I have written nearly five different blog posts over the last week. Long ones. But I’m really disliking all of them so they will stay tucked away in my Drafts folder for now. You know how sometimes you want to eat something but nothing sounds good? It’s like that. But with words. I also took […]
Take a look around. This blog as you know it will be evolving soon. The Blog Fairy has worked her magic and the grand unveiling of my new blog (at a new location, no less!) will be happening presently. I have a cute new picture, courtesy of The Lucky Red Hen (who is sort of […]
Yes, we got mac & Cheese a while ago but this week we’re going to be working on plain old noodles. This includes Ramen. So let’s stock up on your favorites. My family eats this stuff a lot. It’s a great food to have on hand because it requires nothing more than water to prepare. […]
It’s time we sat down and had a chat. You know you’re not getting any younger, right? Even if you’re 22, you know your lovely, wrinkle-free skin won’t last forever. The older you get, the more important nice skin becomes. So here’s what you need to do: Stay out of the sun. I know, I […]

I don’t want anyone to die of jealousy, but I fell asleep last night at 9:30 ( I keep having really late nights that finally have caught up with me) and slept the entire night until 7 am. Slept like a dead person. My family must have been very concerned, because when I finally rose […]
The whole blogging thing really puts me in a weird position because the basic idea is that I show people my life. The very idea is egotistical. Like most women I want to show you my life and impress you. But I also don’t want to be one of those people who is obnoxious with […]

It’s March. It’s 80°. All week long. Does this mean I can wear sandals? You northern-y people are saying “Of course! 80 degrees definitely means sandals!” But there is some unspoken code in warm-weather places. Growing up in Michigan I don’t know this code. In Michigan I wore snow boots with my Easter dress every […]
We are still unemployed around here. Not fun. Tempers flare easily. But even with that there are still blessings. We know the Lord is watching out for us even though The Big Blessing (a great job) still hasn’t happened YET. Namely because in the last week: 1) Mister has gotten a couple of decent consulting […]
The Stink-Finder can be found on various pet websites. It’s nothing more than a fancy black light. Those who are familiar with the C.S.I. oeuvre know that it enables a person to see traces of blood. It also enables a person to see traces of urine so it’s perfect for finding those hidden places where […]
All of my older kids are lacking in summer clothes, so we’ve been frequenting our favorite clothing shops (Old Navy and Target) for some cheap replenishment. I’m flummoxed and perplexed by the huge number of muscle shirts available for boys. Who is buying them? These have always seemed the height of white trashiness (do they […]
