Whatcha Might Not Know…My Other Blogs

Blog Challenge Day 13 – Goals It’s funny that this one happened when it did.  See June & Bear posted her 20 by 20 on Monday.  So that had me thinking goals already!  I actually got out a nice clean sheet of white paper and started my own 20 by 20 – what a great

10K Tuesday – Green B.E.A.N. Delivery

Blog Challenge Day 12: What do you believe? I started to write a long philosophical post about believing in everything happening for a reason (which drives Andy bananas) or something about questioning what I believe in as far as being Catholic, blah blah blah and then remembered IT’S 10K TUESDAY!  So this is much easier

Thank Goodness for the DVRs

Blog Challenge Day 11: What are your favorite TV shows? (Yes, I skipped Day 10: What are you afraid of?  I have 3 kids aged 3, 2, & 7 months… momma isn’t afraid of much.) We DVR everything.  Sadly, we have 4 TVs and 2 DVRs.  But I really do think we do a good

Whatcha Might Not Know…Hot Dogs!

When Spring arrives, the itch to grill-out gets out of control for me.  I love being outdoors.  And nothing makes me happier than spending an afternoon on our backyard patio, watching the kids run through the yard, and smelling grilled food!  I’ll eat a burger, but that’s not my first choice.  I would much prefer
