• Succulent Saturday

    Too dang hot edition. Yeah, so I kinda missed an entire week of blogging. I broke my “aggressively lazy” summer vow and the week was busy. And very hot. I really can’t think when it’s this hot.  So I’m posting an old standby: Amish Baked Oatmeal. I think I’ve posted it before on the old […]

  • A laymom’s attempt to understand a scandal

    What would you say if I told you our government is complicit in the deaths of an untold number of Mexican citizens and two US federal agents? What would you say if I told you the scheme that caused these deaths is not some fly-by-night, off the rails pet-project of a maverick few, but rather […]

    Terrible Tuesday, whiney edition

    “Hey kids, we’ll go to the pool after we have our chores done!” “Children, you need to do as your told or no pool.” “Last warning, disobedience means we will not swim today.” Sigh. “Give me the DS.” So… We’re not going to the pool today. The sounds of whine are deafening. I am not […]

  • Succulent Saturday

    For Independence Day, I made a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. Mentioning this on twitter caused all sorts of comments.  I did not know people were so passionate about rhubarb. I’m firmly on the side of rhubarb lovers, but understand the aversion to it, what with the toxicity and all. But I wasn’t thrilled with the strawberry […]

    Review: Cozi Family Calendar

    I’m something of an organization addict. I’m constantly looking for the latest, greatest system that’s going to turn my chaotic life into an orderly, peaceful dream.

    Terrible Tuesday

    For some reason, Tuesdays are the hardest day of my week. They aren’t necessarily the busiest (although during the school year, they do give me a run for the money), but they are hard.

    The reason for the season

    In the midst of your parades, cook outs, and minor (hopefully) explosions, I encourage you to read the Declaration of Independence. Read it aloud, read all of it (not just the part before the “offenses”), and read the names of the men who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. Happy Birthday, America. […]
