I’ve been “meaning” to get back on here, post our Turkey Day menu with links to all the special recipes… and by meaning, I mean procrastinating. Ah, the pathway to hell, I’ve paved it so well (such a nice little rhyme, I should needlepoint a pillow… but I’d never get around to it… and so [...]

Right this moment I am sitting in my bed, curled up in soft blankets, my sweet little Skye sleeping by me. She still sucks her thumb while burrowing into her baby blankie. She may be 5 and a half (don’t forget the HALF!) when she’s awake, but sound asleep she’s still only two. My baby. [...]

I have today off work. I’ve been looking forward to it. There’s a laundry list of things I want and need to get done. Some cleaning, some cooking, some sewing. While the cleaning I fully admit to hating, the cooking and sewing – totally looking forward to. I have some new recipes I’ve been itching [...]

Illness in Da House and a Pictureless Wednesday
Posted in asthma, Brendan Fraser on November 11, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The kids were all home sick from school yesterday. Coincidence that today is a school holiday? I think not! Of course, they were actually sick. Jason was running a fever, Sean’s actually been home all week with chest congestion that is triggering his asthma. His wheezing scares me way more than all the Saw movies [...]
Real Life in a Real House

A couple of nights ago, the kids and I had game night. I picked up a new game “Mouse Trap” at Target. Ok, I know this is not a “new” game. It’s a favorite from my childhood, but the kids had never played it before. So, hence the whole newness thing. Anyway, we got a [...]
Back to Daily Blogging aka Getting Real
Posted in life on November 9, 2009 | 2 Comments »
My blog for the last while has been more of a photo album of What We Did This Month. It’s had no real content, just pictures and with captions. That’s about it. So much for Real Life. That’s about as real as a Norman Rockwell painting. I’ve just been sharing the rosy bits that I’ve [...]
Product Review – Betty Crocker Gluten-free mixes
Posted in gluten-free, product review on November 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »
A friend sent me several of the new Betty Crocker mixes: chocolate chip cookie, chocolate cake and vanilla cake. I really appreciated her generosity because while I had been anxious to try them, I wasn’t terribly optomistic and didn’t want to invest in a case of each from Amazon just to find out that they [...]
