Not as smart as you think you are

Bobby has been teething and was extra fussy. Finally, I sat down in the rocking chair with him and picked up the Wiimote. I found the Connect Four game. Hmm I used to like this when I was little. I didn’t think it would be too hard to play while I held the baby.

Sparkie Regatta 2012

I told you a little bit about the annual race last year.  This was to be my seven-year-old daughter Joy’s last boat race as next year she promotes to the next club.  She won first place the last two years.  I kept telling her that she might not win this year.  “But that’s what you . . . → Read More: Sparkie Regatta 2012

#Lysol Kitchen Challenge

Keeping the kitchen clean is a huge challenge for me. Even though my seven and ten year old daughters help, it seems that the kitchen is rarely completely clean and clutter free.

I was thrilled to be contacted to review the Lysol No-Touch Kitchen System! I excitedly found myself on their site taking the . . . → Read More: #Lysol Kitchen Challenge

God’s Gift

Sunday was crazy.  My five-year-old daughter Grace was singing in both services with the children’s choir so we had to be there at 8:15.  I understand the need to be there early, but boy is it tough to get this family ready and out by that time.  It was rush, rush, rush.  One child yelling . . . → Read More: God’s Gift

St. Patrick’s Day Menu

Here is the super simple meal I threw together for our St. Patrick’s Day Celebration!  I was so excited when I found shamrock shaped ravioli!  The package said it was imported from Ireland and assured me it was an Irish tradition, but aside from that I don’t think anything else was actually Irish, but green . . . → Read More: St. Patrick’s Day Menu

The Lorax Movie

Since St. Patrick’s Day was on a Saturday and Jason would be home all day I didn’t want to spend all day in the kitchen making three different meals like I did the year before.  We had a simple breakfast and then for lunch I splurged, using the money that we’ve earned blogging, and took . . . → Read More: The Lorax Movie

Our St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast

On the evening before St. Patrick’s Day I placed all the necessary items for a simple but festive breakfast on the table.  The next morning Bobby woke me up at six in the morning and wouldn’t go back to sleep.  Reluctantly I got up, but I was SO tired.  When he got sleepy again around . . . → Read More: Our St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast

From Tears to Smiles

Esther and I have become BlogFrog buddies, and I am delighted to be guest posting for her today!

Emmy was crying as if her little four-year-old heart was broken.

She ran to the window, waving at her Daddy and sister as they drove away early that morning. They were going skiing up in Wisconsin. . . . → Read More: From Tears to Smiles

Yellow Menu

I had a bright (pun intended) idea to have a yellow food menu to bring in spring!  I know I do crazy, silly things, but it’s FUN!  We brainstormed yellow foods that would be easy to throw together as it was going to be a busy day.  This is what we came up with:
