Wondering what to do with all those boxes of peeps you hoarded under your bed so the kids wouldn’t find them? (C’mon! I know we’ve all got them!)

Hello. My talk is on S’mores.
I’m not one to often make frivolous purchases for myself. For the Baby, okay, but not for me. However, my nice Mother-in-law gave me the funnest fun-in-a-box I’ve had for a long time, made even better by the novelty of such a “just because” thing. It is called a S’more [...]

What have I been up to for the past week now that I don’t have to blog anymore? Sleep. I’m trying to keep diurnal hours now, and regular sleep has added a modicum of sanity to my daily, uh, day. Also, I’ve been doing other sensational mother stuff that would be too fabulous to blog [...]

As the holidays approach, I think we all get in the mood for some festive recipes. Luckily, Chef Ood has been in the kitchen whipping up something totally new and exciting.
No, it is not that cold in our house. Remember Ood is also a fashion expert; everybody will be wearing fleece hats indoors next season. [...]

I asked Isp what he wanted for his birthday dinner. He started to automatically quip, “Pizz–” but stopped short and revised hiself, “Yams! We never, never have yams. Why don’t we ever have yams?”
“Are you saying you want yams for your birthday dinner?”
His face brightened. “Yes!” He ran off giggling.
Who am I to argue with [...]
just say no to white flour

Making white roll scones with the scouts after grinding all those whole grains bugged me. Went against the grain, if you will. The next day I tried a whole wheat batch from scratch which were even more divine than those scout scones. Even the kids said so. They had a nice chewy and elastic scone [...]

Wacky is the new normal.
This lovely piece of plastic surgery is compliments of Ood and Tood, who used peanut butter to reconstruct their lunchtime apple slices. Maybe that’s how Dr. Frankenstein got his start too.
In the anarchy that was scouts I forgot to snap any photos, but did get a couple immediately afterward. For the [...]
crunchy!

Crisp, never-been-washed trousers, pink erasers, wood chips, watercolors, velcro shoes, home hair cuts, drinking fountains, locker combinations, notebooks, tardy bells, the smell of vinyl… School is upon us once more.
As sure as homework, the studious students will also bring home every known virus in this community. As a precautionary measure, I’m re-resolving to [...]
more sheet

I think maybe I should learn to sew the right way after all. I made the pattern for this little dress, fully lined, but didn’t have enough wits to sew it together in the right order. Which meant it was very fiddly and involved using the seam ripper just a tad more than the actual [...]
