My biggest accomplishment this week was most definitely getting over pneumonia. I even recovered enough to take that trip to New York City with my family yesterday. I took a few pictures….this is your official warning. Be on the look out this week for all the details of wandering the streets on New York with…

Child Safety Advice….From a Child
I am getting ready to take all 5 of my kids to New York City for a whirlwind day of sightseeing (yes, I decided that I am well enough to survive a day trip to NYC!). As my husband was prepping the kids for our trip (paying particular attention to the younger kids and safety…
Food Photography {Help?} – PSF/GMYBS
Apparently, all I am good for these days is cooking. The strangest thing happened to me while I have been sick these past few weeks. I actually want to cook. Either the pneumonia has done something to my head or I’ve been spending way too much time on Pinterest while I’ve been trying to rest….
Butterfinger Blondies
Have I mentioned that I have a sweet tooth? I think it would be more accurate to say that I have a few dozen sweet teeth. I just can’t get enough of baking yummy treats, and Pinterest has introduced me to some of the most delicious sweets imaginable. This week’s treat is a recipe that…
Fight Cold, Cough, and Flu Season With #FloridaOJ
You might have heard me mention a time or two that we have been sick around here. Yes, I am getting over pneumonia, and although (thank goodness) no one else in the family has been quite as sick as I’ve been, the cold-cough-flu bugs have hit every single one of us this season. It seems…
Meet Freddy – Wordless Wednesday
AJ made a new friend today. He’s been raving about Freddy ever since he got home from school. They played together, talked together, and, um….even took a bath together. Freddy is the rock that AJ found on the way home from school. Ha! Reese got all dressed up for Valentine’s Day. Big sister KitKat did…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Today I will stay inside my warm house and dream of chocolates. I am skipping my kids’ Valentine’s class parties for the first time since 2001. I am determined to kick this pneumonia, and I’m afraid it’s going to take a few more days resting at home before that happens. I am crushed that I…
Chicken Tikka Masala Recipe
My husband is a serious lover of Indian foods. He regularly complains that he was born in the wrong country because our food is simply too boring for his tastes. He eats out at Indian restaurants as often as he can (which is not often enough). I hate to admit it, but up until this…
Project 365 {Week 6}
Wow. This has been a rough week. I ended up finally taking myself to the doctor on Friday, which was a very good thing…I have pneumonia. I’m recovering, slowly, with antibiotics and pills for my cough. I still haven’t had a full night sleep in many days. Maybe tonight? Despite the sickies, I have stuck…
Look at the Stars – Photostory Friday/GMYBS
This has been a rough week. First, Susan Niebur, my friend and fellow DC-area blogger died on Monday. Her passing was not a surprise. She has been valiantly fighting cancer for the last 5 years and had not been doing well of late. I’ve found that funerals are emotionally taxing, but they are cleansing as…
