There is something you need to know about me right now.
I am suffering from a very serious condition. It’s as desperate as it is dangerous.
I have been struggling with this condition for a while, but in recent months, it has steadily been getting worse.
It’s the dreaded…
…
BABY FEVER!
(That is Youngest, by the way, just a few [...]

Every weekday, I spend the my mornings dreading 4:00 p.m.
Between 4:00 p.m and 5:30 p.m., something strange and inexplicable happens. You can always see it coming, because it is right up there with death and taxes on the list of ”things in life that are certain. “
I’ve tried to avoid it….I’ve tried to prevent it….and I’ve tried to find the [...]

Living deep in the heart of BFE (and if you don’t know what that means, google it), I cannot just run to the grocery store on a whim. Every time I need to go anywhere, I can bank on at least on a 30 minute drive…one way. It’s my lot in life, the bane of [...]

As a woman with two highly picky children and one moderately picky husband, my house is often a battleground at dinner time. The reason? Vegetable diversity. These guys like few, if any vegetables. Furthermore, they have no desire or interest to expand their culinary palates beyond the two vegetables they will actually eat.
This problem is mostly my [...]

At the beginning of the year, I came to the startling realization that my youngest will be starting school this fall. Obviously, I knew this was coming, but the reality of the situation chose to sink in right about New Year’s Day. Other than the obvious emotional issues I have with this, I realized that [...]

It’s Earth Day!
While I am not the most eco-savy girl, I am trying to take some small steps on the road to being a greener family.
Living in rural Louisiana, I don’t have recycling service, and the closest place is a good 30 minute drive from my house. Riding my bike to the run errands is [...]

Up until today, I never had the burning urge to blog. As a housewife and stay-at-home mom, I have plenty of things to keep me busy, and furthermore, who really wants to know about all those seemingly mundane events that make up a SAHM’s day? Sure, I managed to win an epic battle with my demonic [...]
