If you have never had these brownies, you HAVE to try them. If you HAVE had them, then you know how amazingly moist and delicious they are. I am usually skeptical about recipes that are supposedly from restaurants or bakeries. They never seem to turn out as good when I make them (and I…

Slideshow
I finished a simple sidebar slideshow so that everyone can know who’s who. Enjoy looking at my cute kids. That’s it for today. :)
Divided by five
I don’t know why, but I felt like writing this morning, and I grabbed a pen and notebook and wrote this down. As a mother of five kids, I am a rarity nowadays, and I admit I can be somewhat of a spectacle. It used to be that whenever I left the house with all…
I almost forgot….
I almost forgot to post today. Oops. I didn’t, however, forget to take pictures today. The kids and I spent some time raking leaves in the front yard. Today was a half day of school because of parent-teacher conferences, and so we had LOTS of time to spend together. Haha! It was a long day….
Updated
I have updated my photo blog twice recently. Check HERE to see some new pictures of my friend, Safire, and her cute kids! (the above picture is just included for fun–It cracks me up!)
Rite Aid is my hero
Another Monday morning and one more trip to the doctor. Yep, Taco finished his antibiotic on Friday, and by Sunday his strep was back. I am feeling so worn down. I needed something good to happen to pep me up today. I headed straight to my normal pharmacy to get his Rx. They didn’t have…
20 Essential Ideas to Help Create a Better Family–Part 1 of 4

Day 8 — Pet Peeves
A few months ago, my friend, Lisa, invited me to participate in her family and friend’s photo group. Every month we have 3 challenges. This month, our photo challenges are 1) hands and feet, 2) rocks, and 3) pet peeves. I was thinking of my own pet peeves (nose picking, tapping, burping….Haha!) but then this…
Day 7 — Hard at play
Yesterday we went with our friends, Safire and kids, to the Resource Center. We moms held babies while the 3 year olds played hard. Apple was thrilled with the pink playdough (it was the most popular center of the day) and he made 18 dye-drop Fall leaves out of coffee filters and food coloring. I…
Day 6 — Meet the Bakers?
Let me introduce you to my family. We might look familiar, but some things have changed. On the left is my oldest daughter, Kiwi (NOW KitKat). In my husband’s lap is my youngest son, Apple. Smack dab in the middle is my kindergartener, Reese. Next comes my first born son, Taco, and my beautiful tom-boy,…
