I’ve always hated red food dye because of the moustache it leaves on your upper lip when you drink stuff that has red food dye in it. When we were working at the children’s home, there were a few kids who always had a red moustache and I’m sure it was embarassing! The other day, …
I love when the bluebonnets bloom. It’s one of the most beautiful sights…to drive and see the bluebonnets covering the sides of the roads! We missed the bluebonnets last year, so this is Baby D’s first time. He wasn’t too impressed. The sun was hot, the flowers tickled his feet, he didn’t want to sit …
This is Blank Blank, the Captain’s favorite item, his treasured blanket that used to be his daddy’s. He’s very attached to it and it has been washed many times. As you can guess, it’s very worn! My dear husband is on a search to find this blanket, even though it was probably discontinued many, …

I was SO excited to get to review the Soda Stream Fountain Jet! We love soda, but I actually gave up Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb for Lent. I had my reservations about the Soda Stream, because I don’t want us to get addicted to something that’s equally not good for us, but I began …
Although we aren’t really affected by Spring Break, as Daddy still had to work and we don’t go to school, we got to visit with friends, relatives, and also hang out with the school aged kids more often than usual! We had a great week! We also planted our front flower bed, found ladybugs, and …
1. “I want to be 1 for Halloween.” 2. “I want you to be a cheerleader, Mommy. And a Mermaid.” 3. “When you eat hot dogs, they’re really good for you. But chips are not!” 4. “I want to save my M&Ms. Keep them for me and if anyone that we don’t know comes in, …
The other day, we participated in the Bountiful Baskets food co-op for the first time, and were delighted what we had in our box! Delicious strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, apples, a pineapple, zucchini, tomatoes, a yellow bell pepper, broccoli, lettuce, and……green chard. Huh? Green what? What was I supposed to do with this? I read that …
