A Diaper Disaster

Tweet I remember like it was yesterday… It was a particularly rough day. Noah was a wee baby and I was tired. I could not find my 6-year-old twins anywhere. I searched and searched, calling their names as I ran through the house. Noah woke up and began screaming and still I could find Ethan [...]

Kraft 1/3 Less Challenge Results

Tweet It’s been two months since I presented you with my Kraft 1/3 Less Challenge. That’s a whole month later than I had anticipated to choose the winner of the challenge.

Flank Steak with Lime and Cilantro Marinade

For The Classy Businessman

My Boys

Tweet Playing. Jumping. Running. Making swords and guns out of sticks. Defying gravity. Sparring. Wrestling. Climbing. Digging. Building. Imagining. Creating. I can hardly keep up with my boys. I don’t want to, really. After all, they are little men. They are soldiers in training. Little warriors. They will someday be husbands. Knights willing to rescue [...]

Free Bowling For Kids {More Locations}

Tweet I recently told you about a program where kids can bowl for free. Remember? Well, what I noticed was that there wasn’t a great selection of local bowling centers. In fact, the closest was about 40 minutes away. Not too bad for a single outing this summer, but we certainly wouldn’t be able to [...]

My Sweet Baby Boy

Tweet Timmy has been sick. For three weeks he’s been miserable. First teething. Then the flu. And now, he has pneumonia. My poor baby has had a rough time. And his mama’s heart aches to see him so miserable.
