My preschooler asks me what we are doing today for fun. I answer “Its a stay at home day.” His face instantly lights up! Wow- that was easy.
I realize, that hanging out at home is something he needs to do. He is enrolled in a half-day preschool three days a week. This gives us two […]
- Treats for You, Him and Them!
The Rescue Meal
The 15 minute dinner is a definite Mommy Treat. There are some days where everything seems to go awry. You know what I mean? Hectic afternoons following an over scheduled day requires that you pull out what I call the Rescue Meal. Rescue Meals are dinners you can whip out in a snap that. and here is the catch: EVERYONE ...iPod Shopping - Is There A Better Way?
Strolling through the mall taking a break from it all is one thing... but shopping with my iPod is another. Do yourself a favor and don't leave home for a mall shopping trip without your iPod.

At this point, you’re probably thinking I’m an iPod junkie. Yep.
But that little thing can help you out of a lot of tight, nerve-racking spots. Take for instance the post-Christmas house cleanup.
I have no idea where to begin cleaning this mess but that doesn’t really matter. If I strap my iPod on just like I’m […]
I’ve been burning yeast rolls for 25 years. When I don’t burn them, they don’t rise or they turn out too hard. Whatever happens, they’re never right.
My assignment for Christmas dinner, among a few other things, was rolls. Here we go… showtime.
I thought to myself, “I’m not a quitter, I’m a roll makin’ mommy. Let’s […]
Don’t we have enough going on already? If your family celebrates like mine does, you might have a few gifts that you open on Christmas Eve but for the most part, the real deal is on Christmas morning with the kids going nuts. The big dinner comes on Christmas night.
If that’s the way you do […]
I’m so excited about my Christmas shopping this year because of the “Scrip”. Scrip is great- basically you can purchase gift certificates from a variety of restaurants, retail stores, grocery stores, gas stations and just about any other business willing to place their name on the list.
