I’m so glad my camera is always nearby for moments like this. I want to remember this little monkey’s crazy behavior for all time.
Last week was a wild & wooly week around these parts… Sam had an ear infection… A really really bad ear infection…it’s ok, his Ottie took good care of him Ella had homework (ok, that’s not so wild OR wooly, but she looks cute doing it). AND (caution: bragging mama moment) she made the Odyssey...
I am participating in Menu Plan Monday at orgjunkie.com, but unlike most of the other participants who plan their menus and post them that week, I’m always a bit behind, and I post my menus a week later. I do this so that I can let you know if I try a new recipe and...
Inspired by SouleMama: A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see....
Around this time each year I spend my time stocking the deep freeze in the basement. I started this years ago when I was teaching, I would double & triple dinner recipes through the months of August and September and then fill the freezer. This is such a huge help to our family during the school...

Almost every weekend we have a family movie night…it’s a nice time to wind-down on a Friday evening after a wild week. Family Movie Night & Kettle Corn Last night we tried something new…I made Kettle Corn for everyone to chow on while we watched the Wizard of Oz. It was so scrumptious that...

Last year I wrote a guest post for EasyLunchboxes.com all about the hows and whys of lunch-packing at our house. I wrote this in December of 2010, and the post still holds true. I’m still packing lunches for the kids nearly every day (they love grilled cheese days at school), and I’ve been packing Michael’s...
