May Day

By 1 Comment

 

Hi Everyone!

Have you ever heard of “May Day”?  May 1st used to be a big deal many, many years ago and has a lot of history associated with it.  It also used to be a major holiday for many countries and was quite a political event every year.  Farmers were also known to celebrate May 1st as a time that most of their seeding was finished and to celebrate the blessing of having fertile ground.  Now, it’s basically a celebration of Spring and showing your love for family and friends.  I’ve been a fan of this day since I was very young.

Dave’s “To Die For” BBQ Pulled Pork

By 4 Comments
Oh my goodness everyone.  You are in for a treat today.  My Son In Law, Dave, is sharing his recipe for pulled pork. Dave loves to cook and it shows in his recipes.  I hope you know how lucky you are to get this recipe.  Take it away Dave!
 
Hello!
 
Since the weather is warming up and summer is coming, I like to use my barbeque a lot. I thought for my first post ever I would share one of my personal recipes for pulled pork.  I have made it many times and have adjusted it to how I like. The beauty of it is you can adjust the spiciness of this recipe.

Guest Post – Chalkboard Art

By 18 Comments

A few weeks ago we announced that we would be starting a new series called “If I Had A Blog”.  For our first post in this series we are thrilled to have Kristi.  She is Brittany’s Sister In Law and a great family friend.  We knew we would be asking her to guest post because she is so talented and crafty.  Take it away Kristi.

Hello there! I am so excited to be guest posting today on Polka Dot Poplars. My name is Kristi and I am a stay-at-home mom of four beautiful children! I’m always looking for something crafty to do.

Chalkboard art has become quite popular lately. I’ve never been an artist or taken art classes, but this interested me and I saw so many cute ideas on Pinterest, I decided to try it out!

I received this box in the mail several weeks ago and haven’t had a chance to review it until now with all our birthday celebration activities.  Now, I am wondering why I waited so long.  I AM VERY IMPRESSED.  This box was full of all kinds of local Utah goodies ($65 worth).  It was like opening a present and I love presents.
