I can’t believe I missed posting for a couple of weeks? I’d ask where the time went, but I know exactly where it went…after the Princess got better she went back to school and…got sick again! And then when she got better she went back to school and …got head lice (more coming up on…
A Truly Terrible Problem
Picture courtesy of William Sutherland I have lived through two blizzards in my lifetime. Both were in Pennsylvania and I thought both were super exciting! The first one was in 1993 and when I heard we were having a blizzard I was convinced that it would be as bad as the blizzards I had read…
Menu Plan Monday, April 14th!
I completely missed posting a menu plan last week as we were all sick. We mostly ate a BRAT diet–Bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Lots and lots of toast. The poor Princess is still coughing and yucky, but at least I’m back to cooking! I got better before the others and I can definitely say…
May I Introduce: My Brain
Running a household, taking care of a Princess and a house can get confusing. If I don’t make lists I can easily get overwhelmed and just sit around staring into space forgetting important things I need to get done. So when I saw an idea to use a notebook as a running list I immediately…
Menu Plan Monday, March 31st!
So, last week was Spring Break. I think I spent the whole week thinking up things to use up excess energy the Princess always has so that she would SLEEP. I do so hate fighting about sleep when everyone is tired. Good news: I succeeded to a point! I wore myself out in the process…
Portobello Steak
I used to love steak. It doesn’t really bother me when others around me eat it as long as I have some that I think is just as tasty! This week I revamped my husband’s steak marinade and used it with some Portobello mushrooms. I thought they turned out lovely! Portobello Steaks 2 Large…
Things That I Collect!
Have you ever noticed that once you tell people that you like a certain thing, you suddenly have a large collection without even trying? I’m not sure if I only mentioned to one person that I liked elephants or if it was several people, but suddenly it was the stuffed animal of choice for birthdays…
Simple Sugar Free Blueberry Syrup
I love breakfast foods of all sorts. The problems I run into with waffles and pancakes is that I get bored of maple syrup quite easily. The other week I remembered this simple syrup that my mom used to make for pancakes and waffles when we had breakfast for dinner. It has a lovely taste…
The Unexpected Dog
Oh Wu…even though you were never “my” dog, you never left any doubt in my mind that I was one of your people that you loved and took care of. I will never forget your playful spirit, your zest for life, or your little flag tail chasing leaves bigger than you were! You were the…
Menu Plan Monday, March 17th!
I was so delighted that the Princess drank the Pink Panther Smoothie and said, “Mommy that was yum yum in my tum tum tum,” and asked for it again the next day! She’s also started eating breakfast cookies again. I am so thrilled she’s eating something besides cereal that’s portable which we certainly needed adjusting…
