Here it is——->>>>>> You guys, I thought the oil/shortening assignment would be an easy one! So far my list of good girls is short: Anybody else have something they want to tell me? In case you have been wondering where to store your food, I thought I would include a picture of our […]
Did you know there is a Baby Name season? Well, there isn’t really. But the Social Security Administration recently released their list of the 1000 Most Popular Baby Names for 2009 (you’ll need to scroll down to the section that says “Popular Names by Birth Year” and select “top 1000”. Also listed are top 100 […]
Have you been hearing about cleaning your face with oil yet? If not, you will soon. The Oil Cleansing Method is all the rage. If you’re new to the concept of cleaning your skin with oil this will sound like the most ludicrous, bizarre notion EVER. Because who puts oil on her face? Who??? Lots […]
All right, my lovelies. Here’s this week’s food storage items. These will be a breeze.——->>> Here’s who bought their flour last week: Suzanne-are you the one who already had their flour and wheat? That leaves a whole bunch of people who haven’t gotten their flour. Sigh.
If you are reading this post it’s probably because you just found a louse in your child’s hair (or your own! Yuuuck!) or even worse, the school nurse just did. Please take a deep breath. When I found a louse in my hair I felt like setting my head on fire and running screaming down […]
Our Spring Break is officially underway! York is at track practice and India’s taking the SAT but soon all the kids will be FREE! For the first time ever we will actually be going somewhere over Spring Break. Just to Grandma and Grandpa’s vacation house in Arizona, so it’s not terribly fancy. The grandparents won’t […]
York is turning twelve tomorrow. I know! I can’t believe I have a boy who’ll be passing the sacrament! Just to make his birthday crappy, he got braces. He was pretty happy that I took a “during” shot: Happy Early Birthday York! He says he wants a Cookie-Cake for his birthday. Some sort of […]
I needed to pick up some little bowls with lids so I stopped by the baby department at Target yesterday thinking I might find some. I haven’t been through there in a while. The baby bowls are right next to the sippy cups so I thought I might pick up a few, seeing as how […]
I don’t know why I do this to myself every year. I get some idea in my head for cute Valentines for my kids to give out so I hit the craft store and buy all the necessary stuff. And then I make the food to go inside (because it’s Texas, a lawless frontier where […]

After a stop at TKTS to buy theatre tickets first thing in the morning, we headed off to The British Museum. Or as I like to call it, The British Museum of Pillaging and Thievery. Due to the British having the biggest and strongest army/navy for so many centuries, they’ve stolen every antiquity across the […]
I’ve already admitted that I’m a mathist and that I hate all things number-related. Now that my children are getting older and bringing home more complex math assignments, it’s getting harder for me to respond to their whines of “why do we have to dooo thiiiiis?” At least when they were learning their times tables […]
Our family, like many others, eats pizza a lot. It gets expensive but who can resist a nice hot meal that you don’t have to leave the house for? Eventually I decided to learn to make it myself. It’s so crazy easy (and cheap!) that we haven’t ordered out for pizza in forever. This tutorial […]
My freshman year of college I lived in an apartment (because I was simply too cool to live in the dorms, if you must know) with four girls from Texas. They were from a little town in eastern Texas named Gilmer (not Gilmore!). They told me all about Homecoming and how the girls would wear […]
