My Bread Baking Husband
I am a lucky girl. I know this. I married a guy that cooks, bakes, cleans and is an active participant in the raising of our children. And he fixes things! I’ll say it again…I am a lucky girl! For the past year or so Michael has been on a quest to learn how to...
Ottie the Otter’s Patchwork Quilt
A few months back I was asked by Sam to make a quilt for his beloved otter. How can I deny him? So despite the fact that I have not yet made Sam his own quilt, I went to work on the quilt for Ottie, checking out free quilt block patterns to get a general...
Rocking with the Cincinnati Rollergirls!
Last night we took the older kids to Cincinnati Gardens to watch the Cincinnati Rollergirls. The kids LOVED the roller derby! And so did we.

The Quest for an Allergen Free Cake
Last week I searched for an allergen free cake recipe for Sam’s birthday that was egg-free & peanut-free but not taste-free. Oh, and it had to be chocolate of course. I had lots of suggestions from friends, but I ended up using a recipe I found online at allrecipes.com for an egg-free, dairy-free, nut-free cake...
This Week….
~ Ella started reading a book that belonged to her mama when she was a little girl ~ Max continued the search for that one elusive LEGO that always seems to be missing ~ Henry came down with a cold that morphed into his first ear infection ~ Sam blew bubbles to entertain his daddy...
