I could just dye…

Posted in Family, It's all about me!, The Feisty Redhead on July 27, 2008 | 22 Comments »

Yesterday Mimi, the fashionista, decided that my hair looked really cute, but that it just needed  a few adjustments.   She grabbed a brush and started “fixing” me.  After a few agonizing moments she proclaimed me Beautiful. 
Then she paused and cocked her head staring at the top of my head intently.   “You know”, she said “all [...]

When the girls were in elementary school, they enrolled in the School Savings Program that was sponsored by a local bank.   Basically the girls could bring  money to school on a certain day of the week, and deposit them in their own savings account.  This worked really well and the girls each saved a (very [...]

Mimi’s Fantastic Dinner

Posted in Cooking, Family, Food, The Feisty Redhead on July 21, 2008 | 20 Comments »

Not one to be discouraged by not-so-great cooking results,  our Mimi once again headed to the kitchen to prepare a feast for her family.  She chose a complicated looking recipe from the food network (it was labeled “easy” but obviously that was a typo) and got to work.
On a day that our vegan girl [...]

In The Kitchen With Mimi

Posted in Cooking, Family, Food, The Feisty Redhead, tagged , , , , , on July 8, 2008 | 21 Comments »

Ever since Mimi was a wee little thing, she has been fascinated by the art of cooking.  She was the only four year old that I knew who would rather have watched a cooking show instead of a cartoon. 
I can’t help but wonder if the love of cooking is a genetic thing.  Mimi’s grandfather was [...]

 For this week’s Fun Monday, Olive has asked us to tell about a whopper of a fish story.  I signed up knowing that I’m pretty good at coming up with quite the story from just a little kernel of truth.  (Just ask my family…it drives them nuts when I use my Creative License to liven [...]

Shaun: I love being out in nature
KT: Yeah…so you can run over it!

Proof that I’m a Neanderthal

Posted in Family on July 4, 2008 | 12 Comments »

I’ve been messing with my template, trying to make a new and improved version. 
I somehow forgot that my brain never made it into the future…I’m still back in the stone age.  In my brain, I’m still using a typewriter (at least I’ve trained myself not to keep trying to hit the carriage return!) 
So…I’ve lost my [...]
