This Happen To You Much?
Every parent’s dream and nightmare. LONG car ride back home. Cranky kids. They FINALLY fall asleep. And now you and/or your spouse are about to pee your pants. And you are both starving. But there’s no way you are going to stop the car. Right?
Happy Father’s Day
Today was an unusual Father’s Day, because I actually got to spend most of it with my dad, who is rarely in town on Father’s Day. So I hosted a Father’s Day/Stella’s Birthday cookout for our family. It was a really nice time and lots of yummy food. Including these red potatoes. Here’s the easy
One of my favorite things to do on a weekend afternoon is to sit on our patio, under our umbrella and look towards the very back of our yard. Look closely. The kids call this section of the yard, “our island”. And it is here that they look for creatures. For roly-poly bugs and worms
Someday I’ll Miss This…
Someday the kids will grow up and move out along with their shoes and I’ll miss this (or so I’m told). But for now? I’m tripping over all the different pairs constantly in our mudroom.

How Much Water Do You Drink?
I am normally pretty healthy and tend to be able to eat more sweets than I should without adding on too many extra pounds. One thing I attribute this to is all of the water I drink each day. Well, it should probably say “while at work”, because I always have more trouble remembering to
What Do You Spend on Wedding Gifts?
Wedding season is upon us. Today I’m in an all-day work conference and saw this snapshot in the USA Today. Holy hell I’m cheap. Readers who are friends and family…and if I attended your wedding…and bought you a gift… Wow! I really do consider you a close friend or family member even if I didn’t
