After taking a spinning class last weekend, I realized that the spindle I had was really too small and light to use very well. I shopped around for a new one and there are a lot of expensive spindles out there! I did find one that I could buy shipped for $7.50. I probably would [...]
I’m calling these “Valentine Cupcakes” because that’s what I first made them for, but they can of course be made for any reason at any time. The main trick to making these cupcakes is simply a technique used with the batter. You can really use any recipe that you like.
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 exactly and they turned [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
