We have had a bit of a problem over the summer with the boys fighting in the van. Anytime we drive anywhere, there is a fight. We have rearranged seats, had consequences, and I have pulled over more times than I care to remember. So when the first two mornings back to school consisted of […]
My news interview with WCAX about my articles for Kids VT is up! Check it out here: WCAX.COM Local Vermont News, Weather and Sports- My latest post that I referred to is here: In The Future I also posted there today about what happened BEFORE the interview. It’s probably not what you think. On The […]
This year I decided to give all local products for Christmas gifts. It’s been really fun to shop around and put the baskets together. I found some really cute wine totes on clearance at The Christmas Tree Shop that I stocked up on months ago. Now that Christmas time is here, I have been putting them to […]
The holidays are almost here, making it the time of year where we give thanks. One group in particular, Donate Life Vermont, is giving thanks to registered organ and tissue donors in Vermont with an exclusive Black Friday deal. It’s just their way of saying “Thanks for making the decision to give the gift of […]
When we first toured this house my biggest concern were the bathtubs. They were in such horrid shape! I wasn’t sure if they could be saved and I knew there was no money in our budget to replace them. New bathtubs are expensive, you guys! I had to decide if I was going to be […]

I found a recipe for Toffee Crunch Cupcakes on Pinterest and I was just dying for a chance to try them. A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to make them for a lunch with friends but while living in a hotel baking is a bit problematic. For instance, I had one bowl […]
I feel like my last few posts have all been excuses about why I haven’t been blogging. I was in a tornado. I was in Florida. I was lazy. I don’t have a link to prove that one. I just was. This time? I was dying of the stomach flu. We are feeling better today. […]
I told you guys I was going to visit my family in Indiana. Well, that vacation turned out to be more than we bargained for! While we were there my Mom’s town, Henryville, was hit by an EF4 tornado. We heard that some serious storms were coming our way and since my Mom doesn’t have […]
I haven’t posted much about my love of scrapbooking here because I haven’t had the space to do much while living in this tiny apartment. I’m totally addicted to it! Once I start, I can’t stop. Just ask my husband. He calls scrapbooking an occult. Dramatic much, Honey?? I was super excited to hear about […]
