Time to discuss this “$100 Food Challenge” – don’t you? You see, last month I was on Twitter (big surprise there) – and decided that for 4 weeks my family of three would live on a measly $100 plus our pantry/freezer contents. Now, before you jump to conclusions, thinking – yeah, sure, I bet you’ve […]
If you have a kid…stick around. If your child is anything like my son Seven, the kid is always underfoot when you are in the kitchen. As in always. Dragging out pots, begging for a whisk, a spoon, the measuring cups. Wanting to pour the flour or drink the milk or open the oven door. […]
Have you ever just gotten a hankering for something? For example, when we were in Italy a couple of months ago, I could not stop craving McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets. The thing is, I don’t really even like McNuggets. I don’t even like fast food in general. But oh, how I wanted them. We’d be walking […]
Many of you know that I am a new Mom, mother to my little boy, Seven. We tried for so long to have him that I guess I glorified in that time the ease of Motherhood. It seemed the toughest part for us was going to be actually producing a baby, not raising it. Hmmm. […]
…in 52 Weeks.That’s my goal for this year. Sure, movies are great and take less time. TV is easier still and you can pause it and eat at the same time. But books are good for your brain. Even crappy books. We all know that. I used to read all the time, but life has […]
You all probably get tired of me going on and on about how tired I am.How poor I am.How busy I am. Probably. I get tired of it, too. And now you are probably sick of my “infomercials” as Jon has dubbed them. I’m sorry. I guess I got a little excited at the prospect […]
Sorry kids, I skipped out on the Kugelhopf. I’m sure it’s fantastic, even though it has (ick) raisins in it. I’ll be back on the TWD wagon next week! In the meantime, I decided today would be a good day for Show & Tell.Most of you don’t know me. Where I live, where I went […]
It seems sometimes I need a little kick in the pants to keep myself blogging, so I have joined NaBloPoMo in an effort to get my creativity flowing. Or something. Basically, I will be posting once a day for the next 30 days…so wish me luck!
No. As in, no Morocco. Sorry guys! I have been to Morocco, have a menu all planned out, but the week had a few less days in it this week than usual. I hope you can forgive me for posting a little later in the week…this choice by Judy is one I am excited about! […]
Today I weep for the loss of Paul Newman. There are not many actors I consider great, in fact, he may be the only one. I have loved him since I was young, and the older we both got, the more I loved him. We spat watermelon seeds in “The Long Hot Summer”. I was […]
As in YOU, blogger friends. Let me back up a bit before going forward. Last night after midnight, AFTER I WON playing my “Business Stimulation Only” Football Card, which is “not to be used in violation of any law” – yay! – I watched Waitress. Waitress stars Keri Russell, who, you may remember as Felicity […]
Please excuse me while I brag…but tonite I m a very proud Mama. Well, I am always proud, but tonight is just over the top proud.For his birthday, Seven’s nurse Tina (from when he was in the hospital the week after he was born) gave him a little sailboat. The sailboat has little man that […]
