It’s not something we regularly buy to enjoy at home. But it’s a sugary treat now and then when we’re out. For this family birthday, Middle Girl requested a trip downtown to the museum. See, since she was just a little girl she’s been drawn to sweetness. Sweet tea, Dr. Pepper, Coca-Cola. Then, last year, […]

Even the picky ones yum it up. We enjoyed it with rice and garden vegetables. You throw that chicken in there, doused with […]

Several catchy articles compete for attention in my brain, all having to do with habits: “Top Ten Habits for a Clutter-Free Home,” ” How to Keep Children Interested in Schoolwork,” and “Habits for Keeping Hubby Happy.” All may be written someday, but right now […]

But out of sheer avoidance of dirtying something else, I just smushed it with a knife and fork. So, really, it doesn’t […]

Helpful Habit – Annual Planning and Goal Setting

In the true fashion of a Hodgepodge (hodgepodge |ˈhäjˌpäj|(Brit. hotchpotch ) noun [ in sing. ]a confused mixture). First, our Camera Phone Friday mosaic […]
