We are having a cookie exchange tomorrow at our home school co-op. I decided that would be a good opportunity to make cake. You know. Since there might be a lot of cookies already. OK. I might as well tell the truth. I LOVE CAKE BALLS. This is my fourth attempt at making cake balls,…
I’m addicted. Or should I say, I’m stuck? I will admit it. I’m not ashamed. I’ve gone crazy over duct tape. After I made that bag on Sunday, I decided I should try my hand at weaving duct tape. I remembered reading this post over on Jenny’s blog. By accident, I ended up making my…
A friend I haven’t talked to in a while sent me an e-mail recently. “You are so busy,” she said. I asked another friend how she had been doing lately, and she responded with one word: “Busy.” It’s no secret that we are a generation that seems busier than ever before. And yet, I cringe…
Or maybe I should say, “Just duct-y.” I’m not sure what’s proper anymore. All I can tell you is this post is going to be covered in duck tape… er, duct tape. Last summer, I was sitting around being pregnant when I read this awesome blog post by my make-believe, bloggy friend, Jenny. “What?!” I…
Our baby is 1 today. I can’t believe it. I can’t believe what a sweet blessing this year has been. This first year has been so full of challenges, excitement, joy, laughter and even total entertainment since she joined our family. She has been such a gift in so many ways. From that moment on…

I really need some new everyday dishes. The ones we have are at least a million years old. But we have kept using them because it really doesn’t matter when someone drops one on the floor and it shatters. And with four kids, you can be sure they will be dropped. All of the bowls…
Oh, man. I might have to change the name of my blog. I started this blog a few years ago after I started publishing my own planner for moms. This year, with all the craziness of my new job, a new baby and home school, I haven’t had time to create my planner for 2011….
Since CapableDad’s family was together today, we had an early birthday celebration for our almost 1-year-old. We were happy to see she isn’t shy about eating cupcakes. She stuck her finger in the chocolate frosting and licked her finger. Immediately, her face lit up with a big smile. She grabbed big handfuls and stuffed them…
I love Thanksgiving. It’s the one holiday where there is no expectation to really do anything. Except eat. And taking a nap is totally acceptable. In between eating and napping, one can rest. And then, of course, there’s always the option of sitting around and doing nothing. I’m so thankful for the time spent with…
