So last week we made a trip to the local shoe store. Cody and Nick both needed sneakers so we all hopped into the car and headed over to grab a couple pairs of sneakers and be on our way. Not so fast. Well Cody was simple. Another pair of sneakers from the men’s department, […]
School’s No Cell Phone Policy Doesn’t Pertain to Teachers, Apparently
September 10, 2010 · by · Leave a Comment
A few weeks ago, Nick and I were driving in the car just having a casual conversation about how glad he was that his first year of middle school was behind him (admittedly, I was really glad, too) and how excited he was for seventh grade. Yes, I said excited. This is a child who had a tough […]

My kids go back to school next week and you know what that means? It means it’s back to me weaseling my way into visiting the cafeteria during my son’s lunch period. You know, to chat. About things like math, science, oh, the science of some of the cafeteria food, that is. I have discussed such […]

Have you received the list yet this year? Not the list of necessary school supplies, but the list that will help out the teacher in the classroom throughout the year? It annoys me a bit that this kind of stuff isn’t built into the school’s budget, but I look at it as an opportunity to share […]
Meatless Monday – Five Favorites of my Meat Loving Husband

My husband loves meat. It is what it is and that’s okay, but I am the shopper and don’t buy much meat at all, which means it’s pretty much Meatless Monday most days in our home. My younger son and I are vegetarians and my older son is mostly vegetarian, but my husband would still […]
