A few weeks ago I took a quick trip to Louisville, KY. And by quick I do mean quick. I was in the air or on the ground for about 27 hours. Quick. The trip couldn’t have come at a better time. I was knee deep in writing before the trip. I made a...

I’m all about quick, easy, and tasty. Especially when it comes to dinner. Dinner is a key event in our home. We like to eat together as a family. Every night. But the reality is that I have a couple of teens. Teens who come home from school ravenous, starving, hungry, and ready to...

Yesterday I was lamenting the nonappearance of the dinnertime fairy. Wouldn’t it be lovely to have a little fairy swoop in. Come up with a dinner menu for the week. Buy the food. Cook the food. Set the table. Clean up after the meal. In short do everything. Aaahhhh, a mom can dream can’t...

Where oh where are you? When are you coming to cook? My family would love to see your wand, sparkly dress, and most of all your wings. I can just see you floating in to the kitchen. Maybe via back door when a kid comes home from school. Perhaps you’ll live in our home...

I left a comment on FireMom’s post about the Bounce Dryer Bar. I didn’t leave a one word or a one line comment. No, not me. I left a long comment. Now in fairness to me I was answering a writing prompt. The type of writing prompt where I felt compelled to spill it....
