This was written a weekish or so ago… just so’s ya know. 😉 I’ve been working outside in the yard quite a bit lately. I have the tan lines to prove it! 😉 So today I thought I’d better stay indoors and get some “real” housework done. The washer and dryer have been going non …

P-Dub’s Easy Green Chile Enchiladas
This morning, well it was closer to lunch than breakfast, but still morning, I was looking through my RSS reader and a post by The Pioneer Woman came up. She talked about how she had been in Albuquerque for a book signing. (I so wanted to go, but it wouldn’t workout in our schedule) and …
Future Virtuoso
Hmmm…. what key is it? Fantastic fingering! We’ll have to work on that pedal though. 😉
Afternoon Activities
So I’ve decided that this summer I will do ONE special project or activity with the kids a week. I know, I know, one doesn’t sound like much, but for me this is progress. I am not a “crafty mom” and it just stresses me out to create disastrous messes that I’m going to have …
Remember
A picture is worth a thousand words. Freedom is not free! I am so thankful for the people of our military and the sacrifices that they and their families are willing to make by putting it all on the line so the rest of us may live in peace and safety. Thank you! Source: piccsy.com …
Trampoline
We got a trampoline at Qade’s birthday. I have worked to convince him that it belongs to all of us even though HE got it for his birthday. 🙂 It’s a work in progress. So far Myles has made the most use of it. Ella, however loves to play in there as well. While she’s …
Chocolate Chip Cookie Solution
So I may have mentioned before that I have the hardest time in the world getting chocolate chip cookies to turn out well. It’s a mixture of altitude with who knows what else that causes every recipe I’ve tried to fall woefully flat… for real. Until now that is. 🙂 Tonight I tried THIS recipe …
Pony gal
I’ve been waiting for Ella’s hair to grown long enough to do something with. 🙂 The day has come!! I have tried barrettes from time to time and they never last more than 2.7 seconds. So imagine my surprise when she left this little pony tail in!! She didn’t even attempt to pull it out! …
Homemade Shampoo
I made some homemade shampoo some time ago because I’ve been wild about trying some more of these recipes. I have not been using it exclusively though since I still had a nearly full shampoo and conditioner on hand. I’ve used it a few times though and am interested to see what a difference it …
Goin’ Walkin’
We enjoy family walks. Some days it’s still drama to get everyone on board. One or another of our small fries will insist that they “don’t want a family walk.” or “I’m too tired to walk.” and other such complaints. Still, they rarely have a choice in the matter and one way or another we’re …
