There are a couple of recipes that are special and enjoyed only once or twice a year–my Mom’s Gourmet Potatoes is one of those recipes. When we go to their house at Christmas, she always makes a big pan of them and my sister and I fight over who gets to have it in front…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Yard Stuff–This time of year is not my favorite. Not only is it major allergy season–it’s also time to do yard work. I don’t enjoy this at all–mostly, because I’m lousy at it. I feel like I spend hours and hours weeding, raking, planting,…
My son, Morgan’s, favorite place to eat in our home town is a place called “Musashi Japanese Restaurant”. It’s one of those places where the chef cooks all the food in front of you and usually does some sort of show along with it–making a volcano out of a stack of onions, flipping eggs so…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Cooking Class–Morgan asked me to teach him how to make his favorite rice this week. When I finally picked my jaw up off the floor (he never wants me to teach him anything), I gladly showed him how to make Fried Rice. His secret…
My two children–like many of yours–are having to endure days and days of state testing at their school right now. Our PTO decided to bless our kids with an extra breakfast to give their brains an added fuel boost. My younger son Grayson is a fanatic for anything free food or snacks (who isn’t?!) and…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Just Between Friends Sale. Twice a year there is a great venue to sell all your kids outgrown clothing, toys, books, furnishings, etc. that have been taking up extra space in your home–AND you can purchase used items that are in really good condition…
If you have ever had the privilege of being invited to my parents house for dinner, you may have also been privileged to get to try my Mom’s amazing lasagna. (Or La Sonya as my Dad calls it) (we don’t know why he pronounces it this way–it’s just part of our lives). When my Mom…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.A week of rest.–This week was everything I was hoping it would be. After such a whirlwind month of March– with blizzards, birthdays and spring break, it was so nice to have a “normal” week. The boys were at school (only 2 calls from…
We have tacos at least once a week at our house–but not always on Tuesdays. To be honest, I think Super Rockstar could just rotate Taco’s, Spaghetti and Fried Chicken and be just fine. I know what you’re thinking–“I know how to make taco’s–it’s really not that hard.” That’s true. It is easy. But no–you…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Spring Break. Our school’s spring break always occurs exactly in between my boys birthdays. So, in the middle of all the chaos of birthday traditions and parties we managed to squeeze in a few fun activities. This year the weather was just beautiful–it…
