Since my kids have been so stinky sweaty with the INSANE heatwave we’ve had, they’ve been getting a bath and hair-washing every night. You may remember the lice-repellent shampoo I bought the other day… Well, it arrived Monday via UPS and I’ve been using it and the other products every day. I must say that [...]

Well BUNKO was a success (even though a few of the undesirables showed up). Once a year we all have to host at our house. The hostess provides dinner and a $10 gift, but doesn’t have to pay to play. Anyway, my “theme” was a backyard BBQ and I had a boston butt, baked beans, [...]

What is it about cupcakes that make everybody happy? Cupcakes are so inviting and always make me feel so good – eating them, decorating them, baking them… They are the perfect proportions of cake and icing wrapped up in a neat little paper cup. Who can resist them? Surely not my family. The kids actually [...]

Well, for the second morning in a row – Miss Abby woke up in a splendid mood! She decided she wanted to wake up to High School Musical’s We’re All In This Together this morning and by the time I got back there, she was sitting up in her bed JAMMIN’! Another day that she [...]

Why is it that cooking breakfast meses up the whole kitchen?
1. a bowl for whisking the eggs
2. a bowl for mixing the pancakes
3. a pan for cooking the bacon
4. a plate for draining the bacon
5. a large skillet for cooking pancakes
6. a pan for keeping the pancakes warm in the oven
7. a pot for cooking [...]

We had so much fun tonight. After we got home, Abby and Maggie helped me make lemonade.
No, not Country Time – the real stuff. It really tastes so much better. It can even end up being cheaper if lemons are on sale (which they WEREN’T today). I always use a tried-and-true recipe I’ve had in [...]

Go chek out this post on one of my new favorite blogs, Paper Bluebird. They just went on a farm tour in NC where they live and it looks SO COOL! I TOTALY want to do this with the girls. I think it’s really important for them to know that food just doesn’t come from [...]

Sorry. Nothing exciting here. I really don’t have anything planned especially for this week – other than cleaning out the pantry and freezer and fridge of leftovers.

Sorry – I got nothing.

Last night we went to Shannie and her Mister’s house for a cookout by the fire (down at the bottom of the hill they call a backyard). I must say – we had quite a great time! Patrick and Mister Shannie went down early with the kids and started the fire and chilled out while [...]

Patrick thinks I’m crazy for taking pictures of Abby’s little lunches, but aren’t they just so darned cute?
Wouldn’t YOU have liked to get something like this in your lunch-box when you were a kid? She had a toasted mini bagel with peanut butter, pineapple and carrots, juice and look at those ADORABLE little koala-shaped cookies [...]
