So today we are taking a small road trip. It takes forever to get the girls packed up and ready to go. I pack a diaper bag, snacks, books, and other various things to entertain the kids in the car as well as at a restaurant or any other place they might need to sit [...]

My oldest (crazy looking one on the left above) went through a couple weeks of wanting to make “tonics.” When asked what kind of tonics or tonics for what the response was always “you know, mom, tonics!” Oh, that kind. We made basil olive oil, we made our own vanilla, I let her throw together her own smoothie [...]

The older two planned a great USA birthday party for them!
The twins turned two, why does that sound ominouse?
We try to keep birthday’s low-key. A meal with family (grandparents and great-grandparents as they all live in the same town) and a couple small gifts. With twins it is easy to combine a gift…we’ll have to [...]

So, I missed posting yesterday. That is because it was Dad’s birthday and we were getting ready for him to come home. I just got back from bringing him home and have to say seeing my dad walk up the back steps was almost enough to make me cry. To think that this time last [...]
Our week in meals

Last week we deviated a fair bit from the menu. This was due to taking dad to the hospital, visiting him, delays picking up my sister at the airport, etc. This week I’m holding out for only one meal out (both for financial and health reasons!) It shouldn’t be hard seeing as I have a fair bit [...]

This weeks CSA included: Onions, red potatoes, tomatoes, peas, cabbage, zucchini, kohlrabi, and peaches that smell so good I could drool (is that okay to write on a blog?)

I have no clue what I am going to do with gooseberries and since my [...]
