WHEW! I have to admit that we totally overdid it on Halloween, but in a good way – at one point in the evening, my 5-year-old said “how many parties are we going to?!? We threw a Halloween-themed game night on Friday, complete with things like spider venom, truth serum, and rat vomit for drinks […]

Ok, so who had a haunted house in their neighborhood when they were a kid? For us, it was a haunted road located in a Chicago suburb about 15 minutes away from ours. Actually, my group of friends were from a few different area high schools, and we had all heard of Munger Road from

Well, Halloween is just around the corner, and I have yet to pick out a costume. Err, costumes… um, for the kids, of course… Ok, I’m caught – I dress up for Halloween. However, I don’t go all out. I take pride in wearing cool costumes that I can obtain on a shoestring budget. For
Don’t count me out! I know I haven’t been blogging as much as I used to; it’s because I’ve been all over the place this summer! I am just swamped, but in a great way! The girls were with their Grandma for the past week, so I used the opportunity to finish up some old
Happy New Year! Holy cow, 2009 already! I hope you had a good New Year’s. Ours was wonderul. We hosted a bash, which is always great so that we don’t have to pack up the kids and all their luggage just to haul them out somewhere to stay until the wee hours of the morning.

Merry Christmas! We hope this Christmas Blogcard finds you and yours happy, safe, and healthy.

I think I was somehow cursed last Thanksgiving. I fell ill the day after Thanksgiving, and just as I was starting to feel better a few days later, I felt another virus coming on. This cycle continued until just before Christmas, and because I was pregnant and exhausted, I tried to rest a lot and get well
