We love fish and I make it often. Here is two thirds of a dinner. (You’ll have to figure out your third dish…) Glazed Salmon with Coconut Cilantro Rice. For the salmon: 4 boneless, skinless salmon filets 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce 1/4 cup hoisen sauce (also in the Asian foods aisle) juice from 1 key […]
Really? Why?
Grant: a) disapproves of the current furniture arrangement. b) is really cold and opted for couch cushions instead of a blanket. c) can’t leave a tidy room, well… tidy. d) There is no rhyme or reason to the things Grant does. You know the answer.
How I ended up with my Dream Man. (And I only had to wait 20 years.)
Gratitude. I don’t often lead with that. Beyond my rants, raves and the thick layer of sarcasm, I really am a girl who counts her blessings… both big and small. I’m grateful for my children and all the trials, tribulations and joys that come with parenting. On that note, I am also very, very grateful […]
Run Forest. Run.
Conner hit a milestone for Running Club. Why they give 6th grade boys anything that is white is beyond me… but good job buddy!
Maybe there is a butterfly rehab program.
It’s a beautiful day. It’s 5:00 and it’s 75 degrees with a barely perceptible breeze. Birds are chirping, bees are buzzing and butterflies are flitting about. Ah, spring. Lets spray paint something!! I dragged out several of my old frames and my trusty can of “Canyon Black” and began my ugly old frame transformation. As […]
Mom of the Year? Me? pffft. Not!
I need to get a parenting blunder off of my chest. There have been so many, but this is the one that truly bugs me the most. Chinese food and bad words: A few years ago we were all hurrying and scurrying around because the elementary school’s Open House was that evening. Knowing that the […]
Art from old wood and an old cow…?
~~~~ Updated July 2, 2009 for the Writer’s Workshop at Mama’s Losin’ It. The prompt is to show something I made. Here ya go.~~~~~ I am a compulsive picture frame buyer. I cannot help myself. I also buy matting, photo paper, and have so many digital photos stored that we needed to get a back-up […]
Favorite Exchange of the Day (but it’s still early.)
I just made Grant his breakfast of choice: wheat toast with grape jelly and a glass of milk. (And a napkin! You forgot my napkin, Mom!) As I placed these things in front of him, he smiled at me and said, “Thanks, Mom! I’m happy of ya and proud of ya!” Loosely translated, I think […]
Snow, Barf & Easter Eggs. Oh my.
A day or two late, our Easter summary. We did not have a traditional Easter Weekend this year. On Good Friday we went back up the hill for a weekend at the cabin (shower floors to cement in, pipes to be set, etc…) Lo and behold… snow. Just an inch or two, but I got […]
May I give you a little advice? No? I’m going to anyway.
Every Monday, Kasey at All That Is Good has a post called Friend Making Monday. The idea for today’s post is to list the best advice you have ever received. I don’t know that I’ve ever had an “ah-ha” moment where someone dispensed advice and I took it. You know, the kind of advice where […]
