Kailan is turning 8 years old today, and yet again…another year has just flown by! Last night I balloon-bombed his room, so he would wake up to something fun. After school we will be taking him to the bowling alley […]
On the last day of Thanksgiving vacation, we had lots of plans. First, we went to the orchestra, where they played Beethoven, Brahms and Dean. Brian wasn’t too excited about Dean’s Pastoral Symphony, but it was the kids’ favorite. Lots […]
I mailed out most of the cards on Friday after Thanksgiving, so hopefully everyone on my list has it. I still have cards, so if I don’t have your address just send me it via e-mail: stacy at thelandofka dot […]
Another year, another time waiting for Santa to appear. Luckily this year it was nice and warm…I think it was around 40-50 degrees. See…warm! Santa’s approach…chased by the cop car. Obviously he is made of magic because the cop car […]

Wintertime is long up here. It starts in mid-November and lasts through March, and tends to make everyone hole up in their houses. Come springtime people emerge with new babies, when we didn’t even know they were pregnant! You leave […]
I found this tutorial on Pinterest, and thought it would be great to put things in it for car trips for the kids. One in boy colors and one in girl. On a side note, I thought it was pretty […]
Well, Anya’s first gymnastics class went pretty well. She hit her nose with her knee somehow on the trampoline and also hurt her leg. BUT she did enjoy herself! I didn’t hear her cry at all and only noticed the […]
This is a simple side, but it takes a little time to cook. It would be a good side for a guest menu. I served it alongside baked sour cream chicken. The kids weren’t huge fans, but they would prefer […]
After thinking long and hard about what I wanted to do for the Christmas card this year, I finally figured out what I wanted to do. This, of course, meant I needed some articles of clothing to bring my vision […]
