Posted in Bits and Pieces, Pregnancy and Babies on January 8, 2007 | 1 Comment »

First off, let me answer the “Question of the Day.”  No, I have not had this baby yet. 
Ok, now that we’ve got that out of the way…I think it is time to get the name situation straightened out.  For the purposes of this blog, I’ve been calling my youngest, Baby.  However, any day now (hopefully), [...]

Ah, comfort food.  Holiday recipes.  Traditional meals.  I love this time a year when all the favorites, the tried-and-true, and the nostalgic food is being served.  Of course, it isn’t great for the waist-line, but then this year I don’t have to worry about that, since our soon-to-arrive blessing gives me an excellent excuse to [...]

Oh, Forget It…

I just typed a really long, carefully-worded post on my reflections over the past few months since putting Bud on medication for ADHD, and when I tried to post it, only half showed up.  So, I am mad at the computer.  I just wasted an hour of precious free time on a Saturday while DH [...]

I have [...]

Well, this week has been rough.  Particularly the last day or so.  We are struggling through a schedule change with DH’s work, we are having a very difficult week with Bud, and overall we’ve just been cranky and tired.  But, there are always moments of joy.  Sometimes we just have to look harder to find [...]

I know it isn’t “pumpkin” time, but I love this recipe year round.  My kids ask for these regularly for breakfast… though with our push for morning protein, I don’t often make them.  Tonight, though, I was feeling generous.  The kids will be thrilled when they wake.

Hard News to Take

Posted in Bits and Pieces on June 28, 2006 | 1 Comment »

Sometimes a phone call brings happy news–of babies expected or babies born, of scholarships won or tests passed, of engagements and weddings, holiday greetings, and job promotions.  But sometimes, a phone call delivers more troubling news.  So when my sister called to tell me this afternoon, I could tell by her voice that the news she [...]
