Fall conjures up so many images for different folks. Some think of vibrantly shaded maple leaves, Macintosh apples and cider. Others think of pumpkin bread, jack o’ lanterns and crisp, dewy mornings. Avery told me the other day that “Fall means I have to start bringing my coat to school.” But to me, this season […]
Archives for September 2009
I’ve got a cold…or maybe it’s the swine flu?
Uggghhh. I’m sick. Not the kind of sick where I want to snuggle into my bedcovers and watch soap operas or evenreruns of “The Nanny” or “Little House on the Prairie”. The kind of sick where I want to snuggle into my bedcovers and sleep until it’s 2012. Are you hearing me? No reruns? Not […]
Alright…so this is why I do it.
In case you’ve been following my blog you’ve probably heard me whine a little (okay, a whole lot) about my unpaid stay-at-home mom job. To quickly recap: I love my kids and feel grateful that I get to be home with them…but I sometimes question whether I had a lapse in sanity when I made […]
To Sleep Like a Baby
I remember when Avery was a baby and we’d take her to parties. That little munchkin wouldsleep the entire time! She was never the type of baby who required Jeremy and I to take her home in lieu of spending an entire evening with friends or family. That kid could just sleep, anywhere and everywhere. […]
Little Beauty Queens
I believe I have confessed to an unnatural obsession with reality shows. And, still, I am not proud. I know that there are so many other more enlightening things I could expose my psyche to. Like reading a dictionary, for instance. Or, studying Birkram yoga. But, I just can’t help myself. And lately? Well, it’s […]
Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings Recipe
To celebrate the official First Day of Fall (September 22) I have decided to share another crockpot recipe. Isn’t fall just the crockpot time of year? School has started, soccer is in full swing, homework is aplenty and cooking dinner is…well, just in the way. To me there is nothing more satisfying than getting an […]
Household Tip of the Week – Mr. Clean’s Magic Eraser Mop
If you’ve never used a Magic Eraser than you are surely missing out. These little babies are truly magical. With a little water activation on the end of an unassuming little white sponge they become the housekeeper you’ve always wished for but never wanted to feel inferior to. They work on everything. They clean up […]
Thank God for Fridays…
I’ve previously divulged that I am of the “non-employed” variety. And to my friends with jobs it always sounds so funny when I say, “God I’mready forthe weekend!” I usually get a snicker/sneer and they’re all, “Um, isn’t every day a weekend for you?” as they roll their eyes. Ha ha ha. Well…quite frankly…hell no. […]
It’s a NEW Soccer Season People!
Alittle while back I posted (in shame) about Avery’s last soccer season. You can see that here. To recap quickly: her shoes were too small and it all ended horribly. So when Avery told us that she wanted to play soccer this fall season, needless to say, we were very apprehensive. We weighed the pros […]
Kentucky Butter Cake Recipe
Say, what?!? A cake…that’s actually named after butter? Sign me up, please! Y’all, (trying to get my inner-Kentucky to come out) this cake is to die for. I’ve made it twice and both times managed to almost consume the entire thing on my own. And, as if the Devil himself sanctioned this delectable bit of […]
