I don’t want to think about it . . . but school starts soon. Very soon. For this Mama who loves to have her kids at home during the summer, it’s … [Read more...]
Bobbing for Apples (for Germaphobes)
Little known fact about me: I am was a Champion Apple Bobber. That's right, every time I bobbed for apples as a child, I dominated. I was generally the only person at the party who was more-than-willing to stick my entire head into the bucket and push the apple to the bottom so I could grip it in my larger-than-average mouth. Half the fun … [Read more...]
Easy Dinner for a Crowd – Taco Salad
You know I love taco salad as a picnic option, right? Well . . . soon after I posted that idea, I needed to feed a crowd, and I needed to keep things simple. Both of my boys were baptized on Mother's Day (BEST Mother's Day gift EVER), and both sides of the family were coming.

Back to School Boost
I'm sorry. This bundle is no longer available. Seven days of an (icky) anti-biotic and I'm still feeling exceedingly lousy. A friend's horror story of her brother's experience with a similar illness has convinced me to head back to the doctor in the morning. Meanwhile, I thought I'd mention a big sale going on for an e-book … [Read more...]

She Won’t Look in Here . . .
I promise, it's not Mother In Law Week around here. But really, a visit from an MIL is pretty much guaranteed to inspire a few posts for a Slob Blogger. As I was frantically getting my house cleaned up for her visit last Friday, I stopped for a moment to . . . well . . . you know. Anyway, as I was sitting there for a moment, I looked … [Read more...]
