it started raining. Not a little bit of rain, a torrential downpour. So we decided the go places and do things could wait...

Good morning and Happy Friday.

April @thislittlepennyearns (65169) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 25 Jul

It's just before ten thirty in the morning and since I was up and down a lot last night, I went ahead and slept in a little bit. I woke up and used the bathroom and let Rebel out. Found out that we're gonna have an extra kid at...
