I yelled upstairs to Joy and told her to quiet down. “What? Mom? Say again because I think you say blah blah blah!” This post it linked to Mud Pies for Mommy.
Newlywed Cooking Lessons
When we were first married, I set out to be the perfect wife. Only my new husband’s definition of the perfect wife and mine were immensely different. So for several months, okay years, I labored on my own mission and he set out to tell me how he wanted me to be. Fun, fun, fun!… [continue reading]
Practicing Our Letters in…Salt?
“Mom!” Joy screamed, “Look what Jason Jr is doing!” I went running. He had emptied my whole carton of salt all over the floor. I sighed and told myself there was no use crying over spilled salt. Well might as well make use of it! So I grabbed my kindergartner and told her, “Today we’re… [continue reading]
Curious Compliments
We got to go on a rare date last weekend because my sister called and invited the kids over. Over our nice, quiet, slow meal, we started talking about Facebook and the friends that I’ve been able to get in contact with these last few years. This reminded me of something I’ve been thinking about… [continue reading]
A Little Carried Away with My Veggie Tales Music
We had just taken the kids to Krispy Kreme, and maybe I was just a little high on sugar. I had the Veggie Tales Madame Blueberry song stuck in my head and sang happily on the way out to the car. While Jason was getting the kids in the car, I came to the end… [continue reading]

Bathroom Confusion
Jason and I are helping with the three-year-old Sunday School class on Sunday mornings. At bathroom time I take the boys’ bathroom while a different group takes the girls’ bathroom and each class sends all the kids two by two into the bathroom. It is my job to make sure that hands get washed and… [continue reading]
Sopa de Fideo (Mexican Alphabet Soup)
This is my kid’s absolute favorite dish. This is what they request even for their birthday meal. It’s Mexican comfort food. It was one of my favorites growing up and still is. I often get requests for the recipe. It has evolved somewhat over the years. This is how I make it now: 2 packages… [continue reading]
My Nebraska Dating Experience
The adventures from my first year in Nebraska after I had graduated college seemed to prove to me what I thought I already knew from past experience. First, that all men from Nebraska are strange, and second, I would never marry anyone from Nebraska–I actually said that! I was “stood up” for the first time ever. … [continue reading]
The Sunday School Lesson from Hell
Several years ago, after I had been attending a church for a while, the pastor’s wife was going to be gone and asked me to take her Sunday School class of three-year-olds. I readily agreed. She gave me all the material and told me that the lesson plan was all laid out for me. The… [continue reading]
