Today is the 7th birthday of my youngest girl, Adelaide Amelia Clementine. For her birthday she asked for a skateboard, a Texas Longhorns T-shirt, new tennis shoes, and a basketball hoop that is more her size. Can you say tomboy? (Sweet shot, Ada!) Finn, on the other hand, did not want to try out the […]
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 […]
This is a parenting tip that I just barely learned with baby #5. it’s so advanced and so counterintuitive that only the most advanced parents may employ it*: If your child starts to throw up, DO NOT pick the child up and dash madly for the closest bathroom. You will only leave a giant trail […]
Do you have the little handheld game called 20Q? It’s based on the game called 20 questions and is eerily, freakily correct most of the time. We have one of these floating around our house (actually I think we have two) and every once in a while I have the urge to try to outwit […]

I haven’t talked much about mascara in a while. At the beginning of the summer I had a bout of Pink Eye which required me to throw away all my eye makeup and start from scratch. It takes me a while to get over Pink Eye and I like to wait a few weeks before […]

You know Texas is HOT in the summer so although we have swimming pools every ten feet, we also have several beloved swimming’ holes (also it’s always “swimmin’” not “swimming” unless you want to sound like an out-of-towner). Growing up in Michigan we had lakes in every direction. We swam in them but they always […]
HEB (the best grocery store in Texas, hence the World) sent me some new Primo Picks to try out. Primo Picks are interesting/cool/extra awesome products that they feature at the store. Since I am always game to try new things, I was pretty jazzed. I waited until the kids got home from school before I […]
As I have mentioned before, I have a keen talent for losing things. This week I have lost: Isn’t this a cute earring? I agree. Too bad I only have one now. (I just got them in December! Frustrating!) How do you lose a big cake pan like this? I can’t tell you how, only […]
Our first recipe in honor of Oreo’s 100th birthday this week is for Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies. These cookies are totally gilding the lily, which is an excellent thing when it comes to baked goods. I know you’re thinking this is like the cookie version of a terducken, but they really are divine. As the […]
