Easy Summer Meal
It’s no secret that Teacher is the cook in our family – he likes to cook and really good at it – but when he’s gone it’s up to me to get us fed. My cooking may not be fancy, but it’s quick, easy, and usually yummy. The other night…

One in Eight
Let’s play a game! First we need a list. Women, start with yourself and add seven other women you’re really close to – friends or family members too. Men, list eight women you’re close to – mothers, wives, and daughters count. As you’re thinking of names, imagine their faces. …
My Favorite Things – Soap Dance
One of my favorite things is handcrafted soaps; I’m drawn in by the unique scents and colors you can’t buy in stores, and the all natural ingredients appeal to me too. Every time we went to the Farmer’s Market this summer I had a hard time resisting the soap vendors,…
Block Party – Good Old Fashioned Fun
Every year since I-don’t-know-when our block has a Block Party to coincide with National Night Out. This year was no exception. Our block parties have always been planned by two women who each have plenty of time on their hands and obscene amounts of energy to spare. They plan…
How to Remove a KAM Snap

End of Vacation – Going Home
I think our busy weekend in Grand Haven wore the kids out; Z-Man didn’t make it half an hour on the highway. Neither did Little Guy… Or Angel Face… Or Jo-Bear for that matter, but the photo of him was all blurry. I’m awake though! …
End of Vacation – the Final Hours
While we were window shopping downtown Angel Face had seen a shirt she wanted to get before we went home. After visiting the light house we headed downtown so she could get her shirt. After parking the first thing we saw was a Public Safety vehicle. Angel Face insisted…
End of Vacation – One Last Beach Walk
Our last day in Grand Haven arrived too quickly. We’d had a whirlwind weekend of favorite food, time at the beach, playing backyard games, and too much sugar, but sadly it was time to go home. Angel Face had wanted to walk to the famous Grand Haven light house…
Just Call me Chicken
I admit it – I’m chicken. Currently I’m running WordPress 2.9.something. I know I should upgrade, but I’m chicken. I really want to upgrade so I can use a really cool plugin called CommentLuv. I know you’d love it – it automatically places a link to your…
