Mother running on empty...
Whether you are going out and about tomorrow night or staying home, we will all be making snacks, appetizers, sweet treats and cocktails. So, I thought I would help myself organize. Prioritize what I should make for the festivities of ringing in the new year. Inevitably where ever we go, they request we bring our [...]
We have had a big fall. Both kids are in school full time! At the same school! It is the small things in life to get excited about. Both kids played soccer at the exact same time. Literally the majority of Saturdays they played at the same time at fields that were on the opposite [...]
While I am always connected to technology, there is nothing better than a cookbook. And I have plenty of them. But, I have my favorites. The ones I can count on when I don’t want to “try” too hard or just need some comfort food. The cookbooks with generations of family favorites. But, besides my [...]
Let’s be honest with each other. The holidays can be a great time to spend with your families. Lots of food. Lots of catching up on what’s going on in everyone’s lives. Lots of football. Lots of wine. Seriously, how do people who don’t drink make it through the holidays with their families without drinking? [...]
Not cheetos. Not twinkies. Not microwavable meals. But unprocessed, raw grains, vegetables, fruits, animals and much, much more. I know this sounds pretty common sense, but I have had more than one conversation chastising “big farmers” or “corn farmers” or “factory farmers” for being the problem. The problem when we want to blame someone for [...]
Well, we are a month into school. For a month I have had a consistent experience with my kids. When they hop in the car after school, they are HUNGRY. And not the I need a snack kind of hungry. The “can you get me a large pizza with a side of bread sticks” kind [...]
As soon as school got out this year, we hit the road with with my sister and her family for Florida. We took the recommendation of a friend to give St. George Island a visit. It did not disappoint. The island is low key, relaxed and friendly to families. The closest Wal-Mart is over 40 [...]
What a difference a year makes! We had planned to be basking in the sun of Panama City Beach again this year. Because of my crazy travel to India and then DC for work, I couldn’t afford to be gone again. So, we canceled five days before we were to leave to have the redneck [...]
Boo turned seven a few weeks back, and I swear to you it felt like we celebrated for a week. No, we did celebrate for a week. Spoiled kid. It started the morning of his birthday. Which I think with the excitement he showed for the two gifts he got from us, we could have [...]
I love Christmas. The decorations. The music at church. The lazy days. The non-stop food. The lack of schedule. The new toys. The reflecting on just how much we are blessed. But, Christmas is over. It is time to move on. But, my tree is still up. OK, both of them. Who am I kidding? [...]
