The Party!!
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007Last night was the kids going away party at Chuck E. Cheese. I have to say–it was a lot of work, but so worth it. All of my kids–even my 2 year old had a great time. I should admit I was a bit SHOCKED at how many tokens 12 kids can run [...]
Chinese Chicken Salad!!
Friday, August 24th, 2007I felt so bad! Wednesday was the first day of school and life was crazy having to transport the kids 45 miles home after school. Lunch this week was minuscule and my poor boys were ravenous by the time they got into my car that a pit stop at McD’s was in order. [...]
They Are Finished!!
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007I spent this evening working with my little brother to get two domains up and running. One for me and one for my sister. To pass out a little link love–my site is Scale Hoppers and it is the .com for my current–yet totally neglected Scale Hopper Blogspot blog! It will hopefully [...]
Wiped Out!!
Saturday, August 18th, 2007I looked for a photo of an empty box of baby wipes–but alas–no one finds that an interesting pictorial subject, so you get destruction!! I have nothing inside me today–it’s all just empty! I had a very hard evening with my son–said things I shouldn’t have said–did things I shouldn’t have done–threw things [...]
Coconut Snowball Cookies!!
Friday, August 17th, 2007I have been craving sweets lately-well, not all sweets–on particular sweet–that is summery and kinda messy to make. I am of course speaking of Pineapple/Coconut/Nilla Wafer Snowballs–and they are an ooey gooey mess–but soooooo yummy! Sadly, I have packed my entire kitchen–or I would be in there making these fabulous treats right [...]
Budgeting The Kitchen!!
Thursday, August 16th, 2007Everyone has ideas on how to save money in the kitchen. With us going into a strict budget period–I really need to sit down and figure it out for our family. We are cutting out all of the junk–I know–easier said than done, but I really do plan to. We are going [...]
Finishing Up The Kitchen Packing!!
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007We just got our closing letter from our Real Estate Attorney–yep, in this town everyone has to have their hands in the cookie jar–but we are closing on the 31st of August. That is just over 2 weeks away–so I finally decided to get everything going. It still doesn’t seem real–but it’s time [...]
I Can’t Believe I Packed The Whole Thing!!
Friday, August 10th, 2007Yep, my kitchen is packed! I left out one casserole dish, a mixing bowl, and the daily flatware–plates and bowls–but everything else–gone! Well, I did leave the pots and pans–but if you think I’m cookin’ tonight–you crazy!
Instead, we are having BBQ shish kabobs! That way I can use the [...]
Veggie Tales Nativity!!
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007When my aunt was in town she mentioned having seen a Veggie Tales Nativity set. Being that I collect these things–and have for 10 years, I thought it would be the perfect addition. I love having sets that the kids can play with-and this is definitely one the kids can have!
I love that [...]
Navajo Taco!!
Tuesday, August 7th, 2007Can you say YUM!! This is what we are having for dinner tonight! It’s one of my favorite things ever, mind you–scones alone are yummy too–but for dinner-nothing beats the taco up top!
They are really easy to make, and I just use either Rhodes Bake & Serve bread dough or roll dough. [...]
Gold Medal Ribbon!!
Monday, August 6th, 2007My Aunt and Uncle went home today. It was really fun having them in town, even if it was just Saturday, Sunday and today. I would always love more time with family, but being sick–I probably wasn’t a lot of fun anyway!
We had the opportunity to go to Baskin Robbins with them, and [...]

Baby Backs VS. St. Louis Ribs!!
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007As the wife of a BBQ man–I can honestly say–St. Louis Ribs are better than Baby Backs! I know, Baby Backs are preferred by so many people–but honestly–the St. Louis’ are meatier and have a tad bit more fat on them to add just a kick of moisture and flavor!
We spent the weekend up [...]
