Desserts are a funny thing in our house. Though I grew up without desserts in my life thanks to a mom who didn’t really believe in snack foods, it’s odd that I’m the sort of mom who likes to let the kids partake in the occasional baked good or pudding. Or maybe it’s just my …
Over the last week, I have been working with Dexter, who just turned six, on his reading skills. We have this great set of Lego Star Wars phonics books that we bought him, and he has been going through them, sounding out each sight word beautifully. But I do find that it’s sometimes hard to …

It’s September! And you know that means that my mind has left summer far behind and is already looking forward to jumping in leaf piles, wearing layers and driving up into the mountains to look for the first signs of snowfall. There’s something about this month that just screams out to me, and I live …
7up Salad is a delicious lime jello molded dessert that is traditionally served at holidays and has a tropical flavor due to the pineapple, cherry and lime flavors.
As I said in my earlier post, I have been going “No Poo” for about twelve days now, and today I decided to give my hair a little treat by using a brick of Lush “Caca Rouge” henna on it. I thought it would be a good thing to do a video blog so you …
