They sent me a big box of mystery goodies and challenged me to get creative.  Here’s what they sent me: I got some great […]

A cute St. Patrick’s Day craft with Amanda from Craft Gossip.

March 12, 2012 4 Comments

You guys, can I just tell you that I do not know if my heart can take much more of this stress!!!   Two weeks ago the doctors told my ex-husband that he had mere days left.  I pulled Conner out of school and rushed him and Devin to their dad’s bedside.  Mike is hanging […]

The proper way to go Dumpster Diving. Seriously.

March 9, 2012 6 Comments

Hi all, as I still deal with family issues (no change at the moment, for those of you following….) I have friends stopping by and guest posting as I try to keep things together on the home front.   Yesterday I introduced you Jennifer, to one of my roommates at the upcoming SNAP! Conference.  Today […]

What’s been your most meaningful moment during the past year?

February 28, 2012 Leave a Comment

I’ve been asked what has been my most meaningful moment over the past year, I have to admit that I was a little stumped.  I mean, I’ve experienced lots of moments that have been meaningful… but to pick just one? Should I pick Devin’s graduation day? That’s a big day, right?  My first born graduating […]

Share the wealth.

Last week on Valentine’s Day, Grant’s class had a party.  He came home from school with a bag full of cards and candy, and also with his best buddy, Jake, who was going to play for a while after school. He asked if he could have a piece of his candy, and also asked if […]

Time to shop for wheat grass…

February 21, 2012 8 Comments

Wheat grass… I know you can grow it, but I think it’s faster and easier to buy it. These were my thoughts on wheat grass last year….  I haven’t gotten more time in my schedule, so I am on the lookout for a cute container or two and wheat grass in the produce department.   […]

Clean your coffee maker using vinegar.

February 16, 2012 24 Comments

Clean your coffee maker using vinegar. Yesterday it dawned on me that I don’t clean my coffee maker as often as I should.  Without a good cleaning every now and again, your coffee maker won’t operate efficiently and you just aren’t going to get the best cup of joe that you can. You don’t need […]

Have a nuclear Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2012 10 Comments

Grant has been drawing lots of little Valentines for me.  Lots and lots of drawings.   To mix it up a bit, he has begun making heart shapes around the house for me.  Sometimes they’re out of Legos, sometimes out of blocks or Crayons. He often will arrange the heart shape while I watch.  That was […]
