Five Friday Favorites (on Monday) – Thanksgiving Weekend Edition
I probably could have called this the “broken” edition of Friday Favorites considering we have a broken microwave and at least two other things around the house that need to be repaired. Do wild...
View ArticleWho Knew?
What did we ever do without Google? I find it simply fascinating that Googl-ing is verb – as in to Google something. Ask a question to which no one in the near vicinity knows the answer and some wise...
View ArticleThe Food Post That Almost Wasn’t
Despite all evidence to the contrary, I did not fall off the planet and into a black hole. And despite the fact that I really hate when I hear myself say “I’ve been busy” in response to a question...
View ArticleHappy New Year to You!
Hello, dear readers and friends… Yes, I am still alive. I know I have been “off the grid,” here for a while. It really was unintentional. I posted two sort of gush-my-heart-out posts right after the...
View ArticleFocus on Nothing
I have accomplished a whole lot of nothing over the last week. My To-Do list (that wretched thing) has just as many items on it as it did two weeks ago. It’s not for lack of effort or lack of …...
View ArticleUnintentional Hiatus
This is unprecedented. I haven’t cooked a real meal in my own kitchen (or anyone else’s) in…let’s see…eight days. I don’t think that has ever happened before. The last thing I made was The Angry Chef’s...
View ArticleFive Friday Favorites – Random Monday Edition
I started this list last Wednesday thinking I would be all set to publish on Friday. Didn’t happen. Maybe it’s because I didn’t have five things on the list. Maybe it’s because we were busy doing a...
View ArticleSaturday Morning Throwback
Apparently, Saturday morning cartoons are not quite what they used to be. I spent considerable time thinking about this over the last couple of days. Kidzilla and I have matching sinus infections...
View ArticleFriday Favorites – Yes, I Know It Isn’t Friday Edition
I am well aware that it is not Friday. I would like it to be, though. Does that count? But I have this little collection of new favorites in my head and I am simply too impatient to wait until …...
View ArticlePotentially Useful Skills: A Follow-Up
My Mom always says, “Half of being smart is knowing what you’re dumb at.” How true. And the older I get, the smarter Mom gets, of course. Maybe it’s just that as we mature, we realize that our parents...
View ArticleThe (Not So) Secret Life of Husbands
We listen to a lot of music in our home. And in the car, the playroom, the office…wherever. The Fab Hub, Kidzilla, and I are all music lovers and enjoy all different styles and genres. Just yesterday,...
View ArticleStill Here
Somehow, the last week has completely slipped away from me… I think we have just been caught up in enjoying the summer break in various ways. I have a handful of half-written posts detailing some of...
View ArticleFirst Time at a Gig
“I’m so excited,” she said as she bounced around the kitchen. “It’s my first time at a gig.” Zilla helped get dinner ready for the two of us as we prepared to go out and hear her Fab Dad play …...
View ArticleCatching Up
A few days ago, Andrea wrote this post about catching up on an overwhelming number of blog posts…and why it’s important to her. Go read it. Really, go. I’ll wait. I could pretty much write the same...
View ArticleTen Things of Thankful – Better Late Than Never (Again)

On the day before the first day of fall, I, the Fab Hub, and our Kidzilla headed to our favorite (OK really our only) hiking spot at a wildlife sanctuary not too far from us. Now that the weather is...

View ArticleTen Things of Thankful – Interesting and Mildly Entertaining Edition
I missed doing the Ten Things of Thankful linkup last week. It’s not that I wasn’t thankful for anything…it just…never happened. Sometimes I really think in the midst of the heaviness of life, it’s too...
View ArticleThe Day We Did Nothing Together
Last Saturday, Kidzilla and I spent the entire day together. We did exactly nothing together all day. And it was awesome. The Fab Hub went for an extended hike with a friend so Zilla and I were left to...
