  • Business Venture #1

    OK, I’m putting my salesgirl hat on. If you’re not interested, just skip this and wait until my next normal post. I got this idea when I posted the cool baby announcement Mike made for me. (I’m too lazy to find the link. Just keep scrolling down if you want to see it.) Heidi asked […]

  • Seriously! (plus)

    **Author’s edit: after I posted this, I added a comparison pic at the bottom. Be sure to check it out. Seriously, how cute is this?! My friend Beth MADE this little tutu and headband for Sydney. I finally remembered to take advantage of the nice weather and get a photo-op before it got too cold. […]

  • Sock it to me.

    OK, wow, I’ve not been living up to my own frequent-blogging standards. Sorry about that. I’ve been busy this week helping the girls with their consignment sale. It was such a hoot! I don’t think any of us thought it would be so big–I’m talking amount of clothes (could barely fit it on our racks) […]

  • My neurosis. And at least one perfect picture.

    You’d think I’d have figured it out by now, but sometimes I forget to lower my expectations. In some cases, I do really well. For instance, when we went to California last spring, I mentally prepared myself for NO sleeping in whatsoever, for a moody and challenging toddler while I single-mommed it for a few […]

  • Even more Carsonisms

    OK, seriously, my son cracks me up. I can’t even remember all the funny things he says. I’m loving this part of 3 years old. Lots of talking and conversation all day. Except this conversation that happens a lot. Imagine me doing the dishes and Carson talking but also kind of gazing off, not exactly […]

  • Sneak Peek

    OK, obviously my recipe post bored you all, judging by the ONE comment. (Yes, I tend to judge my posts by how many comments I get.) So, here’s one that should please you more. Here are some very recent pics of my sweet Syd. She is growing so fast, and I fall more in love […]

  • Spaghetti, Ice Cream Sandwiches and Apple Crisp

    Let’s share! As a post script to my last post, I’m sharing with you some of my favorite recipes. May I suggest you read, copy if you’d like, but then you post a recipe on your blog that others might like. Maybe it’s your signature dish, maybe not. 🙂 Celeste already started the trend with […]

  • Signature

    Do you have a signature dish? Did you grow up with one at your house? I guess, in its truest sense, a signature dish would be one that the author cook actually invents and creates the recipe. You know “secret ingredients” and all that. Well, I do not foresee in my future that I will […]

  • A contradiction?

    OK, I hope I don’t step on any toes here. This is just my personal opinion. For some reason, I tend to steer away from “character” clothes and/or decor. Let me explain. I would probably not buy Carson clothes that have Diego or Spiderman on them. A shirt or two here and there or PJ’s […]
