More from chilly Florida… CJ adores Thomas The Train (and all of the other trains). One of his tro favorite things to do is play with all of his trains. We didn’t bring any Thomas trains with us on this trip, as I didn’t want them to get lost at $5 or more apiece. I …
This is a teacup from the Teacup ride at Walt disney world. Looks harmless enough, doesn’t IT? I got off of there feeling green and woozy. That’s because the teacup had some help spinning around. Here are the two culprits, who thought that spinning it as fast as it could go was really funny, as …
It’s finally coming to an end. Timely, the snow had started to block the door.
Well, it’s almost time for the Super Bowl. It seems like almost everyone I know is either having or attending a SuperBowl party. This is my favorite type of party – one where guests enjoy a common theme in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Snacks are one of the things that can make or break …

It’s been super cold for the past few days so I’ve been wearing ear muffs. They may not be quite as fashionable as artisan jewelry but they really help keep my ears nice and warm. Yesterday my brother LB3 picked me up from work. When I walked out of the building and he saw me …
I was introduced to fresh homemade jerky about twelve years ago. My friend’s husband used to make it and she brought it in for me. Eventually I was gifted an inexpensive little round dehydrator that I could make jerky and fruit leather with. I made my own jerky for a while. The round trays were …
I was given the awesome opportunity to take place in a virtual focus group for HP.

The two models of printers are the HP Photosmart C6380 and the …

My Mom has been making Green Beans And Spaetzle for as long as I can remember. Spaetzle are little dumplings. One box like I used in this dish costs almost $4.00. I must admit, I love spaetzle by itself but it does go much further when mixed with the green beans. Plus it’s a different …
Right before we went on vacation we got a real treat. We were invited to go to the Philadelphia Zoo to attend an event sponsored by Kleenex called “Battle the Bug“. What fun! I hadn’t been there since I chaperoned a school trip for one of my brothers, and RB and the boys had never …
I had the pleasure of being invited to an event held earlier this week in New York City that Beth from Role Mommy organized. The event was to promote Kaboom Play Days and was sponsored by Kool-Aid. I haven’t been to the city since I was a teenager and I went to see a show …
