Out of the Mouths of Babes…
Drama Queen: “…God, help us to eat lots of fruits and vegetables cuz they’re good for us, and help us not to eat junk food and stuff…”

Today we joined a group of homeschoolers for a field trip to the firehouse. And I didn’t take my camera – what was I thinking?
The firemen showed us a fire rescue truck, a water truck, and an ambulance. The kids enjoyed learning about each truck but especially the ambulance. As soon as they were done [...]
Come Shoot The Breeze With Me
Hey, all, how’s the weather? It’s quite nice here – except that it’s allergy season. Achoo!
We had a lovely visit with my parents over the weekend. I can’t believe my mom drove that far to come get us and then bring us back. Ella está loca en la cabeza. O el corazón. Cualquiera. 
But [...]
Tackle It Tuesday – Traveling and Unpacking
Today we leave and head back to our own house. We’ve had a good visit and I’ve enjoyed spending time with my parents.
My tackle for today is two-fold:
Pack everything and leave nothing behind (ya know that always happens.)
Un-pack everything as soon as we get home. Most of the clothes have already been washed so that’ll [...]
Off To Grandma’s House We Go
Yesterday, my mom drove four hours to pick up my three children and me and take us back to her house for the next four days.
Doesn’t she love me??
Not only will we be joining her for Easter Sunday, but we’ll also be celebrating Drama Queens FIFTH birthday on Monday, before returning home Tuesday. [...]
WFMW – A Tip for Tea Stains on Dishes
I now know that when my plastic pitcher gets tea stained that it is not necessary to soak it in bleach water for 30 minutes or more to get it clean again.
You may have already known…now I do, too.
All I have to do is spritz the stains with my homemade bleach spray, let it sit [...]
Tackle It Tuesday – Stocking Up
Lately I’ve been attempting to slowly build up an overstock supply of foods in our pantry and freezer by buying a few extra things during each shopping trip, especially when things are on sale. We’ve never had this before, I always buy food for each week and we never have any extra. The downside is [...]

Getting Fit #6
No, I haven’t abandoned my quest for fitness and a healthier lifestyle, I just haven’t carved out time to blog about it, but I’ve lost a total of nine pounds so far and I’m sticking to my healthy eating habits – except for last week which was chalk-full of goodies. But hey, everyone needs some [...]

Works For Me: Ronzoni Pasta
With our recent switch to healthier meals with healthier ingredients, I’ve been on the lookout for some better pasta (because, well, we eat quite a bit.)
I’ve tried a few, and there are several good ones.. but let me tell you why I like Ronzoni Healthy Harvest and Ronzoni SmartTaste the best:

Clearly I Need To Keep The Extinguisher Handy…
Earlier this week, my son, my cute, sweet, innocent little son, through no devious mischief but merely through curiosity and normal play, twice tried to become a teeny little arsonist – all in the same day.
It began that morning, when he was playing with Princess’ play guitar (which broke a string just the day before, [...]
“Pumpin Up The Party Now!”
Howdy! It’s time for the Ultimate Blog Party – a party where our assignment is to “throw a party that showcases your blog and your style.” So that’s just what I’ll do. Oh! But there’s a twist.
About a year and four months ago, I created this blog and I have used an alias since day [...]

Here’s a little bit about what’s been going [...]
It’s Time to Par-Tay!
Yes, the Ultimate Blog Party (Version 2.0) has finally arrived! I had fun last year, and am looking forward to the party this year as well. What, you haven’t heard about it? You, in the back, you don’t know about the Ultimate Blog Party, the one over at 5 Minutes for Mom? [...]
