Christie O. had a fun project posted at The Sisterhood over the weekend… if you asked your kids what is on your grocery list, what would they say? Would you be embarrassed and hide your head in shame? Maybe you could slip them a dollar if they mention fruits and veggies? Ahem. Not that I [...]

BB: I know why LifeSavers have holes in them. Me: Really? Why? BB: So if you start choking on one, you can still breathe. ~~~~~~ As we are driving along to our various 1,083 evening activities, the subject turns to BigFoot and other creature-monsters.

Meet Digger, a miniature Australian Shepherd. He is 10-weeks old. I pretty much die of cute every time I look at him. Ozzie does not feel the same way. He changed immediately and was not a fan of this little baby pup whatsoever. Until he discovered that, HEY! PUPPIES LIKE TO PLAY! This puppy business [...]

When we first bought this house almost 5 years ago, every wall was white. Or beige. No joke. I have been soooo overwhelmed at the thought of decorating, painting, or anything else.
