Have you ever just gone for a drive?

One of my memories of childhood is going for drives with my parents. No particular destination in mind, just a drive down roads we’d never gone down before. I guess now it would be a silly thing to do given global warming and the price of gas, but back then it was a […]

A Thanksgiving Trip To The Beach

The weather today was incredible.  I can hardly believe that it’s October 7th when it feels like it’s 30 degrees C outside!  Too hot really because it’s so humid too.
I’ve decided that tomorrow I’m going to take the kids to the beach.  I don’t know that they’ll swim, but I think we’ll have some fun […]

The Anniversary Gift

Hubby and I celebrated out 11th wedding anniversary on the 7th of this month. We don’t normally get each other gifts other than a card and maybe a dinner out. I really don’t need more than that, for the record, I’m no material girl
This year though he surprised me with a […]

Family Theme Days?

I’ve wondered about this for a while now.  Some families have Taco Tuesday or Pizza Day Friday and I’m thinking it sounds like a fun idea :)  I was just reading online that Jennifer Garner has homemade bread Saturday and I really like that idea too
It gets me wondering whether I’m the only […]

AFV - The Giggles!!

Well, it’s a tradition of sorts at our house:  America’s Funniest Home Videos every Sunday night :)  The kids are still under the weather, in fact Jen is a bit of a cuddly/whiny/mess, more so than Matt, and HE has the fever - go figure
Anyway, it’s a fun time after dinner and bath-time […]

Grabbing My Day By The…

…you know whats
I have days where I am super-productive and days where I wonder how I could have sat so long and yet done so little.  I do have a lot to do as a paid blogger (yes, I get paid for some of these posts;  no, not this one ) so […]

Blog Traffic ‘n Such

Each day I ponder my bottom line (yeah, my bottom too but that’s a whole other issue ). It seems to me that no matter what you do in online business, your site or blog’s traffic is the key. Lots of traffic means lots of Google ads get clicked on or lots […]

Pop-Ups… Grrr…

Don’t we all hate them? I mean it seems we all have a popup blocker to prevent pop-ups from showing at those nasty sites that still use them right? So why is it then that every now and then I happen upon a site that requires them??
Have you see that? There’ll be […]

Mmm… Cinnamon Rolls!

Okay, I was going to make cookies but Matt said he thinks he’d like cinnamon rolls so, cinnamon rolls it is!  The oven is just preheating but I’m already salivating LOL.  I hope you don’t think I’m crazy feeding my fevered child cinnamon rolls but the way I do it when they are sick is […]
