Why am I such a clutter freak-a-zoid? See my sidebars? They started out quite clean, but I keep finding stuff, stuff I like, stuff I don’t want to lose. See my pretty page background? It looks cluttered too. I like it though. Is it too dark? or brown? Something is not quite right, can’t put […]

The first week of August is almost over… already! I can hardly believe it. Of course, this means the kids will be going back to school, back to learning, back to their friends and back to school lunch! School lunch is the rock in my shoe! My teen likes to buy school lunch, which is […]
A Veggie Harvest
August 1, 2009 By 3 Comments
Our little vegetable garden is doing fairly well this year. I have half heartedly been planting one since we moved 2 years ago. The soil at our old house was just the way I wanted it and practically weed free since I amended it and took care of it for so many years. I am […]

Our son Tom’s birthday is Sunday (14, Aaack), Chris didn’t want our daughter Ashley to feel left out so Disney’s “Bolt” came home with him today.

Do you remember those sweet innocent chickies my hubby brought home from The Mill back at the end of May? Well, those precious babies are really growing up! Why just the other day one had the gall to give me attitude! Escape artists they may be, but still dear to my heart :) How could […]

July 22, 2009 By 4 Comments
My daughter loves to make things! She is constantly asking me “Mom, what can I make?” She also has a semi-short attention span and a tendency to become easily frustrated. This means we must find fun, crafty projects that she can make on her own or with minimal help. Which is why we LOVE […]

Family Fun Saturday
July 12, 2009 By 2 Comments
We haven’t done much this summer so we thought a Family Fun Day was in order. We woke up early on Saturday and took a scenic round trip of about 150 miles to enjoy some nearby attractions. The 45 minute drive to the Pymatuning Lake Drive-In Flea Market started out foggy & gloomy. We caught […]

What a weekend! Friday afternoon My daughter was playing in the living room and pushed the love seat back too far, it knocked over the piano bench that was behind it (no, we do not have a piano!), which crashed to the floor. I didn’t think anything of it, we picked up the mess and […]
