I’ve shared before that Cody is a Special Olympian. If you have the opportunity to attend a Special Olympics for any sport at least once in your lifetime, I promise it will change you. As a matter of fact, I think it would have a much bigger impact if you take your own children as well. While it’s […]
Muffins. Chocolate and Cinnamon Chip Muffins.
December 19, 2011 · by · Leave a Comment
I bake muffins most every Saturday. I don’t dare say every Saturday because that’s just way too much pressure and accountability I don’t need in my life. Needless to say, Saturday comes and Nick asks when the muffins will be ready, like it’s a tradition or something. Boy, that kid is getting to be so spoiled. […]
ABBA – You Can Dance {Review}
December 17, 2011 · by · 14 Comments
I was a child of the 70’s and one of my most favorite things to this day is the music from that decade. When I was offered the opportunity to try out ABBA You Can Dance on the Wii from the fabulous creators of the Just Dance games, Ubisoft, I boogied my fingers across the keyboard to accept […]
I’m on a mission

All kids ask for stuff. Whether it’s the newest video game or money to go to a movie or a school dance, the want is there. When it comes to this time of year, most kids can also make a Christmas wish list a mile long. Ask them what they want and they will gladly […]

Coastal Maine isn’t so bad I suppose

So I was chatting with my friend Megan this morning and whining about how telling her I was struggling to come up with something to write about. I gave up the whole niche blog thing because I wanted to feel more free with post ideas, but here I sat with nothing, or so much that […]
Marzetti Simply Dressed Salad Dressing {Review}
December 6, 2011 · by · 15 Comments
Confession: I’m just not much of a salad person. I force myself to happily make them every now and then, though, because they are so pretty and colorful and good for my family, gosh darn it. I’ll be honest, the proper dressing makes all the difference. Since the dressing is also the part that can […]
A surpising parent/teacher conference
December 5, 2011 · by · 5 Comments
Cody and Nick both had last Thursday off from school because it was conference day. As they’ve gotten older, the whole process has changed. There’s more student involvement and less from the teachers. Especially for Nick, who has several teachers who provide his education over the course of each day, it’s more to keep track […]
Favorite memories
November 28, 2011 · by · 2 Comments
We had a really nice five days of no school and no alarm clock to set. It was wonderful to focus on Cody’s birthday, food, the holiday and spending time with family. As I think back through the last several days there are moments that stick out as the most memorable, the ones that mean […]
