On the left side of the sanity bell curve
I am a writer. I am a wife. I am a mom. I am a gamer. I am riddled with ADD. Order changes daily.
I’ve always loved food. The taste, texture, smell…you get the idea. Since I’ve been tall enough to reach the stove, I’ve been cooking. One thing I never did as a kid was bake bread. As a science geek, baking bread holds the most allure for me – it’s pure science…that you get to eat. What… Continue reading Taste Like Crazy Approved Batter Breads
When Cara was about 18 months and being weaned, she became a biter. For some reason, she chose to only bite me and that only lasted about a week. Though annoying and sometimes painful, that phase quickly ended and Cara hasn’t bitten anyone since. Now Ollie is a whole nother kettle of fish. I’m not… Continue reading How To Stop Toddler From Biting
Chicken nuggets are as American as apple pie and Chinese food. [I knew you wouldn’t believe me about Chinese food which is why I linked to a Ted Talk about that subject.] Just like Chinese food and apple pie, you [and your kids] probably shouldn’t be eating chicken nuggets for every meal every day of… Continue reading Perdue Whole Grain Chicken Nuggets Coupon Giveaway
My children have lost their minds.
I’ve written a “HEY! He’s born!” post and a post for his first birthday that didn’t go exactly as I had expected and now I suppose I’ll do a post for his second birthday. Might as well keep this an annual thing. This is a short post since I don’t have much to say but… Continue reading #2 for Oliver
Tenacious is one of the best words I have in my pencil box of words to describe two year old human children. No matter the consequences or how dangerous something might be, the promise of fun takes over and their mushy brains stop functioning in a normal human way. Think pleasure seeking slug…except faster and… Continue reading Toddler Attempts Brain Removal but Finds It Missing
Cara has been bugging me for the past couple of weeks to buy her a new “chapter book” and somehow we’ve never made it to the bookstore. I’m sure part of the reason [a large part] is I didn’t want to deal with Cara and Ollie running round like chickens with their heads cut off.… Continue reading Percy the Perfectly Imperfect Chicken Review and Giveaway
There comes a time in every parent’s life when you realize you have to start being judicial with the words you use around your children. It’s for their own good and for yours. Because sometimes, you’re the one who accidentally plants a kudzu seed thought in their little mushy brains and as kudzu is want to do,… Continue reading Toys Out the Window – Literally
Tucker and I are in the process of cleaning Cara and Ollie’s rooms. I was in the floor helping Tucker make Cara’s bed and as my foot scooted across the floor, ole righty was jabbed by a sand bur. If you’ve never had the misfortune of being acquainted with the little bastards, consider yourself lucky. As I… Continue reading Gripe About Being a Parent
This is the second post in my Wisk series. You can read the first one by heading over to my Pre-Review of Wisk with Stain Spectrum Technology if you’re so inclined. The goal of this post/video is to illustrate the job Wisk does on protein stains. In this case, the stain was a pre-made grass… Continue reading Wisk Protein Science Experiment
I spend many hours a day on the internet and visit maybe a hundred websites a day. For one website to impress me enough that I feel compelled to write something about said website is saying something. That makes sense…right? Obviously the thing made a heck of an impact on you. I highly suggest you… Continue reading The Wilderness Downtown
I only have a couple of minutes cause I have a bunch of stuff to write up for a gaming magazine based in the UK. They want to feature some of the stuff I’ve put on Sims 3 Gamer and so that’s what I’m a doin’. Oh. And I went and looked at a house… Continue reading Busy and House Lust
