Compromises {Recipe: Banana Blueberry Muffins}

September 1, 2011

I’ve discovered that with four kids, there is a lot of comprising that goes on during the day. It’d be too easy if all four of them would agree on something. Instead, it is always three wanting one thing while one wants something else. Even if it is just to annoy the others, there is [...]

Pumpkin Muffin Confessions (Recipe: Pumpkin Muffins)

October 19, 2010

Since I am in the mood for confessions, I wanted to share another one with you. First of all, I love Miracle Whip. That has nothing to do with the confession I am about to make…I just wanted to clear the air with that first. My favorite pumpkin muffin is derived from a cake mix. [...]

Would you like to know what happened to me while I was at church yesterday? I was sitting in mass when my 3 year old told me she needed to go potty. I took her back to the ladies restroom, she did her thing, I bent down to help her pull up her panties and [...]

Commitment Issues

September 11, 2008

This weekend, as I was cleaning out my bathroom cabinets, I came to the realization that I have some serious commitment issues. Not with relationships, not with work and not with family obligations.

Bad Guys & Apple Bars

When I was much younger, 6th or 7th grade,  I spent the night at my friend Ginny McReynolds house. It was a warm night and as we got into her bed I pulled the light blankets up over me, and then did as I often did and maneuvered myself so my feet stuck out at [...]

Table Talk – Food, Family, Love

July 14, 2008

Recently, I was asked what I was passionate about. What subject really got my engines revving? At the time, I mentioned that I had strong feelings about certain subjects, but could not think of any that I was extremely passionate about. Then, I knew just the thing… family meal time.

There was a time…

July 7, 2008

There was a time in my life when I used to buy all of my intimate apparel at Victoria’s Secret. I would not be caught dead without a matching bra and pantie ensemble on and that matching ensemble had to have the same colors in it as my outfit did. Even though people would not [...]
