A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold. ~Ogden Nash In some families, please is described as the magic word. In our house, however, it was sorry. ~Margaret Laurence Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we…

Fun with melted chocolate and sprinkles!
On Thursday, the kids and I tried an amazingly easy and sinfully yummy recipe posted on a friend Melinda’s blog the other day. Reese got a little out-of-hand with the melted chocolate and sprinkles…. But in the end, we had these… Oh my! Heavenly! Mine were not as beautiful as Melinda’s, but they tasted SO…
I made the top ten!
I was excited to learn this morning that my adult entry for the I Heart Faces contest this week made The Top Ten. Yes, Miz Booshay of Pioneer Woman fame picked my photo as one of the ten best! That’s a great way to start a Saturday cleaning day! Now back to scrubbing the carpet…….
Speaking of Flash….let’s flash back to February 2003
Melinda, over at Bloggin’ it from the ‘Burbs is doing a weekly Flashback Friday post. I have loved it the last few weeks, and I swore I’d join in today. It has taken me all day to get to it, since I’ve been at the school volunteering. And then I had to find an old…
Foto Friday–Tips for Better Flash Photos
We’re back for another addition of Foto Friday! I decided to tackle one of the hardest areas of photography for me (and most people, I think)–using the Flash. Putting this list together was a great reminder for me. ~My first tip is that even flash photos need light. Your flash photos will look better if…
Another trip to the doctor, another tag
Hey, friends! It’s been a busy day over here. After sending KitKat back to school yesterday (I figured she needed to expose a few of her friends….Geesh!), and after she looked worse than ever in the evening, I finally broke down and decided to take her to the doctor. I had hesitated to take her…
Mamma Mia! We’ve got a winner!
OK–can I just tell you that picking a random number this morning and then counting down the comments to find the winner of the Mamma Mia DVD was SO MUCH FUN! SO exciting! I want to do this again! So are you curious which of my lucky readers gets to curl up with some popcorn…
Grab a book and get comfy…..
….because we’re staying in for another day. Just when KitKat was feeling well enough to go back to school, my dear Twizzler woke up this morning, gave me a pitiful look, and headed straight to the bathroom to throw up. So we’ll be doing a lot of this today: Thank goodness for books, comfy sweats,…
Knock, Knock! Who’s there?
What would you do if the kids were in bed, your husband was not home, and the doorbell rang at 10:00pm? I ran up to the door, peered through the peep hole, and shouted, “Who is it?” No answer. The peep hole was empty. Nothing. No response. I thought about opening the door, but I…
The moments every mother hopes for….
Necco came home from school today and asked if she could make a cake. Out of the blue. She got to work right away, and made the entire cake and buttercream frosting completely on her own. She even added sprinkles to make the frosting colorful and fun. And then she colored some of the frosting…
