Over the holidays I let my flickr stream get a bit messy and as a result I haven’t really showcased some pictures from various events. This is one of my favorite pictures from Christmas. It was the evening we had raclette (which was a substitute for our Christmas Eve tradition …

2010 has begun and the gals at I ♥ Faces are celebrating their first birthday! I missed last week’s challenge, but really hope to participating in more I ♥ Faces challenges this year.
This week, as they get their birthday celebration going, they ask for our “Best Face Photo” taken …
One of the highlights of my Christmas was the gift my guys gave me. Damon knew it was something I really, really, really, really wanted and it was probably going to be obvious when he gave it to me. So, he and Fuller worked together to make the actual giving …
Wednesday the stomach bug hit Damon. It had already been through my sons, so I guess it would seem natural to hit me as well. I guess I had blinders on because for some reason, on Wednesday, I was already looking forward to Thursday and spending a snow day with …
As is the case with my side of the family, Christmas get togethers mean group photos. Usually in clothing my mom picks out and buys for us. This year I was able to assist in the picking out of clothes and my sisters and I received cashmere sweaters! (I’ve wanted …
A few weekends ago, the corner of the blogosphere where I have set up camp was a flurry of activity based on one topic: Blogher09. It is a conference for bloggers, mostly women (but men can go too!), put together by the community over at Blogher.com. Blog posts pre-conference centered …
I’m spending this week trying to get cleaned up and organized to start school with Fuller on Monday. I still have a ways to go, but I think it is totally doable.
One of the areas I have to be diligent to stay organized in is meal prep, specifically breakfast …
Today is my mom’s 60th birthday. I feel badly that I can’t be there to help her celebrate this momentous occasion (momentous because it is a birthday that ends in 0) or bake her a cake. But she would say we shouldn’t eat the cake, so never mind. Instead, I …
So this week’s I ♥ Faces theme is Funny, Silly Faces. As I was gleaning my pictures from the weekend, this picture of my niece Genevieve made me giggle. First, it is just funny how messy an almost-two year old can get. Secondly, we just had a fun weekend with …
My sisters are in town and we are getting a lot of fun visiting in. It has the feel of a three day weekend, since the fun started on Friday and won’t let up until tomorrow afternoon. And I’m starting to get the cold Fuller passed on to Tebow, so …
Earlier this summer Damon emailed me a link to a movie trailer. It was for, Julie and Julia, a movie based on the book of the same name. He thought, since I was a blogger, I would know about it. Truth was, I had no idea about the blog or …
So, another meme I want to participate in. I usually miss the deadline to be included in the big link up, so I usually don’t post. It’s my own fault.
This week’s What Works For Me Wednesday has a theme: Back to School.
Since I’m not sending a child off …
Well, I feel compelled to post something in an attempt to get back into daily posting. I have my reasons.
In an effort to help, I decided to join in this meme that usually occurs on Tuesday (hence the name, right?). Today’s attempt is kind of lame, but actually, it …
I forgot something pretty important in my freezer cooking post yesterday… and it was a funny anecdote as well! So here goes…
When you are practicing the art of freezing food you must label everything. It helps if you label with the name of the food, date you made it, and …
The Moms Group I’m involved with usually has a theme during the summer months. This year we settled on “cooking.” Topics varied from quick cooking, preparing summer veggies, and our pantry staples. We had some great discussions and fellowship this summer, making our time together to be pretty memorable.
I …
