I had only been married for a
year when we moved out of state, away from my family. Being a
young couple, we didn't have much money, so travelling back to
visit my family for Thanksgiving was not a possibility. For
the first time, we spent Thanksgiving with my husband's
extended… Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (4) | Blog

Yesterday I went to the bank
to get checks to pay for my son's soccer uniform and tournament
fees (he plays club soccer.) The check for the uniform was
$339 and the check for the next 2 tournaments was for $200.
Jonathan the teller said, "Wow! That's a lot of
money for… Read More »

Here in Arizona, aside from
hot summers and mild winters, we have NOTORIOUSLY hard water.
That basically means that our water has a high mineral
content. The hard water is full of calcium, magnesium
sulfates, and chlorides. They have a tendency to build up in
the water faucets… Read More »

Autumn is prime
pomegranate season. We all know their health
benefits (full of antioxidants, vitamins C and B5, and potassium)
and that we should be eating. Compared to say, an apple or an
orange, eating a pomegranate can seem intimidating. You

I grew up eating cakes
made from cake mixes, and I still love them. But when I want
to make something special, I take a little more time to make my
cakes from scratch. It's not difficult, it just takes a
little more work. Your homemade cake will taste great, and
you get to… Read More »

Now that Halloween is over,
we can pack up the ghosts and goblins and bring out the
turkeys. My kids love to do crafts. Since they're
young, I like to keep it simple enough to keep them interested from
start to finish. Keeping it age appropriate will ensure that
the kids will… Read More »

With days getting cooler, a
bubbling pot of chili is a great meal that the entire family will
enjoy. I grew up in Oklahoma, so my chili preferences tend
towards a Texas red style, as opposed to the slightly sweet version
from the midwest. My take on chili includes ground beef,
veggies,… Read More »

As a mom of four, I'm
used to living in zoo. When my mother calls me on the phone,
she hears children yelling, playing, crying, and laughing, and
that's just a typical afternoon. Needless to say, I'm
used to the noise. Children are noisy, period. This
afternoon I… Read More »

I still have little kids, and
my husband and I both like to take the kids out
trick-or-treating. Because of this, I never do anything more
than put candy in a big bowl on my porch and hope someone
doesn't run off with the whole thing. Some neighbors
surprise me with their creativity… Read More »
