My dear sweet Mother in Law Ann Marie is a certifiable Mickey fanatic. That’s Scott’s baby blanket that Dee’s appropriated. It looks like “the gene” may have skipped a generation. I think we’re in trouble. And also, THIS. Read more →

Happy Mother’s Day
I asked for rocks for Mother’s Day. Instead what I got was one of the most relaxing and charming afternoons of family fun I could have ever hoped for. And my parent’s haven’t even arrived with the pulled pork yet. Oh, and I did get my rocks. And in the process, since our yard is where grass goes to die,… Read more →

Easy Like Sunday Morning
My eyes were barely open – I was getting the milk to pour into my coffee when I saw the thick cut delicious bacon Jessica and John had left in our fridge. The idea struck me like a bolt of lightning: BACON FILLED PANCAKES. It was like an out of body experience. Like some greater power of death-by-breakfast combos reached… Read more →

Today’s my two year blog-versary. In two years this site has gone from an email I sent to ten friends to…something else entirely. In a good way. Here’s to a spectacular 2011 for all of us – I for one am really looking forward to seeing what’s in store. Read more →
