For moi?

A Christmas gift from my parents

Me likey!

Overheard at our house…

Last week the 3 older children had their school Christmas performance.  They worked awfully hard practicing the songs, Away in a Manger and Silent Night.  Like toy soldiers they marched down the aisle and took their places in stage.  It was a program similar to a lessons and carols service, so the songs were intermingled [...]

Dear Santa,
For three years now you have sent out the elves during the month of December to check in on the kiddies and update your Naughty/Nice file.  For three years you have randomly left them treats in the “elf basket” that sits nicely on our hearth.  For three years it has been a delightful and [...]

My Dream Home

Hmmm, what’s this?

Donald Trump would be proud.

By now you know this is a food blog

Right?
Ohhhh, I don’t mean that I post fantabulous recipes or anything.  I am just a girl who sits here and eats while I blog. 
So, in the spirit of sharing and all that, I had to let you in on a yummy recipe that I tried last week. I think I ate most of the pan [...]

I’m testing a theory

People often say that once you have three kids, you could have twelve and you wouldn’t notice a difference.
Really?
R is spending the night at grandma’s house tonight since the “older” kids have school Christmas parties and the like the next couple of days.  Granted he’s three and a wild man, but um, it’s been a good [...]

Checking it twice

We made the annual pilgrimage to visit Santa today.  Thankfully (and this cannot be over emphasized) we did NOT have to go to the mall.  Our neighborhood hires a Santa every year to come to the club house and pass out gifts to the kids.  It is easy and wonderful and the kids see the [...]

Sometime, Somewhere in This House ~ The Series

Time for another stroll down memory lane.
There is so, so much that I do not remember about the twins’ first year.  It was such a blur and a very stressful time for us.  Twins alone can be a LOT, but I had a not quite 2 year old (who was VERY rambunctious) and along about the third month [...]

Next stop, Juvy (that’s juvenile hall for you squares)

Do you see it?  I doubt that you need to look very closely or break out the bifocals since it is rather large.  I can only assume that my child is concerned that pirates are going to break into our home and plunder our kitchen table and our only recourse will be to hunt it [...]

Did Do

One of my Internets once told me about how she makes a “Did Do” list instead of a “To Do” one.  It helps you to feel like you have accomplished SOMETHING.  So, on a day where I feel like I wasted about 75% of my time, I am going to write down everything that I [...]
