I am SO excited. SO SO SO SO SO excited. In a little over a week my family and I are going on a vacation, and not just any vacation. We are going on a Carnival Cruise!!! My husband and I have always dreamed of going on a cruise and somehow, it just never happened….
In case you haven’t heard yet, the wonderful Tricia, from Once A Month Mom and I are collaborating on a project for October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. The past two years, I’ve hosted Blogging for Boobs, where people have donated items for giveaways, I donated all my ad revenue, hosted a donation…
It’s a mere blip and an eternity. Four years ago, right now.. 11:04 PM September 19th, 2006 I was flirting with sleep. We admitted ourselves (me) to the L&D unit to be induced. Pitocin on board, I sent your dad to Wendy’s because I was starvin’ and that sounded sooo good. (silly me, I assumed…
Staples (click here for the story) Little Miss Muffet’s Nemesis Monkey’s Custom Birthday Cake (made by a friend) to match his Tiny Prints Invitation Between the fireplace vs head experience and Monkey’s birthday party today, I’m wiped. I took more pics from his birthday with the lens of awesomeness that I rented from The Lens…
I feel as if I’ve written this post before. OH because I HAVE, just with a different child. This afternoon I was on the phone with a friend talking about kids, photography, football, breast cancer… you know, the normal stuff when I hear: “THWACKTHUDCRASH” followed by the scream. If you’re really lucky, you’ll never hear…
I love Lotus. I have mentioned this many. many. many times. I think that the impossible has happened. Someone check and see if Hell has frozen over because honestly, I didn’t think I could adore Lotus more, and yet now, I do. Look what she has created for the Saving Second Base Project: I love…
I love school. I love back to school. Both as a child and now as a parent, school holds beautiful memories and the promise of hope and possibilities. My mom was an elementary school teacher so I have a unique insiders perspective because I grew up inside the schools. From mid August to early June…
The past two Octobers I’ve hosted a monthly posting of stories and letters from people who’ve been affected by Breast Cancer called Blogging For Boobs (I highly recommend clicking that and reading through the posts, they’re simply amazing) I was sitting thinking about how to make my 3rd year of Blogging for Boobs even better,…
Caramelized Onions, cayenne and black peppers, butter, mayonnaise, sour cream and cream cheese combine to make a slightly spicy, creamy, savory totally tonguegasmic dip that really and truly tastes just like that fried onion blossom that you dip in that slightly spicy creamy dip, you get in restaurants. This dip is one of the appetizers…

This is the grilled steak and grilled asparagus that I made for Sarah and her husband when they came over last weekend. It was crazy good. CRAZY good, do you hear me? Tonguegasmic even. However, that might be one of the worst food pics that I’ve ever taken so I’m thinking I need to make…
This isn’t something I do. I don’t call people out. I don’t disparage others. However. How-freaking-ever. How. DARE. YOU. It’s one thing to bastardize a recipe, to snag a pic of mine and pretend you took it. To use it in a post without giving proper credit… I can overlook that, offer correction, suggestions, guidance,…
