If you had to make a list of the best and worst things that happened last year, what would be on your list? This is the list that I typed up for the Christmas cards (the one that CandyMan didn’t like). Well, they might not be good enough for the Christmas cards, but they are [...]

Other Wordless Wednesday pics HERE and HERE

My mom took me to see the movie Mamma Mia during the summer when I was out visiting her, and we had a blast! Despite the story line, it is the ultimate feel-good movie. I’ve been eyeing the soundtrack at Costco, but didn’t want to spend the $15 or so. I was on Amazon today, [...]

The kids begged for me to run some errands today so that KitKat could babysit. What a strange feeling! I did, in fact, need to return a movie and buy some candy for the special project that we’ve got for tomorrow…so I headed out to Giant (a local grocery store for those non-East Coasters). I [...]

Yesterday, I read about Tackle it Tuesday–Making housework blog-able. Exactly what I need! Motivation! Accountability! So the project I chose to tackle was the cabinet in my family room. Here’s the before shot: And here’s the after: There you go! Yippee!

Believe….Hope….Faith….Love…..At McDonalds? We all needed to get out of the house tonight, so we headed to McD’s for dinner. We rarely go to McDonalds….a fact that became very apparent once we walked inside and looked around. The reataurant near our house has been completely renovated. It actually felt nice. And clean.

Another week of menu planning! I can’t use the holidays as an excuse not to plan meals for another week. Here are the meals I’ve got scheduled for this week. I’ve included the recipes on my new recipe blog, with links below (pictures will be added as I make them this week). Enjoy! **Cheesy Vegetable [...]

I never thought I’d get so much satisfaction from a pair of slippers. My old ones were falling apart at the seams. They were so bad that they ended up straight in the trash. Not even good enough to be recycled. CandyMan gave me these new slippers for Christmas, and my feet have been happy [...]

Today was a big day for me. At Church at least. Today was KitKat’s first day in Young Women’s and AJ’s last day in nursery. Next week he’s a BIG Sunbeam in the BIG KIDS’ Primary. Sadly, he only made it through half of his last day of nursery because he was having a break [...]
