Yesterday we had an ice skating party for the son of one of our friends. It was a really fun time for the kids. The almost-step-mom of the little guy is a party planner extraordinaire. She got little jerseys for all […]
I bought in on a group deal at jasmere.com when they were selling Blurb photobooks. The deal was pay $22 for $55 worth of book, so I bought two. I have given up on my ability to get our memories […]
This was dinner on Monday night. A nice carb and protein laden meal after a snowy day…or days, I should say. Pot roasts are super simple to make, they just take awhile in the oven. I used my big rectangular […]
On Monday night we had swimming with the kidlets. It is late, late. We headed home around 9pm and the roads seemed like they were fairly good after our 17″+ snowfall. I saw the yellow light ahead and started slowly […]

The kids are doing pretty well in the reading area. They are supposed to read at least 15 minutes everyday for their “homework”. We try to make them read every night, but sometimes our busy life just gets in the way…or […]
I had to do some teacher crafting for Valentine’s Day. I doubt very much that they would want a packet of Fun Dip like the rest of the kids. Yes, I was lazy with the children’s Valentines, per the usual. […]
I think this can be termed a “girl” recipe. Not only is it low-fat, but it is a sweet main course type of recipe. My hubby does not go for this type of food. I love it, though. I love […]
When the children were babies, we co-slept with them. I had no worries about rolling over on them, or Brian doing the same. I was able to nurse them and go back to sleep with ease, so it gave me […]
I felt like doing some more freezer paper stencils, so last Saturday I sat down and drew out some designs. This first design is for me. Michaels had a sale on their adult t-shirts, so I bought a few of […]
