This is one of those bread recipes where it looks like you REALLY knew what you were doing and look at the amazing baker you are! but the hardest part of this recipe is portioning out the dough and then not ripping it. You can do this. Promise. Stuff you need first: ~ 3 cups… Continue reading Braided Egg Bread Recipe
This is the last post in the Wisk Stain Spectrum series of reviews. You can find the other three here: Pre-Review of Wisk with StainSpectrum Technology, Wisk Protein Science Experiment [this is my mom’s favorite] and Wisk Carbohydrate Lab Tailgate Party Experiment. The subject for today’s demonstration was oil stains and I was sent a… Continue reading Wisk Says, “Go Away, Lip Gloss!”
After her father made her angry with some random transgression: Cara: Mom? How old is Daddy? Me: 30 Cara: Well, in that case, he gets to sit in timeout for thirty minutes. DADDY!!! SIT IN TIMEOUT FOR THIRTY MINUTES!!! After Oliver ran smack-dab into the wall as he was chasing after Sophie: [Shaking her head… Continue reading Sh*t My Daughter Says
Little know fact about me: I love rats. Several years ago, while Tucker was at boot camp for the Navy, I became very, very lonely. I had Sophie, the wonder pit bull, but I still felt a huge gaping hole in my heart where there should have been a Tucker. In my desperation to fill… Continue reading I’m a Rat Lover
When I was pregnant with Cara, I cried…a lot. Then, I got pregnant with Oliver and I was probably the angriest that I’ve ever been in my entire life. Anything and everything would set me off and though I knew that most things weren’t as big of a deal as my emotions were making them… Continue reading Hormones and the New “Mommy War”
Did you guys know that it’s Spring Break here? Yeah, we didn’t know that either. If we HAD known that very important fact then we might not have gone to the local forest’s park. We pulled up and there was NO place to park. When we looked over at the playground, we could hardly see… Continue reading The Park and My New Hair
It’s Monday but surely I’m not the only one who feels like it’s Sunday? Right? Please tell me I’m not the only one. I spent the entire weekend playing Fallout 3 and having a kick ass time of it. Ollie crawled around and was a big ole dork. He basically only seemed interested in me… Continue reading The Weekend and a Call for a Job
It’s not a secret to those who know me that I had what, at best, could be called an interesting childhood and, at worst, could be called abusive. I’ve gotten past the immature urge to blame all of my woes on my parents [usually] and Tucker and I have created our own [usually] awesome family.… Continue reading Second Chances with Cooler Toys
It wasn’t really THAT bad. Hmm…maybe it was. Actually, anytime the military is involved in “mandatory fun” you end up with much less fun than one would expect. We got to Memphis around 3 or something and stopped by Babysrus before we went to check into our hotel. Cara got a rather cute potty [never… Continue reading I Put Off Labor for That?!
I’m currently reading The Ghost Map. It’s about a major cholera outbreak in London in the the middle part of the 19th Century. How’s that for light bedtime reading? In my defense, Tucker’s reading Bitten which is about…well…bites. Spider bites. Ferret bites. Snake bites. Human bites. Pretty much any and every bite that you can… Continue reading Clean Water and Other Random Things

Well, the problem was Sitemeter and said code has been removed. SO, to all of you who have NO clue what I’m… Continue reading It Wasn’t You It Was Me
