Snacks and goodies and treats! Oh, my!!

Today we were supposed to be hosting a late family Christmas celebration at our house.
But, leave it to Mother Nature to change the plans - freezing rain anyone??? Everyone was traveling at least an hour to get to our house and with the bad weather, who can blame them, they are all […]

Red Bull …mmm… energy :)

I have to admit you y’all that I do love Red Bull, Rock Star, Tab Energy… you name ‘em, I like ‘em
Funny thing is, I don’t drink pop - only very rarely if I am visiting someone and that’s what they offer me. I’m a big organic green tea drinker (pot a […]

Help. Naturally :)

Today I popped by Tiffany’s blog and found some really interesting reads. Her blog has great topics that include natural ways to deal with insomnia and stress relief and, most recently, a natural way to feel more energetic. Pop by her Natural Moms Blog and see if you don’t learn a thing or […]

Great gift from my Hubby :)

Last year i lost 20 pounds with Jenny Craig. I’ve kept it off since then but have been ITCHING to join again so i can lose the last 10 or 15. I’ve tried doing it myself and i can but it is slow going. Jenny Craig is what i call “idiot proof […]

Men really must be from Mars

So little Jenny’s band-aided toe was fine all day - Yay! I was feeling pretty good that she didn’t need stitches after all when all - phew!!
Then I hear her little voice from the downstairs basement telling me “Mom??? My band-aid is coming off”. I respond with a “stop playing with it […]

Hippity, Hoppity, OUCH!

Last night after dunking the kiddos for bathtime, I decided to just let them dry themselves off and get jammies on. They’re 5 and 7 after all and for some reason they love doing it themselves (and who am I to disappoint them?? ).
Anyway, I’m standing in the hallway chatting with Dear […]

Oh Gee My Kids Have Head Lice… I Guess I’ll Send Them To School

This was to be the year of showers for Matthew and bathtime bonding for Jenny and I. “What is it instead?” you ask. It’s the year of double baths and “because lice hate it” tea tree oil shampoo. “Why is that?” you ask (and thanks for asking again Hon.). Because every other […]

Be Gone Foul Roll!

Okay, maybe that’s a bit harsh but I want a bikini-tummy darn it!
I’ll be on the weight loss band wagon with millions of others this season. Call it a new Year’s Resolution to lose weight or just a need to be fit and healthy (which still means losing weight anyway LOL). Either way, […]

Hey Mom! Like My Hohawk???

Just when i thought that the joyous stage of “getting words mixed up” was over and done for us, Matt came up with “hohawk”
He’s decided to grow his hair long like a rock star you see, so keeping it tidy is gradually becoming not-so-easy. Last night after his shower I decided to […]

I stayed up till midnight!!

Well, I’m not generally supportive of lying to my kids that’s for sure but we passed of a wee one last night.
Matt was determined to stay up until midnight with the grownups and had been telling us for days that he wasn’t settling for 11 or 10pm this time. So, at 1pm we pushed […]
