One of the things Colin and I like to do together is shop for groceries. We almost always do our grocery shopping together, since we both like the bright lights and colors and want to have some control over the food that comes home. We like to spend time together, too, and it's a little bit [...]

Combining the two lessons is going to be tough, but we need to keep up with the schedule and this week we did an Easter lesson. The objectives of the two lessons are that each [...]

Last night for our date we went to the Spring Home Show because a neighbor gave us free tickets. We had a good time, although we had to say "no" to a lot of people. There were at least two people who wanted us to pay our mortgage off their way (which they claimed meant [...]

Long title, I know, but it's the title of a charming book by Tamara Fackrell I'm re-reading that my mother gave me a couple years ago for Christmas. It's probably best suited for mothers of children 2- to 8-years-old, but I think it would be useful for any mother or potential mother. It comes with tons [...]

I just saw that someone found my site by searching for Mother's Day breakfast ideas. but as I haven't written on the topic they were probably disappointed. It's a fun idea for something to write about, though, so here are some ideas for easy breakfasts kids (and Dads) can do for Mother's Day. Do breakfast in bed if [...]
