My kids are so guilty. Take a look at the evidence. This is a glimpse of what they did on August 9, 2009: August 9th just happens to be the last day my long lost waterproof camera was used. And these just happen to be the last 5 pictures taken on that lost camera. The…
Hold the Presses! I Got Out my Sewing Machine Today!
Did I mention that I was sick? Yep, full blown, nasty cold. I will admit that I am feeling better today. The body aches are gone. But my nose is more stuffed and I am having horrible hot and cold flashes. Instead of resting like a normal sick person, I babysat this morning and sewed…
A Lesson on Budgeting….and Gratitude
Thanks to a conversation I had with a friend from church last night, I have a little lesson in budgeting for you today. From Wikipedia – Zero-based budgeting: Zero-based budgeting is a technique of planning and decision-making which reverses the working process of traditional budgeting. In traditional incremental budgeting, departmental managers justify only increases over…
Shine
Last night, thanks to a post on Life with Kaishon, I found a perfect meme for me today. Over the weekend, with all of the cleaning going on, I had a chance to go in and out of the bedrooms upstairs. On one quick trip into Kitkat’s room to drop something off, I took a…
The Benefits of Spending the Day Cleaning:
1 – Everything just plain looks better. 2 – Work is great family bonding time. 3 – Having six black garbage bags of things to give away feels so liberating! 4 – The kids finally have weather-appropriate clothes to wear (although I am VERY sad to report that we have yet to find the bin…
Give Me Your Best Shot – Carving
My poor, poor kids. First, we waited until the last minute to take a trip to the pumpkin patch. Then we brought home ONE pumpkin. And then that one pumpkin sat on our kitchen table until three days after Halloween. Un-carved. Neglected. Necco was desperate to carve our lone pumpkin. Every night, for several nights…
My Wedding Night STUNK!
MamaKat asked me to tell you about my most humorous wedding experience. I can’t believe I’m about to blog about my wedding night. And I’m not sure how to put this delicately. Let’s just say we laughed about it that night and we continue to laugh about it 14 years later. Here’s how it happened:…
Growing Pains?
No, I’m not referring to that endearing show from the 80’s…. Although right about now I might not mind watching an episode or two for the sake of nostalgia. I am instead referring to my new domain name! I have taken away the blogspot address and replaced it with my new name: https://foodfunfamily.com/. Please note…
Halloween Shots (It’s About Time!)
Despite the fact that I was very slow to get into the Halloween spirit, it appears that my kids were still able to have a pretty decent Halloween. In keeping with past years, all five of my kids picked different costumes to wear on Friday (for school parties and the trunk or treat at church)…
Glider School – Spring 1985
Ask me about my teachers in middle school and high school (even college), and I am stumped. Sadly, only a few of them stand out to me, and those only faintly. For the most part, their faces and memories are a blur to me. Ask me about my elementary school teachers, and I can definitely…
