November 9th, 2011 by theloggerswife 
Our Logging cookbook and the 2012 Calendar are now available in our shop! Thank you to all the logger’s wives across the country who submitted your families favorite dishes. There are so many yummy recipes, from Oven-Fried Chicken with Honey Mustard-Vidalia Dipping Sauce, Jalapeno Cheese Grits and Sweet Cornbread, to Chocolate-Porter Beer Cake, Cream Cheese Squares and Apple Crumb Pie (over 50 recipes total)!
This year’s calendar features 13 selected pictures of hardworking loggers, huge timber and a few trucks. Thanks again to all the logging families who made these projects possible.
Excavators!
November 4th, 2011 by theloggerswife
For halloween this year our two year old decided he wanted to be an excavator. Absolutely obsessed with the idea. He sleeps and breathes skidders and excavators. With a husband with both arms in casts I had my work cut out for me! We were able to get the overall shapes designed and I cut the pieces from foam board, using black yarn and pre-drilling holes to piece it all together. And of course the bucket really goes up and down; apparently a very important requirement… the 1st version didn’t 
I’m inclined to think this is one of the only projects that requires needle & thread and a power tool!
Logging birthday party!
August 29th, 2011 by theloggerswifeWe’ve had a number of logging momma’s ask us for birthday party ideas, so we thought we’d compile some of our favorite ideas in an inspiration board. Check out the info below for details and links.
1 – Absolutely adorable birthday cake idea (From Cakes by Christy).
2 – This cake would be an easy DIY option using a sheetcake with chocolate icing and little toy skidders and pretzel sticks for the logs.3 & 4 – Our new vintage Logger design can be personalized with the birthday boy’s name and our blue “Birthday Boy” skidder tee is available in a pink version too for the logger’s daughter!
5 – These peanut butter pinwheel candies kind of look like tree stumps don’t they? Continue the theme with cinnamon rolls or sliced deli wraps.
6 – We are in love with these woodgrain cupcake wrappers found on Etsy.
7 – 
8 – Our birthday tees are available in blue, yellow and pink versions for ages 1-10!
9 – Serve root beer floats in mason jars with cute rustic tags and stripey straws.
10 – Log truck toys for the birthday boy (or girl… or Dad!)
12 – This wood frame is made by a logging family and features your family’s last name laser engraved at the top and any line of text at the bottom (our frame says “three generations of logging”). Each frame is completely handcrafted and made in the USA.
13 – These chocolate favor pops nestled in a bed of moss is so cute! (sorry, picture source unknown)
14 - Here’s a freebie for your party from us at TheLoggersWife… water bottle labels! Custom labels are always a hit at our get-togethers. Just print this JPG (fit to page) on a sheet of regular paper and cut them out following the light gray guidelines. Remove labels from your standard water bottles (the nestle pure life brand works well and removes easily!) then wrap the labels around the bottles and attach with a tiny piece of regular tape. Ta-da!
15 – How adorable is this little camping setup? Little log stumps for seats and a low table covered in burlap. Add a few outdoor lanterns and we think its a setting that everyone will love.
So that’s how we’re envisioning our little logger’s next birthday party! If you have ideas or pics of your logging themed party, we’d love to see ‘em! Next up… a woodland wedding.
