The past couple of weeks I’ve been tackling two milestones – potty training and solid foods – and no, not with the same child The toddler has shown interest in the potty for a few months, so we have had her ’seat’ in our bathroom so she could get to know it. I am [...]

Taco Salad Recipe
Last night I brought a taco salad to the ladies bible study at Kim’s. I promised a couple of the women that I would post the recipe. I love taco salad and this is a favorite version that has a little twist. It has been a favorite of mine since I was in girl scouts and Pam, who [...]

Revolving-Door-Day
I’m sure you’ve had those days where it seems like your front door is a revolving door. You barely shut the door on someone leaving before the bell chimes and someone else is there. This morning was one of those times.

Fruitilicious Smoothies
It just occurred to me that I have never posted a recipe. So I decided to start with my two favorite smoothie recipes. You can make these in your blender or you can make them in your magic bullet. I am not one to buy something I’ve seen on an infomercial , but several months ago, [...]

The Day the TIVO Died
If you have a Tivo or DVR, need I say more? About four years ago, I got Bill a Tivo for his birthday. He had been wanting one and our satellite company (Directv – excellent service, by the way) had a great special at the time, so I surprised him with it. Now, I just [...]

My Take on Prom
I know there have been several posts on prom already (1,2,3,4), but I thought I’d throw my two cents in.
First of all, let me say that we love our volunteers at the Ridge and I hope they know that. It feels weird saying that when I was one just a few months ago [...]

Fresh Meat
There’s a new blog in town that you might want to check out. It’s my hubby’s. He made his blog a couple of months ago, but has not posted anything since his original post. I guess he was inspired by the 80’s prom because he actually posted something yesterday. You can check out his blog [...]

Where in the USA R U?
Hey everybody – we need your help! We’re going to be starting a unit study using the Fifty States this coming school year. In fact, we’re going to be doing a few things over the summer when the heat makes it unbearable outside. I thought it would be neat to see if we could collect [...]

Back to the Future
I’m feeling a little like Marty McFly from Back to the Future this week. In the movie, he lives in 1985 and goes back to 1955 in the De Lorean time machine built by Doc Brown, then comes back again.
On Saturday we will be going to a sock hop with a Fifties theme. We’ll be celebrating several birthdays on my [...]
