Ham-Bam
When I was little, I got on this kick where I started rhyming everything. It wasn’t just “Mom.” It was Mom-bom. And Joshy-squashy. Sarah-warah. Becky-wecky. (Funny – I think Dad got left out of the rhyming business. Dad-bad doesn’t go over so well. And Dad-wad? I must have known which boundaries not to cross.) You…

Appetizing…
I know you’re starved by now since all we gave you yesterday was a drink. But what a fabulous drink it was! Kristi came through with a Minty Peach Iced Tea. Perfect for this warm weather we’ve been having here in North Carolina! Today, Renee over at Living, Laughing, and Loving is making an appetizer…

Me: 1 / Sewing Machine: 0
My sewing machine and I have a love/hate relationship. Sometimes I love it. Other times I hate it. Sorta like my relationship with my workout DVDs. Anyway, I’m currently on good terms with my sewing machine and that’s because of these puppies: Yep. Many moons ago I showed you the curtains I made for my…

Hunger :: 12/52
So, my son has been eating a LOT lately. And he’s still been hungry. We started cereal last week. And now this is a common sight in our home: And this: And my favorite: He’s like, “Come on, Mom. Less camera; more food.” And then big sister decided to try it… She was so…

Encouraging My Addiction
Wait. You have an addiction? Why yes. I first wrote about it here when I shared the recipe for Greek Chicken Nachos. In that post, I confessed my {recently discovered} love for chickpeas. I also mentioned that I had not yet found a hummus recipe that was up to par with the one I loved at…

I’m a Big Sister!
Well, no… actually, I’m not. In fact, I’m the youngest. But that’s beside the point. And no, I’m not having another baby. This is a onesie I made for my little girl when I found out I was expecting little dude. I took a pregnancy test in the morning, dressed my little girl in this…

Ballard-Inspired Rock Mirror
I hinted on Monday that I had something up my sleeve inspired by this magazine: As soon as it came in the mail, I knew what I was going to do during my kids’ nap time. I sat down with a pen and began studying. Do you ever do that? If you have trouble finding…

The “Eyes” of March :: 11/52 + Book Giveaway! (CLOSED)
The “eyes” of March. That’s the topic for this week’s photo challenge over at My 3 Boybarians. I didn’t want to take a picture of eyes. Because that’s obvious. And I like to be creative, and sorta…un-obvious. Only sometimes this backfires and I’m so “creative” that I don’t make sense. Things have been so warm…

Smooooooth
I’ve always been a fan of cold drinks. Ice cold chocolate milk Frozen lemonade Frappuccinos (usually mocha flavored) Milkshakes (chocolate malt? oh yes.) Pretty much everything in that list is high in calories and fat. Except possibly the frozen lemonade…depending how you make it. Well, one day smoothie were introduced into my life. Stopthebus…a frozen…
