Goo Goo Dolls

I love the Goo Goo Dolls. They’re in my top 5 rock bands, for sure, though I’m not even really certain who else is on that list. So naturally when my buddy Ashley told me that she was going to their concert on Saturday, I told her that if for some reason they [...]

Things I Love To Find

So the other day I left Janey and Breanne in their bedroom for a minute while I went to do some laundry or something, and when I came back upstairs, the girls seemed to be happy in their room, so I left them there to do a few more chores. When I finally peeked [...]

Two More Tags

Ok, so I’ve been tagged a lot lately, though it seems for the same tags over and over again, so I’m posting them both here. Enjoy learning a little more about me!
TAG #1
Here are the rules: I have to answer the following questions with one word answers and one word only! Then I must [...]

Church Dresses

On a happier note–don’t the girls look adorable in their fall attire?
And yes, Breanne did insist on wearing the hat to church.

One of those days…

Today was kind of a crappy day.  I don’t feel great (Janey is teething, and bringing some new issues with that…), Cory was “let go” from his job at Excel (they’re massively downsizing, and let go all of their part-timers), and I found out that a good friend from my home ward was killed in [...]

Look at Me!

A couple hours after I tossed all my ingredients for stew into the crockpot, I decided we needed a little bread to go with it… so here is what I did about it:

Yeast, sugar and water bubbling up while I scalded milk, melted butter and dissolved sugar and salt on the stove…
beat three eggs, then [...]

Some of us are more excited for winter than others…

Breanne’s Not Half Bad…

at the photography thing.  After the pj’s shoot, she wanted to take some pics.  When I told her I’d help her, she (of course) told me, “No, me help me.  Breanne help me” and took the camera away from me.  She couldn’t quite figure out how to work it, so I did help her a [...]

Green PJ’s

I’m pretty sure I mentioned my love for slickdeals on here recently, but seriously–so great.  The girls are wearing pajamas that I got for less than 3.00 a pair, when they were originally at least 15.00.  They’re super nice, thick, warm pj’s from Kohl’s clearance, which I could just check out regularly myself, but why [...]

What to do with all these cookie cutters? or Getting Breanne to eat PB’n'J

Sometimes Breanne just wants to scoop all the pb&j off her sandwich with her finger, and leave the bread. Sometimes I let her get away with this (she’s still getting some of the important stuff, right?) but sometimes I worry about her getting enough to eat. So this is a new solution I [...]
