i’m clean!

I’ve been cleansed!! I finally tried a cleanse. I’m such a follower sometimes! My sister-in-law is a rep for AdvoCare and I’ve always been curious but never really had the intentions of trying it....

boobies

(Let’s see how crazy my spam gets with that post title!) If you’ve been following me on my other blog, aka Instagram then you’ll know that I am once again walking 60 miles! 60 miles in 3 days for...

yoga-yoga-ya-ya-ya

In all the yoga classes I’ve been to I’ve never once oh’med. It’s not a requirement. But I didn’t know that until I went. I remember the very first yoga class I went to, I had the giggle...

my music

Some of my favorite songs pop up out of nowhere. I’ve had a hold of this one for a few months now and I still love singing along to it. My favorite line… I’ll stand up for you if it’s what you...

little nuggets

As a baby he wasn’t all that into being ‘babied.” He never like being rocked with a story and a song to lull him to sleep. He preferred his blanket, eight or so various stuffed objects, a pat on...

preach without the practice

I am Catholic. Baptized and raised as such. I have so many memories of Mass with my Mom and my Grandparents. The ritual of the Mass is so comforting to me, even today. As a child I attended other...

my music

I can’t get enough of this guy and his album. Princess A calls this one her song. Hearing her sweet voice singing like a drum baby don’t stop beating is enough to keep me playing it over and over...

blue blankies

Last night Biggest went to bed without his blue blankie. The one we brought him home in. The same one I had to sew the nat (tag) back on because it had fallen off from all the love. The blanket...

let’s get physical

Every so often I talk about my fitness abilities or lack thereof. I ride the same roller coasters that we all do (at least I tell myself that we all do.) And always kick myself when I forget how...

more momvention musts

I got so wrapped up in telling you about the momvention of my century I forgot about the other projects I did! I love these too and am used to you loving what I love! It’s a win win kind of place...

operation DALS (10)

Making this dish reminded me of our every once in awhile Mexican nights in college. We’d host or go and serve our favorite Mexican dishes… skinny mini soup, quesadilla, salsa! Of course margaritas....

rosies and posies

I rediscovered this video on my phone this week. It’s spans four generations… my Grandmother, Mother, and the girls. And it makes my heart very happy.

operation DALS (9)

I know we left the last operaioin DALS on a bit of a sour note. But I’m over it for now. I went on vacation and ate non-kid friendly food the whole time. It made me feel better. Fish Cakes 3 firm...

blue ninjas

I grew up in a typical suburbia town. A large community that rallied around our antlered mascot. Football was big. Soccer, some would argue, was bigger. I never liked soccer. I attended a soccer...

apples to oranges to bannas and grapes

I’m pretty sure if there were an actual manual for raising children one of the 10 commandments would be Thou Shalt Not Compare Your Children. But fortunately there’s no manual, thus no...

We are two weeks into our Adopt A Pantry… why haven’t you joined us yet?! Here’s our update… 81 cans of food ALREADY!! Yay us! We still need more helpers and we still need more cans… again, why...

operation DALS (8)

**A disclaimer… this is technically not the next one in the book. There are three recipes that come before this one but all three of them are meant for entertaining. My sweet children do not...

my great mom-vention

At some point towards the end of the summer, I had a vision. I was finally putting my label maker to use for another project and this idea hit me. It was like the clouds parted, I squinted into the...

adopt a pantry

I had such fun with Run. Blog. Give. Combining some of your favorite things for a good cause just does something for the soul. At the encouragement of some of my other favorite blogging buddies...

operation DALS (7)

Hot soup on a cold Sunday. Mashed potatoes that coat your insides. Gravy that makes the bread too soggy to pick up. Comfort food. I love it. All the warmy, buttery, comforting parts of it....

we were pink and we were pretty

It’s been two full weeks since we walked 60 miles in 3 days and raised over $7500 for the fight to find a cure for breast cancer. When the sparkle of it wears off I find myself telling people about...
