I know I’ve raved about homemade yogurt to you enough times that you’re probably sick of hearing about it, but I was prompted to do a follow up post by a friend who has been having her own adventures in the land of homemade stuff! I’m going to have to try some of Amy’s breads …

The anatomy of a fit
This series of events happened a while back, but I just have to post it because I still crack up over the recollection, though I suppose that laughing is not a good way to nip fits! 😉 Sometimes it simply cannot be helped! The first stage of a fit is usually enjoyment. The reason a …
An Outside Day
It’s been so warm here this winter! No complaints from my side, that’s for sure! I’d ever so much rather have it warm than freezing! Yep, I’m a wimp! But warm or cold, the kids always benefit from some outside playing time. And I always feel better about sending them outside when it’s warmer. Ella, …
How to build a snowman
Photo tutorial by Myles. First, you find a big strong Daddy. Then you convince him that you are helping by walking behind him as he rolls the big balls of snow. Pick the very best spot to assemble your camouflage snow man and tell your strong Daddy how to lift and place the snow ball. …
Faces
I think the faces my kids make when I have a camera in my hand (or glued to my face) are hilarious! I don’t know why they can’t just “act natural.” ha ha! Actually… maybe they are, now that I think of it. 😉 Something that almost always gets them to stop being grumpy is …
Thus and Such
Ella is suddenly into accessorizing! Ha! Every morning now, after I get her dressed, she points to the box that has her headbands and bows in it and signs please. It cracks me up because the headband doesn’t last more than a few minutes, but she seems to think that her outfit isn’t complete without …
Smooshy Face
I’m glad that kids face is mostly cartilage! Myles fell right on his nose apparently while monkeying around outside. He usually has stellar balance, but this day it didn’t kick in in time. Poor dude! He’s been very brave through it all anyway. Grandma was there to comfort him when it happened, and he spent …
Techno-kids
We’re raising a generation of robots! Ack!! Ha ha ha! I confess that I sometimes rely on the technology of our day to help me with restless kids. It’s amazing how quickly they can get quiet and calm once you plug them into the matrix give them a “game to play! 😉 Ella just loves …
A Gift for Ella
Look what a friend of Mommy’s sent me! Limey soft jammies!! Woo-hoo!! Someone remembers that my mom loves lime green! I think I will like it a lot too, because I see it often! 😉 Mommy said that she won’t have any trouble finding me in my bed in THESE jammies because I practically glow …
Mattie
I knew her as Masona, or as she liked to call herself to our kids, “Masoney.” 🙂 Mattie is Stuart’s grandma on his mom’s side. She’s an amazing Navajo lady, and I’m so happy that I knew her!! Masona passed away on Feb 17 early in the morning. She’s now skipping down the streets of …
