I don’t know what it is about my husband and his car, but it is a relationship I truly do not understand. I joke with him all of the time and tell him “You would live in a dirt cave and be happy”, and his car is the closest thing to that as you can [...]

College

So my 3 year old little girl says to me “I want to go to college. I will work very hard when I am there”. Wow. OK. Yes. Wait…Where did you hear that? “Blues Clues. Steve said that when he goes to College he will work hard, and I want to too. So, I will [...]
Bare

Today my order from the Bare Book Company arrived. Yay! I feel the need to share this with you all because of what a great find it is. Oh. My. Goodness. A whole box full of Blank Books. There is something so exciting about that. Looking at a blank book or bare canvas or empty [...]
We Lost Lamb!

Our younger daughter has a “lovey”. A little Lamb called Lamby that she HAS to sleep with every night. This stuffed animal is about 5 inches tall and pretty darn grubby (because the “Easter Bunny” who gave it to her forgot to read the label- Surface clean only). Yeah, right. I don’t know if you [...]
Holiday Jump Start

I have already started to prepare for the next Holiday… Valentine’s Day. I know. Early. ..But really only a few weeks. I usually like to do something special for the girls to show how much I care. I also like to limit how much sugar they eat, so if I make something special, I resist [...]
Food For Thought

As you may have noticed, I write about food quite a bit. That is because it makes up most of who we are and how we are. It is a necessity and a pleasure. A friend of mine says “It’s not about the food”, to which I always reply ” IT is ALL about the [...]
Hope

I usually stay clear away from Politics in my Blog or in any conversation. It evokes such anger and aggressiveness and a passion to argue in people that I am not always up for. Today I am filled with a Hope that I haven’t felt in a while. I can’t hold it in. As soon [...]
Creating Books

My kids love to Read books. They also love to create books. Usually they draw their pictures and put them together with string or staples. In about a day they fall apart, and usually wind up in the trash. Ugh. I just learned about this site that sells Blank Bound Books. I am so excited [...]
The Wonderful Wizard

My children do not watch TV, but they can watch movies. Our older girl can watch a movie per day on the weekends. Tonight is Movie Night. She chose “The Wizard of Oz”. It surprised me a bit since that movie has been out of rotation for quite some time. A couple of Halloweens have [...]
Realization

My 9 year old was sitting at the table looking through a magazine as I was going through the mail. As I was about to discard one of the flyers, she said, “Wait, I want to look at the missing children. I always look at them in case I see one of them.” I had no [...]
Now They’re Flowing

I know what you are thinking…”Two Posts in ONE day?!”. Remarkable. Actually, I was just looking through pictures of quilts and was thinking that I would LOVE to make a quilt that would stretch from one end of a room to the other. Kind of like a rug, that you could climb under to keep [...]

Ok, I had a few days off. My mind and body lay idle (for the most part). I so needed that. Little One asked me, a few days ago, to make Sock Puppets. I finally got up the energy to clean out everyone’s drawers and closets. Ahhhhh. Nothing like a bit of organization to get [...]
Taking it Easy

After I did my morning “chores” today, that was pretty much it for the day. I just took it rather easy for the rest of the day. Consequently, I don’t have much to write about. I did want to post these pictures my girls drew. Our 3 year old drew this picture. She was very [...]
Songs Of The Past

Growing up, We had a Polish Aunt. She was married to our Italian Uncle. It made for really great food and interesting stories. This Aunt of ours was a bit mysterious. I always thought of her as a witch. She had green eyes that could pierce right through you. She always told us stories that [...]
Things That Are Brilliant

First I must say “Thank You” to all of you who sent me pictures of your children wearing Noggin’ Toppers. If you want to check them out, I posted all of them on the Hats page. Now on to Things I think are Brilliant… Otherwise known as Really Good Ideas. I think I will add [...]
