It's not what you think, my Advent challenge, because I have shamelessly lured you into this post with what appears to be a very cozy photo. My two little men cuddled up together...in Momma's recliner...perusing a book on the saints, perhaps? No. Let me forewarn you, dear friend of the heart. The internet is not what it appears to be! In … [Read more...]
Stories on a Sunday
I have exactly one hour before I meet my friend Tracy for pizza. (I love meeting Tracy! Especially when she offers to treat.☺) That means, however, this must be quick quick quick, like one of those stream-of-consciousness exercises you do in high school English. One of our back-to-back birthday girls with her requested Lethel Chocolate … [Read more...]
An Attitude of Gratitude
Granted, my Facebook greeting yesterday had just a touch of Debbie Downer: "Shedding tears of both gratitude and guilt! Who am I to have so much?" Hey, that Debbie girl has a point sometimes. I'm just sayin'. Now pass the cheesecake. It is true that on Wednesday night, at nearly midnight, as I wrapped discs of pie dough to bake the next … [Read more...]
Netflix in November: What I’m Watching, with Whom, and Why
As part of the Netflix #StreamTeam, I'll be doing a monthly post highlighting certain themes and movies from their service. In exchange for these posts, I received a year's membership to Netflix and a streaming device, but the opinions expressed are entirely my own! So be warned. : ) My family's got a big weekend coming up—back-to-back birthdays … [Read more...]
In which I inadvertantly dye my hair black and attend a Garth Brooks concert
...We interrupt this blog's normal High Brow Reporting with a completely ridiculous and irrelevant post... Last Friday night started out normally. Well, "normally" for me, anyway, in that I was getting ready to go out with friends and was using that as an excuse to color my hair. (These days I need a good excuse because coloring my hair … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday: Organ Meats, Orange Peels and an Ordered Life
If you stop by my weekly menu, you'll see that I'm making adjustments as we go. For example, originally I'd thought that tomorrow (November 13th) was the Feast of St. Josephat. Silly me! It's today, which means that we'll have to honor him tomorrow with those Polish pierogies 'cause I'm not ready to make them tonight. Sorry, Mother Cabrini. … [Read more...]
Ask the Allergist
This is a follow-up to last week's post with the results from our visit to the allergist. Cate and I were vastly relieved to find out that she is not allergic to either wheat or dairy. She is, however, allergic to soy, which as we have recently discovered, is found in pretty much everything but water. (not really) (it just seems like … [Read more...]
New for Me: A Weekly Menu
Trying something new & improved: planning out a weekly menu! Fingers crossed; it's Monday and I'm feeling optimistic. I was inspired by the ever-awesome Mary Ellen, to whose blog I'm linking and to whom I owe whatever accountability I do or do not have. Monday, November 10th Breakfast: Hot Cereal Lunch: PB & J … [Read more...]
Eczema Faq for the Asking (and a Cute Photo)
First off, a great big THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to comment yesterday! If you haven't read their suggestions yet, I highly recommend stopping by to do so. Cate and I are going to see the allergist this afternoon and, fingers crossed, I have very high hopes that he'll solve all our problems. (including, but not limited to, the fruit … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday: a Whole30 Fail, a Homeschool Win, and a Truly Desperate Plea for Counsel
Yes, well. About that {2nd} Whole30 venture... I don't know what to tell you. One minute I was fine and the next minute, I'd fallen. Literally! My will power lasted about one whole minute. When in doubt, blame the chocolate cupcakes. I don't know. Somehow it seemed easier when I did it this summer. Back then I had more … [Read more...]
