The verdict on the strawberries? Wash ’em, cut ’em up, freeze ’em and put off deciding what to do with ’em until some other time. Whew. There’s a load off my mind. That was “this,” and now this is “that:” Apparently all of our mothers shopped at JC Penneys for sheets when we were kids, […]

Try not to panic
There’s been a terrible development in my kitchen. The box of Dr. Pepper? It’s empty. I peered inside, felt around with my hand, picked it up and shook it. Confirmed. We are all out of Dr. Pepper. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I’m going to try to soldier on, and finish this post without my fizzy brown companion, but […]

It must be spring. My thoughts have turned to nature and fabric. I’m thinking about dogwood blossoms, skirt-making, and cheery colors this week. The windows are open wide today, and I’m in my favorite living room chair, typing and enjoying the breeze in the hour I have left before preschool pickup. Sometime today I need […]

Good morning, friends. It’s a balmy 56 degrees here in New Jersey, and we’re looking forward to a day of thunder storms and circus-going (Neil‘s sister got tickets for the boys for their birthdays). The circus isn’t my first choice for entertainment, but it could be fun. You’ll probably be hearing all about it here […]

Aidan came home from school today, all smiles because he won a contest. We’re not big contest-winners around here, so it’s always so much fun when it actually happens. He guessed there were 290 jellybeans in the bowl at school. There were closer to 500, but his guess was the highest, and he won all […]

Wow, everybody, thanks for all of the support yesterday after I showed you my messy house. Neil wants to know how much I paid all of you to tell me “it’s ok.” Heh. I can take all of yesterday’s chatter to mean that most people have messy houses and I am perfectly normal -or- I […]

Aidan came home from school and informed me that there is, indeed, chick-clobbering in the game, although he’s pretty sure you’re not actually killing them. It’s more of a scooping them out of the way none-too-gently with a spoon kind of thing. I don’t know whether to be relieved that my four-year-old is not a […]

Carrie of Sommer Designs started a Dinner Challenge group on Flickr. The idea is to get out of the supper rut and give each other ideas for new meals to prepare. That’s a goal I can get behind. I recently started planing our meals a week at a time again, and giving each night […]

Ah, Friday. Here are some of my favorite photos this week. You can click on the mosaic to get individual photo credits. I came this close to buying the Heather Ross horses fabric in the green skirt on the bottom row, but I resisted. It’s not like I have a particular attachment to horses. I […]

I’ve spent all darn day doing food-related things. I even took my Project365 photo while food shopping. I was up late last night coming up with a menu for the week – one that consisted of some new things, some healthy things, and some easy things. Lately I’ve been taking the easy way out as […]
