Stop Thinking About Me

Having your husband in the bathroom with you while you tinkle on a stick and wait for two lines to appear seems like a pretty un-magical moment if you ask me. Maybe that’s why this scene has never played out in our house. I love to come up with fun ways to tell Gary that [...]

I used to have a good memory. I was pretty good with numbers and if in casual conversation you would mention something like where you are from, where you went on your mission, your favorite band, your middle name, your birthday, your child’s birthday, etc… my brain would file the information away without me even [...]

Me and my sister
Today is my sister, Holly’s, birthday! Some people think that she is dead, but that is only because she has a life outside of her blog (snob) and she thinks that working to pay rent and eat is more important than writing about royal club thumbs and honking at statesmen.

For never writing on her blog, Holly sure has inspired many list posts.
-Liv is all registered for Kindergarten and very excited to be starting school in the fall. She was very brave when she went in for her 5 year immunizations needed for Kindergarten and even though she had huge tears streaming down her face [...]

On Friday I was running several errands in our van and I kept smelling a burning smell that was reminiscent of burned toast. The smell made me a little nervous, but I brushed it off telling myself that it was coming from outside. I ended up at my parents condo since my sister was in [...]

I broke the tenth commandment. [...]

I recently wrote about how I was sucked into a production of Persuasion by PBS’s Masterpiece Theatre. I loved it so much that I was excited to see Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park. Sense and Sensibility was well done (my favorite is still Emma Thompson’s screenplay of it) and everyone was well cast with [...]

I wanted to do something fun for April Fool’s Day this year since the kids are getting older and understand the fun of tricks. I wanted to make some fun trick food for the kids to eat so I searched on familyfun.com for some ideas. I found the meatloaf cupcakes with pink potato “frosting”, [...]
