The Great Laptop Bag Hunt of ‘09

So, I got a laptop for Christmas and almost immediately I started looking for laptop bags so that I could cart it around town (because I’m just so cosmopolitan that you’ll often find me perched in trendy coffee shops sipping a latte while I stare intently into my computer screen…or not).
It was a great quest. [...]

Choosy Mom turned Cheap Mom

“Choosy Moms choose Jif!” Or so the commercial always told us and I was a proud choosy Mom! Nothing but the best for me my family.
I never really thought I was a brand snob until I decided to try and be more frugal. It’s amazing how blind we can be to our own faults. I [...]

Veggie Pockets

Another Mouthwatering Monday post!
An all-time favorite meal in our home is chicken pot pie. But with JBelle taking the vegetarian route I figured that was no longer an option for us. I got to thinking about it though and it occurred to me that I could do the dish without the chicken. However, there was [...]

Note to Self

Unless you can figure out how to play Wii bowling left handed, you are hearby banned from the activity until you can have shoulder replacement surgery.
Wait. Is there such a thing as shoulder replacement surgery?
Guess I’d better get crackin’ on that left handed thing…

I am Blissfully Domestic – a Blissful Kids story

My submission for this week’s “I am Blissfully Domestic“, is the Menu of Ailments story about pretend play with the GMan.
Won’t you share how you’re Blissfully Domestic, too?

Compliments

I think I’m afraid it will sound trite and insincere. Which is also weird because I truly appreciate it when someone gives me a compliment.
And [...]

My favorite biscuits

It’s Mouthwatering Monday! I’m cheating a bit today. I didn’t make anything particularly mouthwatering last week. In fact, we struggled quite a bit with trying to help and support JBelle’s decision to be a vegetarian but not eat mac ‘n cheese or pb&j every day. It was  just one of those weeks where nothing seemed [...]

A Menu of Ailments

Both of our children have wonderful, active imaginations. Pretend play has been a staple in their early childhood years. With JBelle it was acting out scenes from her favorite movies, which was funny because….
JBelle to me: “Mommy, you be Belle and I’ll be Gaston” or “Mommy, you be Analise and I’ll be Preminger”
…she always wanted [...]

I Am Blissfully Domestic

My entry into this week’s “I Am Blissfully Domestic” is yesterday’s vegetarian chili recipe! (Gonna milk that one for all it’s worth, ha!)
If you’ve written [...]

Vegetarian Chili: Mouthwatering Monday

My girl Rachel over at From the Land of Monkeys & Princesses hosts Mouthwatering Mondays. It’s about posting an uber delish recipe to share with your readers and getting a little link love in return. I thought I’d share a little something I whipped up earlier this week. I forgot to photograph it, so you’ll [...]
