Our little Bug got to see his cardiologist this morning. The one Cricket pretends to be 99.9% of the time they play doctor. {Side note: he weighs between 27 and 29 pounds, depending which scale you plop him on, and he’s a whopping 33 inches long. At 15.5 months old. That’s our boy!} His doc has given us the go… Read More
I Ate A Kit Kat
{begin mindless fodder} There. I said it. I did it. I broke my sugar “boycott”. 70 days without sweets {minus my single, carefree anniversary cookie}, with about 30 more to go, and then this…a kit kat, in all it’s chocolate-coated-wafery goodness. I also haven’t shaved my legs for 2 weeks, just in case you wanted to know. {Sorry. You didn’t.}… Read More
Snot. Tissues. Benadryl. Repeat.
My precious hubby has blessed me with lots of opportunities to sleep a little more today. He rocks my world. The wee babes are not well, and I’m not feeling spectacular either. So, in honor of all the snotty tissues laying around, and the fact that the Benadryl has once again been dug out of our medicine cabinet, let us… Read More
The Glorious Morning of Muffins
Because I’m addicted to muffins I wanted you to really be able to visualize the magnificence that is the Morning Glory Muffin, I’m doing somewhat of a repeat post. Aren’t I so thoughtful? You don’t answer that. Really. I shared this {favorite} recipe in June, but for some unknown reason only had phone-camera photos to share with you, which fall… Read More
The Scoop
My hubby and I started the Love & War marriage series at church last night. We love being married. We love marriage. And we think everyone else should too. This book {and DVD series} is so good. You should read it. We then lost power late last night in a most magnificent display of lightning, thunder, wind and rain. Our… Read More

Weapons of Mass Consumption
It occurred to me the other day, while placing an zucchini apple spice muffin on the gun on the counter, that I had to… Wait… what? That’s weird? Well, I suppose I could have been considerate enough to put the muffin in a little baggie and stashed a little love note inside, but I was in a hurry and… Oh. … Read More
Health Rules!
For the latest on my 100 Days to Health, click here. And if you’ve joined the madness adventure…how the heck are you doing? Speaking of health… I gave a talk to about 400 ladies over a period of 2 days {during my lean & fit *BC years} at Youth Haven Ranch for their “Ladies Day” about how vital it is… Read More
This is Juicy
My daughter has been drinking… this substance of out-of-this-world nutritious deliciousness. And that is exactly what is in it: carrots, apples, a chunk of ginger. That’s it. I decided it was time to dig our beloved juicer out from the depths of the “moldy pile” we’d left it in when unpacking our stinking storage unit into our new garage. Here… Read More
My Sweet “t” on Day 2
I love behaving myself {in the sugar department, that is}. It just makes me feel more alive and in control {you know, of the miniscule parts of my life that I actually have control over}. Day 2 went well. Just 98 to go. Sheesh. Took the kiddos for a walk today. Tomorrow I’m breaking out my 6 pound hula hoop. … Read More
100 Days to Healthy
Are you ready for this? I so totally, completely and utterly am! 100 days, starting tomorrow and ending the day before Thanksgiving, without sugar, junk food, and countless cups of hot caffeinated bliss. Don’t get me wrong…there will be caffeinated bliss …just in moderation. But seeing I seem completely incapable of doing sugary foods in moderation, they’re getting chopped. Completely. … Read More
Houston, we have Culture!
Walking through Meijer yesterday I stopped at the yogurt aisle and spent a moment reveling at the fact that I might never need to pour money into that creamy, coagulated goodness again. The thought makes my purse smile. We shared a moment of silence as I bid farewell to the over-priced little cartons of activia and dannon, kicked up my… Read More
