Yep, another contest. Yes, I admit that I love contests and free stuff. The prize…. Your choice; blackberry jam, peanut butter cookies or homemade vanilla coffee mix. Head over here for the rules of the contest! Drawing to be held on February 13th. My entry into the contest is homemade Calzones. These are the same Calzones that are on my meal plan for this week. I’ll post an update when we get these made. (Hopefully this weekend, as I need to make some more spaghetti sauce first. lol!)

Stuart Little

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

We had a wonderful time at Stuart Little. It didn’t follow the book even remotely, but it was still a wonderful production. Since the schools were on a 2 hours delay here, the school groups didn’t show up. It was nice as it was just our homeschool group, a small preschool group, and a handful of mommys with their little ones. It was great. Our lunch was a grilled chicken sandwich, apple, goldfish, oreo snackers, and a juice box. We really enjoyed ourselves. The next production will be Charlotte’s Web. Munchkin is super excited — it’s next month. lol!

I thought I’d take the time today to really be grateful for the things in my home. 1. I am extremely grateful that I have a laptop computer. Having my laptop allows me the…

Snow Day

Posted in Family

We had a snow day today. Now, a snow day here doesn’t necessarily mean a lot of snow — in fact, they’ll close things down with the threat of snow (at times). Anyway, we had probably a couple of inches or so. Enough snow that munchkin had fun playing in it. Since we’re homeschooling, a snow day doesn’t mean she doesn’t have to do her school work. BUT, I do allow her to play out in the snow as much as she wants since it doesn’t snow that often. Of course, that means that she’s just now finishing up her…

WFMW: Love, Sweet Love Edition

Some of the best relationship advice that I received is to always keep the communication lines open. For us, this means that we always talk in the evening before bed. Even if D isn’t home, we always try to talk by phone or email. Obviously, this isn’t always possible, but we do our best. I tend to start talking a lot when D is trying to fall asleep, but we won’t mention that…. We also talk a lot when we’re driving. We laugh a lot too because I always bring books with me when we’re going on a long trip,…
