Today I feel like crap. Sorry if that word bothers you...but that's how I feel.I went on Friday afternoon to get coffee with friends and it was great. What was not great was laughing so hard that i snorted hot cider into my sinus cavity, somehow snorted it back down my throat, and then back up and down again once more, all the while trying not to spew now … [Read more...]
Bigger fish to fry….Kitchen dreams
I'm in love. With THIS...Oh sigh....one day maybe.But not today. Today, I will go on an outing somewhere beautiful with my family since Little Bit is feeling rotten from antibiotics (and probably more-so from the awful diaper rash that's ravaging his bottom) and he doesn't need to spend the morning sick and miserable in the nursery at church. Today I will … [Read more...]
What’s for Dinner?! In 1947….
Oh friends,My mother just called me laughing so hard she was crying...and then when she finally was able to breathe clearly enough to tell me why, I joined her and it started all over again.My dad is kind of a pack rat. His dad was even worse! So for the past year or so, my dad, uncle, and aunt have been sorting through books and magazines that their father had … [Read more...]
Will you be my Valentine…if i give you Sugar Cookies?
One of you gals asked me to do a post on Valentine's for kids classes at school. I figured I'd show you a picture of the materials we've gathered and give you a quick run-down of our ideas.Below, i pictured a bunch of scrapbook paper that i picked up for $3 at Hobby Lobby today. I'm drawing some hearts on the back and letting my 4 year-old cut them all out. It … [Read more...]
What’s for Dinner?! Shrimp and Grits…
I know you've all been waiting for this...and I'm sorry to make you wait ALL DAY long, but you weren't going to make it for dinner tonight anyways because you probably didn't already have all the ingredients. (And if you did, then you should know that I've just carved out a place for a shrine in your honor in my own well stocked pantry.) So here it is....No wait. First I have … [Read more...]
Secrets of a Great Illusionist….the junk drawer!
I am always flattered when someone asks how I "do it all." If only they knew that...GASP...I don't. Not even close! Heaven knows I don't, and you should know too! And when it seems like maybe I have, it's only that I haven't done it all at once. I must be a good illusionist on occasion...just call me David Copperfield!So, tonight we're having a really … [Read more...]

Food for Thought: Chains….

Anyways, last night was our first meeting. And it was GOOD!It's been awhile since I've read or done anything that made me feel almost overwhelmed with information. Like, last night, i had a … [Read more...]
There’s just something about a sister!
I have to tell you...i just got off the phone with my sister. Some days we don't like each other very much and some days, there's really noone else that i can laugh with so hard. When we talk to one another, we talk too loud. Her husband says it makes him so crazy that he wants to just stick his fingers in his ears. Turns out, mine feels the same … [Read more...]

As promised earlier...recipe for Brunswick Stew!

How to… Properly Cut an Onion
Several years back, the Hubs and I watched a whole season of The Amazing Race on TV. One episode they were in Jamaica and the challenge they had to get through was to dice a 50lb bag of onions. If we had been on the Amazing Race that day, we would have DOMINATED! It was then and there i realized that the majority of the world must not know how to properly dice an onion. So … [Read more...]
Little Bit is ONE! A Very Hungry Caterpillar indeed…
