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 […]

I’m sure most people are looking at the title of this post and thinking, “whatever”. But if you are in Texas and looking for fabric, then you need to know. I’m not sure if some of these are the biggest fabric stores in Texas, but they’ve got to be close. For years I’ve been stuck […]

One of my very favorite things growing up was to come home and find my mother not there. She was very bossy and we fought a lot but that wasn’t the reason why; I loved to make baked goods while she wasn’t around to tell me I was doing things wrong. She also would make me […]

But this was so very funny and clever about the election aftermath. And it’s entirely appropriate that these interviews take place in Portland and Austin. Not a single person voted for McCain in either city. Really, Nobody. Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are

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. 

Remember that post a few days ago that showed the mayhem that Ada and Jasper caused? I don’t know what it is with those two, but the urge to destroy runs deep. Since then we have had to endure: –Writing on several walls and a dresser (courtesy of Ada). I got out the Goo Gone […]

Just about every day we go swimming in one of our neighborhood pools. If you have kids and are a frequenter of public pools you know how impossible it is to keep track of swim googles. Every summer we start out with one pair for everybody and somehow by the… Read More

Hey lookie! Makeup Monday is back! It’s not just about makeup, despite its name. It’s about beauty, and products I like, and maybe even a tutorial or two. After all, I want you readers to be even better looking than you already are! Well, actually, you can be hideous if… Read More

I’m seriously sick of myself lately.  Do you ever feel that way?  You look at yourself and think, “Ugh.  What is wrong with me?”   Everything I’m hating pretty much stems from an utter lack of self-discipline.  For example, I’m 39 and I still bite my nails.  All the time.  Why?  I’ve been trying to […]

Y’all know how much I love snacks, right? A lot. A super lot. I would much rather eat snacks all day than have a meal. Even a really delicious meal. Are you like that too or is it just me? Far and away my favorite place to by snacks is… Read More

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 […]

Have you ever gotten sucked into a world that a few hours earlier you didn’t even know existed? That was me, today. Somehow I ran across a picture of an adorable dirndl dress on Pinterest. I knew that ladies in Austria and southern Germany still wear them occasionally but I… Read More

Farming is my little passion. I don’t actually do it. I’m much too lazy. But it’s a subject I love. So I was pretty interested in this commercial that I saw last week at the movie theatre. Chipotle??? Who would have guessed? I have only eaten there once but I’m going to make a concerted […]

It’s been Prom time around here. We have a no-dating-til-age-16 rule which means this was the first year that York and India were both old enough to go. India went with her boyfriend, Ethan, to both the school Prom and MoPro (Mormon Prom) where there aren’t so many skanky dresses… Read More
