Snow is free and we’ve got a lot of it! Bringing snow into the house is a bit unconventional but the fun was priceless. Thrilling for the kids and truly not too messy for Mom. The kids had a blast stirring, shoveling, mixing, and sorting it into different sized bowls. (Note: Once we started throwing … Read more
Here’s my old gas cooktop. Probably about 13 years old (the age of our home). Replacing it was thrilling especially as I have this unnatural fear of gas. Some of my burners would become unlit during cleaning…. and for me relighting them was NOT an option. Too terrifying for me. Really. So I generally only … Read more

Young kids are so very impressionable. And since great dental hygiene starts when the kids are young it’s a good thing we visit the dentist – as I’ve … Read more
At the very start of our trip to Florida two weeks ago, we made a cherished visit to my Great Aunt Kay. She’ll be 93 on June 21, 2010 as she was born in 1917. She’s basically the “matriarch” of our family as my Mother’s Mom died of Lupus when my Mom was only 8 … Read more
So we made our biggest eBay purchase ever with the new car my Mike just bought. Here’s his shiny new vehicle that after much worry from me – finally arrived. The Mercedes CLS500. Mike’s choice. Mom would have preferred the Mercedes GLK – bigger for the family. While Kenzie is still pining desperately for … Read more
I think this is my favorite pic of my kids ever. (And I’ve got one just like it from last year too!) The charming Pooh’s playground is probably my kids favorite attraction in all of Walt Disney World. Zero lines and plenty of room for the kids to expend energy running around. It’s located just … Read more
