If you are anything like me, how well your hair behaves for you in the morning can be a great predictor of how your day is going to go. If my hair falls limp and is unmanageable before I even walk out of the bedroom, I know the day ahead is going to be…

Bubbles
It is less than one month before school starts. I cannot believe how fast this summer flew by, and I know that once Kindergarten starts, the next 14 years will go by just as quickly. Jacob got the "green light" from his doctor to get back outside and to be active again after his…
The Secret
I will admit, I was one of the millions of people who jumped on "The Secret" bandwagon after Oprah had featured the author and other life coach professionals on her show. I watched her original show and the follow up show afterwards and was immediately hooked. I wanted to learn more. Next, I bought…
My Baby
For some reason it is really hitting me today that Ella is a toddler. She is no longer my little infant baby. She’s walking all over the place, full of joy and laughter, and she now has an attitude to match her sister’s. I wish they could stay this little forever. I am trying…
Chicken in Lemon Cream with Penne
Recently, I have had a large number of hits on my blog from people who have found my little slice of the web by Googling things such as “Losing the Baby Fat”. Next to my Monkey Bread post from long ago, the two posts I made about attempting to lose the baby weight have…
Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
What kind of fool has her oven on during the middle of the day when it is hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk outside? You know what? I am that kind of fool. I am the kind of fool that was tempted last week by a Banana Cake photo and article…

Jacob went in to Children’s Mercy hospital on Monday morning for surgery. He had his tonsils and adenoids removed, a hernia repaired and the veins in his nose cauterized. Talk about a triple whammy! He was really out of it on Monday, as can be expected, but yesterday he was back to his normal…
Barbecue Chicken Calzones
Alpha Mom – a modern mom who is confident and in control, a well informed decision-making multitasker. Hip, educated, technologically savvy, type A–personality mom. I know that this is completely against all things good about the feminist movement, but I have always wanted to be like June Cleaver, or our modern day example, (minus…
Grilled Pork Chops with Garlic Lime Sauce
I do not deal well with rejection. Honestly, who does? I have yet to meet a person who actually likes rejection. Some sales people feed off of rejection and it pushes them to try harder, but I really doubt that they actually enjoy being rejected. This week I started sending my resume out for…
Grilled Chicken Sandwiches with Mozarella
Isn’t it funny how marriage has its peaks and valleys? I am happily married. I married a wonderful man who works extremely hard every day away from home to provide for us. When he comes home, he happily shares in the housework, the cooking, the taking care of the kids, etc. I am spoiled…
