You might have noticed a decrease in the frequency of my blogging. I am still super-busy with my 4 kids, but now that the horrible months-long-lasting illness has run its course through our house, I have more energy and time than I’ve had in a long time… so why am I posting less? Because I’ve […]
Saturday was one of the funnest days I’ve had in a long time. I’ve been having major zoo-fever lately, and my husband knew this and renewed our Toledo Zoo membership online before I even woke up Saturday morning. When I finally arose, he said, how about going to the zoo today? So we packed up

INSERT DISK HERE: My son Christopher passed his 6 month baby checkup at the pediatrician with flying colors. If only adult physical tests were this easy – pass a block from hand to hand, pick up a raisin (which was promptly taken away because he’s too little – where’s the reward in that?), a turn
Since I’m on the subject of Girl Scout cookies (per my previous post), I’m going to conduct a flavor poll. Girl Scout cookies are very popular. So many people enjoy them that I would consider them a slice of Americana. So what’s your favorite flavor? [poll id=”5″] And thanks to Jamiahsh for giving me the
No, I’m not talking about the oranges called Cuties. Have you heard of those? They’re small oranges especially grown to be kid-friendly: less sour taste, seedless, and easier to peel and smaller than regular oranges. I’ve been wanting to try them for our family, but when I finally remembered to pick them up at Walmart,
