I was never what you’d call a great athlete. I was a star at ballet, but that was pretty much it. I stunk at soccer, basketball, volleyball (ouch!), and every other game they made us play at P.E. and recess when I was a kid. And forget Winter sports. I tried skiing several times and…
Ultimate Blog Party – Ready to Party!
The Ultimate Blog Party is a yearly event put on by the fabulous ladies at 5 Minutes For Mom and it’s all about meeting people and getting your blog noticed. Since I just recently re-wrote my About Me page, I am going to point you all there, and leave you with a short and sweet…
Percy Jackson in Washington DC? GMYBSPSF
I just finished reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians – The Lightning Thief after seeing my kids devour the book. I didn’t see the movie in theaters (though now I wish I had) because I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I just didn’t thoroughly enjoy sharing it with my 9 year old son, who decided that…
Spring Fever….It’s Not the Only Fever Going Around!
Spring Fever? Nope. That’s not what I’ve got. It already feels like full Summer around here, with several days of 85+ degree weather in Maryland (please, Utah friends: Don’t throw any rotten bananas or tomatoes at me for saying that. Remember that I did my time this Winter being stuck under several feet of snow!)…
Date Night
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of 20th Century Fox. All opinions are 100% mine. Later this month, CandyMan and I will celebrate our 15th anniversary. That’s a long time to be together. Being together for over 15 years and having 5 children together has been wonderful and often….but not always….exciting….
Washington DC Cherry Blossom Festival
There is something magical about visiting Washington DC during the peak of the Cherry Blossoms. During the 12 years that I have lived here in the metro DC area, I have been able to travel down to the City several times to see the blossoming trees. Last year, I even did an early morning photo…
Spring Break 2010
After returning home from my second full day’s trip out with the kids last week, my husband asked a tired me, “Why do you do this to yourself?” I told him the alternative was staying home and watching movies all day. The weather was gorgeous, we live in one of the most exciting places in…
Bloggography Challenge – The Rule of Thirds
Before we get to this week’s challenge, here’s one of the photos from our last challenge that stood out to me: Exposure compensation, by Grammie Diaries. I just love this shot! Check out Manic Mother’s post to see who she is featuring today. In two weeks, we’ll be featuring a photo from today’s Challenge. Could…
As Fun To Say As It Is To Use
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine. Boudreaux’s Butt Paste: As many years as I used Butt Paste on my kids’ bums, I never grew tired of saying the name out loud. Say it: Butt Paste. Makes you chuckle a little, doesn’t it?…
Hand-dipped Chocolate Truffle Recipe
Chocolate is my weakness (ok–ONE of my weaknesses. I have many). When I discovered how easy it is to make hand-dipped chocolates that are even better than the boxed chocolate truffles, I just about did a back-flip (a friend of mine and her mother in law taught me, and I am eternally indebted to…
