Spoiled Rotten!

The girls came tearing upstairs when they heard the smoke alarm going off.  I’m not sure if they were concerned that the house was actually on fire, or if they have come to associate that sound with their dinner being ready.  Hmmm…scary thought.  
Mimi was the first to arrive and peered over my shoulder to see what I [...]

Erin Go Braugh

Last night, while we were sleeping, our mischievous little friend Paddy O’Furniture (otherwise known as the Magical Leprechaun) came to visit. The girls were thrilled to find that he had once again magically turned our milk green and our cereal into Lucky Charms. (It’s true, they are magically delicious.) But what a nasty color combination!  
The [...]

Scrambled Eggs

It seems that most people think that the perfect cure for almost any illness is homemade chicken noodle soup.  Not me.  I think of something completely different. (And of course, it’s all my mother’s fault.)
What I remember most about being sick when I was a kid was that my mom would make scrambled eggs for me when [...]

Sickie Poo

Our KT is home sick today.  She is achy and has been running a fever.  When she feels like this, she goes into “Baby Girl Mode”.  She’s not needy or whiney, she wants me with her constantly.  
We have spent most of the day with her hot little body snuggled up close to mine.  We had to watch the Academy [...]

Something Silly

Ms. FixIt

Yesterday was the Dreaded Laundry Day. I know that I really shouldn’t complain. After all, we do live in the wonderful age of technology. All I really had to do was treat the clothing and then dump them in my washing machine along with some detergent. This is opposed to trekking down to the river [...]

It’s that time of year!

You see them everywhere. The grocery store, the nursery, the hardware store…anywhere that they can fit a small table and their tempting merchandise. This small army is on a mission to raise funds and cause our waistlines to triple. Of course, I am talking about Girl Scout Cookies.

From the way she is talking now, this [...]

Potato Puffs

This weekend kt got a wild hair and decided she wanted to work on her cooking skills. So she pored over the vegetarian cookbook that we had borrowed from the library and decided that she would make something called “Potato Puffs”. These lovely little gems were basically leftover mashed potatoes wrapped up in crescent rolls.
I [...]

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

I’ve always loved Dr. Seuss. He has a wonderful silliness that absolutely appeals to me. This is a man has that inspired so many to read. It amazes me that he does this simply by making up words and goofy stories! What's not to love about that? If I make up a few words here [...]
