I bought these babies for a recipe that involved wrapping them around some chicken sausages. But I was craving garlic bread with tonight’s pasta and this was the closest thing I had. I’ve opened pandora’s box, though, because the boy was in love with them. “More bread, Mom!” I’m sure […]
Why I love Photo Booth
Because I sat with my kid for a good 15 minutes the other day taking these crazy shots. We were both laughing so hard. I had tears in my eyes and he was giddy with the hilarity of it all. Laughter = perfect moment.
Mr. Smooch
We all know that love doesn’t only happen on Valentine’s Day. It comes in those little everyday moments that often take you by surprise. I mean, who would expect, while sitting on the sidelines of a Junior Hoopsters basketball class, that an almost-4-year-old would split from the group in the […]
The note he wrote
Well, he actually dictated it to Scott. It’s an apology for the naughtiness, which caused him to miss his class Valentine’s Day party (also one of his classmate’s birthday celebrations). He handed it to me when I came in the door yesterday after he’d had to leave day care. Scott […]
The romance of it all!
For Valentine’s Day, I got a call from day care saying that Devin was causing so much trouble today that we needed to come pick him up. Now there’s some love for ya! I don’t know what’s going on with our kiddo lately, but he’s struggling a bit at school. […]
To organic or not to organic
The world is a different place today, isn’t it? I’m all for it, true. I believe in recycling and am fairly rabid about it, I use green cleaners, I buy and eat healthy foods, I shop locally whenever I can. But sometimes it makes me crazy. The good stuff that […]
A little rain never hurt anyone
Some days there is just so much going on at our house and it seems like it’s a hassle to get it all done. (Well, maybe I should say EVERY day!) After the whole work/school thing ends, there come the tasks of making dinner, cleaning up, feeding the pets, walking […]
Slappity slap
So it’s Super Bowl Sunday and I’m upstairs updating my blog while the hubby is watching the game solo. I just don’t care about either team enough, I guess. I did, however, partake in the food portion of the event. I mixed up some chicken nachos. They were darn good, […]
Highs and lows
Target makes me crazy. I go in for a few things and I always come out with way more. That place sucks the money right out of my wallet, sock monkey slipper by sock monkey slipper. Although my new purchase cheers me on many levels, I’m not feeling very sunshiney […]
“M” is for Mocha
We visited my mom in Kalamazoo on Friday. Devin had the brilliant idea that we “Go see Gramma when I wake up in the morning.” So, yeah. We did. I miss K-zoo. I wanted out so badly when I was younger. All I could think about was Chicago, Chicago, Chicago. […]
He & Me
I joined a Flickr group dedicated to parents taking photos of themselves with their kids. Weekly. Ay-yi-yi! Me and my projects. We’ll see how cooperative the Devster is for this one. The last one didn’t involve a particular subject. I think this will be fun and also grace us with […]
A weekend full of culture
Whirlwind. I did SO much this weekend. Kind of a refreshing change from three weekends suffering through chest colds, sinus infections and kiddie pneumonia. My recreational pursuits, though, make me chuckle a bit upon reflection. Friday. Shared tubs of popcorn and cups of fruit punch with Devin while viewing “Veggie […]
