I meant to do a nice long post about wishing you all a very Merry Christmas but I’ve been sick since Wednesday evening. Blah! Feeling a bit better now and just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful day tomorrow! I hope your Christmas is filled with giggles of children, shouts of glee, ripples of laughter, […]
How to make a Santa Claus bean bag toss game
December 16, 2010 By 3 Comments
This may not be the fanciest or most beautiful homemade game ever made, but it IS very functional, extremely easy, and quick to make when you are frantically trying to rack your brain for a fun game that 12 Girl Scouts of different ages can play together! Last year we did Pin the Nose on […]
{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Dog Bed Hazards
December 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I’ve been a slacker lately! The sad thing is that I do have quite a bit that needs to be blogged. Christmas is starting to freak me out though and I’m slightly addicted to shopping on Amazon.com so other things have been getting pushed aside. In the hopes that you don’t think I’ve entirely abandoned […]
Happy Thanksgiving and hey what kind of potatoes are you having?
November 25, 2010 By 2 Comments
Thanksgiving already! I’m being a weirdo this year and making roasted sweet and white potatoes instead of mashed. Yes that’s right… instead of… not as well as. I don’t think my step-dad was too thrilled with this plan when I cheerily told him my menu idea over the phone the other day. A resounding “OH” […]
Our Taste of Home Cooking School Tradition
November 21, 2010 By 1 Comment
Yesterday from two to ten I got to spend time with three of my favorite people at one of my favorite places, a Taste of Home Cooking School Show! This is the third show I’ve been to and it is definitely not going to be the last! My mom, my aunt, my cousin (Amanda), and […]

As one of our family traditions, a large part of our family gathers every year to celebrate the holidays together and we usually have a lot of fun and laughter going on, it can be quite chaotic at times! Everyone brings a dish (or 5!) and we spend the day eating, talking, sharing memories and […]
Wordless Wednesday – Looking Back
November 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Pie used to love dressing up in Daddy’s biker gear! I think this look is particularly fetching :) This brings back so many memories of our old home and when the children were little. 2007 seems so long ago!

At Jazzercise class my instructor, Ronda, often stops to tell a short anecdote, joke, thought or event in between the aerobic portion and strength training portion of class while we’re stretching. This morning she talked about something that happened during a yoga class she’s taking. Her yoga instructor likes to end each class with a […]
My itty bitty tiny kitchen
October 27, 2010 By 3 Comments
When we moved to this rental almost five years ago (has it been THAT long!) I thought the layout was good. Looking back now I honestly don’t know what I was thinking, besides the fact that we had to move, because the layout stinks! My biggest gripe is the kitchen, if you can even call […]
Wordless Wednesday – Fun at the Fair
October 27, 2010 By 1 Comment
Otherwise titled – How to scare the crap out of your mom. I let Pie go on these two rides at the annual fair for the first time this year. She had a blast with her friends while I stood around convincing myself she wasn’t going to fly off or fall out. Fun times! I […]
Getting back into the swing of things

Guess what I’m doing? Typing on my NEW computer!! Woot! Super Genius surprised me on Tuesday when he came home from work with the computer I’ve been drooling over! He got a great deal on a HP Pavilion bundle. This baby is about 100x the computer that our old beast was! He also brought home […]
Hello my abandoned blog, it’s me
September 30, 2010 By 1 Comment
Life without a computer is very weird. Weird in a not-so-good way most of the time. Weird as in boring as hell. Or, weird as in I am bored out of my skull. I do find that I have lots of time for other things that I’d rather not be doing… like laundry and cleaning […]
