So you can blame all that Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese, but I'm starting another Whole30 tomorrow. Do you want to join me? You can read about the "rules" of the program here, or you can review the recap of my first Whole30 here. It's hard but it's worth it! It's so, so worth it. … [Read more...]
In case you missed it…
...and you probably did, because my segment ran a half hour early... Here's the video from this morning's show: (I'm the really short one.) And here's the recipe that I used! Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese INGREDIENTS 2/3 lb elbow macaroni (yield: 4 cups cooked) 1 1/4 cups whole milk 1 heaping TB all-purpose flour 1 TB … [Read more...]
In the News
No, I'm not going to talk about any scary virus. Rather, this is a reminder to please--please?--cover me in prayer this morning. I'm doing a segment on Fox 9 News, starting at 9:30, so that's the time that you gotta pray! (I guess if you want you can pray before or after, God being outside of time and all.) And just for fun, here's … [Read more...]
Wordy Thursday
(as opposed to, you know, Wordless Wednesday, 'cause I always got way too much to say) And yes, he was still wearing his jammies though it was almost lunch. Thank you VERY much for noticing. I took this photo shortly after an exchange with my teenager. It went something like this: "Can I get Netflix on my phone so that I can watch The … [Read more...]
On how NOT to be a Martyr to your Moods, and an Announcement
“Why are you so crabby all the time?” My daughter stared up at me, flushed and frustrated. Rock Art by Angela. Unfortunately I'm the one on the right. In her defense, I had been. Her words struck my heart with the force of an arrow. Yes, this daughter knows which buttons to push. Yes, she fights constantly with her brother and … [Read more...]
Stories from an Autumnal Hearth
Alternately Titled: I think that I shall never see... The glorious autumn is flying by. It always does, of course—and I'm always tempted to feel melancholic and wistful—but then I think about heaven where the leaves never fall! At least, I don't think they do... So, so many seasons of life. Of all of them, fall's my favorite. * * … [Read more...]
My Messy Life
"I love you, George!" "I love you too, Mommy." "Well, I love you all the way up to heaven!" {George, thinking.} "Well, I love you all the way up to heaven's ceiling!" A blurry picture but you get the point. Oh, to be a kid again! Yesterday, I said that 4-year-olds were awesome. Today, (and always), I'm thinking that 5-year-olds are … [Read more...]
Soccer Stories
The other day I was at the playground, (I tend to hang out at the playground a lot), this time with just my two little men. We were waiting for Jem (pictured below) to finish his soccer practice at an adjacent field. Francis was fussy 'cause he didn't want to go. Lots of soccer = lots of waiting. I figure, might as well get myself some … [Read more...]
Cuddle Bunnies
Hmm...I wonder what inspired the title of this post? Perhaps I should have called it "Bed Hogs." I took this photo in the middle of the night. My husband was in Indiana and had no idea I'd snuck the boys into our bed, which, strictly speaking, is against house rules. So don't tell him, okay? Because, like, I'm sure he didn't notice it when … [Read more...]
Roots & Wings & Other Things
It's started already so go ahead and be warned. Last night, as the kids were doing their various kitchen clean-up chores... Our dry erase board's a mess but it works. Note that we cycle the chores based on the day of the week, and that my kids are extremely fond of butter. The high school senior starting fighting with the 4th grader. He … [Read more...]
