I’ve had a couple of culinary successes lately that I thought I’d share. First up are some Snickerdoodles Blondies. I got the recipe here, from Eat Me, Delicious. Strangely enough this is a vegetarian blog but I have found a lot of good recipes here. I followed the recipe on the site [...]
We need your help!
As you are probably aware, a certain Dynamic Duo of which I am proud to be a part has authored a Seussian story about the CPSIA law. Many seem to be enjoying the story and we are quite pleased, but we also have a bit of a problem. We can’t decide [...]
For some reason we never seem to finish all the bananas I buy before they get too ripe. Which means I have a freezer full of frozen bananas. I decided that since they’ve started falling out and nearly breaking familial toes, I needed to start using them up. I love banana bread, but I wanted [...]
My aunt and her husband are moving out of their home and had an auction last weekend. I forgot about it and didn’t go, but my dad took care of me!
This belonged to my great-grandma Darling. She’s the only great grandparent I actually met, although I was very young when she died and only remember [...]
As promised, here is the recipe I used to make my Raspberry Buckle. For those who aren’t familiar with the term ‘buckle’, think coffee cake with fruit. I’m happy to report that it did turn out nicely. I find red raspberries a bit too tart for me to LOVE them and I’m wondering if I [...]

I could write a whole post about why I haven’t written anything here in so long. But I won’t. I doubt anybody really cares. If you really feel that you need to know, go ahead and think up some wild mom-homeschooler-employee-daughter-Facebooker-friend craziness and you will probably not be too far off. [...]
This little book, under 200 pages, packs a powerful punch.
It is the story of a man named Jones, who comes to a small beach town in Alabama and quietly turns many of the residents’ lives upside-down.
The story begins with Jones meeting the author of the book at a low point in his [...]
Heather and I discussed the CPSIA on the Grace Talk podcast this morning and you can listen to it right here!
Click on the arrow next to “Select a past episode,” and choose “CPSIA meets Dr. Seuss…” It should load and stream from there.
If this doesn’t work for you, you can also download the .mp3 file [...]
I signed up for this the other day and I think it will be a fun activity for us during the summer.
Simply visit the site for The Great Sunflower Project, sign up with them, and they will send you sunflower seeds. Plant the sunflowers and when they bloom, spend some time tracking how long it [...]
Think these dogs have an easy life? I can assure you they don’t! I thought this picture was so cool, I had to include it. I love Malamutes and Huskies. I would have one if I could. (And yes, I do realize that I want one of *every* animal, but they are near the top [...]
Don’t know what Pi Day is? Well, think of the number for pi…3.14… Yes, it’s March 14 each year.
I just wrote an article with ideas for celebrating Pi Day. Go take a look and you might find something fun to do! Let me know if you do any of the activities, while you’re at it. [...]
It’s an embarrassment of riches, I know, but Heather and I have again collaborated on a Seussish tale. This time we target Snopes.com. You can read our latest effort here.
