So here in Cincinnati, we love our ice cream. And we have LOTS of local choices, regional choices, and even “regular” grocery store choices. The hubby LOVES ice cream. And although we ate it as a child, I would generally rather have a cookie or a brownie growing up. Until I got married. Then his love
Yesterday was my day off and although we got a lot accomplished, (Stella’s 4-year vaccinations, Henry’s first eye appointment, Krogering, Costco, Slip ‘n Slide party with the neighbor, etc.) that meant that TODAY was my Monday back in corporate. Argh. And it was a busy one…an 11-hour one. Double ARGH. So instead of having great
Not too long ago Stella and I ran to our local Target for two items…shown above. What? Don’t all moms write their “lists” in crayon? Anyway, as we entered, I remembered seeing a shirt I liked in the weekly ad so I detoured and grabbed one. Then I heard, “But mom, it’s not on the

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend. The girls and I went on a nice trip to Ft. Lauderdale to visit my dad. It was an interesting exhausting trip trying to keep up with the girls and everything they got into without Andy there to help along the way. (Don’t get me
A couple of holidays ago, I was able to score this awesome Bella Cucina Triple Buffet/Warming Tray at Macy’s on sale for $39.99 with an extra $10 rebate. This is worth every bit of $30 and probably even more. I’ve tried other chafing dishes and hated them – scalded the food, burned your hand touching
Tonight I’m up late packing. It’s going to be a weekend trip for me and my girls to visit my dad. A first for us…all of the girls. Stella and I have traveled together, but not with Charlotte. Should be interesting exhausting amusing. As I’m packing, I’m thinking of all the great “Girls-Only Trips” I
