I moved again!

This time it is final.  I promise.

Yes, I know it is ugly

So, my first wordpress post. It isn’t that pretty around these parts right now. But I wanted to make the move. Soon and hopefully sooner than later, it will be pretty.
I was all set to have Summer at Designs By Summer make a new layout for me. I like her work [...]

My kids are anal

They get it from their father.
Because God knows, I’m far from anal. Things don’t have to be perfect in my book. I don’t mind a little clutter, my clothes are never perfectly ironed, and my bed is rarely made. Ok, so it is only made when the cleaning ladies come because they [...]

Works For Me Wednesday: Mastercook

I stumbled upon a cookbook software a few years ago and I have to say that not a few days go by that I don’t use it.
Mastercook has become a life saver for me. It comes with its own recipes (over 8000 actually!), but what I like it best for is to create [...]

I was tagged

How fun! This is my first blog tag game. I was tagged by Boys Rule My Life. I’m sure the majority of the 5 I’m tagging have no idea who I am as I’m kind of a quiet reader. I know, I know, if I want people to comment here, I [...]

The Money Pit’s updates

As you know, I hate love my house. When we first acquired it in the fall of 2006, it needed so much work that we couldn’t move in for 6 weeks after closing. The previous owners really liked having blue carpet in the kitchen and throughout the house and wallpaper in every room. [...]

Snow cones

It was 2 degrees this morning while driving the girls to school. Normally, it wouldn’t have bothered me that much as I could go from my warm house into my running, heated car in my not so warm garage. Today I wasn’t so lucky. Our garage door broke last week following [...]

My question of the day

What would possess an almost 5 year old to stick a popcorn kernel up her nose?
It must have seemed like a good idea at the time until it hurt and she began to freak out. One quick blow with me holding the other nostril shut dislodged the kernel which shot out like a cannonball. [...]

I miss my summer Thursdays

Thursdays in the summer are like Christmas morning. That’s the day our box from our CSA is delivered. CSA stands for Community Support Agriculture which really means we get a box of local, fresh, organic veggies each week. It makes me feel good that we are supporting local farmers (ok, so they [...]

Another piece of Chocolate cake…

As I said on Works for Me Wednesday, I shopped online at Chocolate Cake Club for some Christmas gifts. I’ve been really a happy with my purchases there and was happily surprised that Sue Kirchner, the founder of the Chocolate Cake Club, was kind enough to stop by and leave me a comment [...]
