As with most things these days, I am a little late, but I’ll say it anyway–Happy Mother’s Day! Motherhood. Wow! What a crazy, important and potentially disastrous adventure. The thing about motherhood is it is a trial by error, trial by fire sort of thing. And that is what makes it, I believe, the most … Continue reading »
We haven’t had the best luck with the local library. Maybe I should rephrase that. They haven’t had the best luck with us. The last time we checked out books from the library I unwisely let my children “read” them on the way home. Moments later I realized the folly of my decision when I … Continue reading »
This Christmas I made a list, and it wasn’t for Santa. It was for all us MOPS out there. One evening several weeks ago, as I picked up a fallen photograph and stuck it back on the fridge using one of my son’s alphabet letters, I heard a still small voice in my head. It … Continue reading »
Last night was the second night in a row I have ruined dinner. I am accepting any and all sympathies. The other night it was Harvest Paella gone awry. No pun intended, because there is absolutely nothing humorous about ruining a perfectly good meal. I literally woke up the next morning with hunger pains in my … Continue reading »
Yup, I am starting a garden, and a new blog! I am excited about the challenge of starting a vegetable garden, and thought it would be fun to document through a blog. I am complete novice when it comes to gardening. In fact, I am a novice at a lot of things. That being said, if … Continue reading »
Wow. After two months of silence I am blogging again. I can’t believe it! If any of you were wondering, I am alive and well. And if any of you are still reading…thank you! I am not sure why I haven’t been blogging. Things have been pretty much the same. We eat peanut butter and … Continue reading »
Just spreading a little Christmas cheer from here in California. 
Okay, this is not our house, but it does exist. On the other side of town, in fact.
Watch out, Clark Griswold, there’s a new guy in town. Continue reading »
I have one more thank you to write. It is to my husband. I know I said I wasn’t going to be thankful for the “givens” in life like my family, kids, or the roof over my head. But as I seek to explain this very gushy, gooey, post about the hubs, I am going … Continue reading »
The other night I snuggled up with my son to read books before bed. He picked one of his favorites, a Bible story book with cool illustrations of Noah’s Ark and Jonah and the whale. He doesn’t quite have the attention span for the whole story, so I usually just flip the pages and say … Continue reading »
It’s the week of Thanksgiving and I’ve been a huge slacker in giving thanks! Ahhh! It’s been a busy weekend and the last few days I’ve had sick kids, so it’s been a little more hectic than the norm. Anyway, here’s what I’ve been grateful for the past few days. Saturday: A spontaneous date to … Continue reading »
Well, we didn’t end up going out to dinner last night. Bummer. But we didn’t starve or choke on cardboard tasting rice either. I made twice baked potatoes (pretty hard to screw up) and they were pretty good. Not great, but good. Too much broccoli. Then tonight I made White Chicken Chili for dinner and … Continue reading »
