Much Ado About Hair Coloring and Artisan Bread

I’m joining in on The Other Mama’s blog carnival, Friday Favorites. And so I’m sharing a few of my favorite things.
#1) Clairol Perfect 10 Hair Color.  Because paying $80 for a hair color job (on long hair) and then having roots start to show within two weeks does not cut it, folks. I can get by on five [...]

Star Trek Doesn’t Disappoint

So Hubby and I just got back from seeing Star Trek…without the girls (shock and awe).  I know, it is surprising that we actually went out by ourselves for a change.  Both girls were out of town on separate school trips, different locations. 
While people were getting seated, I looked around to check out the crowd.  [...]

Blogging the Homework Blues

Last night I attempted to write a post while my girls were sitting at the kitchen table doing homework.  It was getting past 10:00 at night and they were still going strong; well, sort of.  They were attempting to work but they kept having these random conversations: how many texts and/or missed calls they had; [...]

Sharing Some Green and a Blog Party

Yippeeee!  Her blogging carnival hasn’t even started yet, and already I’m a winner!  JanMary is hosting a St. Patty’s Day carnival, complete with giveaways. Be sure and head over there to get the details. Here’s a hint of what you can expect from my place: green, green and more green.

And also, later in the week, there’s [...]

Bedroom Bliss Contest and More

Okay, so you know, I’m a sucker for contests. Over at SITS (The Secret is in the Sauce), they’re having a Bedroom Bliss giveaway: a 500 count sheet set, two memory foam pillows a Target gift card and a few other delightful things. Head on over to their site to check it out. And if you [...]

What I Learned This Week: Contentment

I’m playing along with Musings of Housewife’s Blog Carnival and talking about what I learned this week. Why don’t you join in? 
What I learned this week snuck up on me as a quiet epiphany. It wasn’t something I sought out. In fact, it came to me somewhere in between cleaning the upstairs bathroom and rearranging some overflowing kitchen cabinets:  I was content.
Where [...]

Looking for a Few Good Cooks

Okay, so if my blog is a little quiet lately, it’s because I’m working on some important stuff over here, like gathering recipes for a cookbook the school is putting together for a fundraiser. Someone asked me about my contribution the other day. I told her I didn’t have any original recipes. She seemed surprised!

I [...]

My Week in Pictures

Well, seeing as others have been taking the photo challenge first posted at PhotoJoJo, and other bloggers have followed suit; I’ve decided to try the challenge myself - a photo a day for 365 days.  I’m already off to a late start, but I’m trying. I thought it best to post them on Sundays, sort [...]

Works-for-Me Wednesday: Ready for Tea?

 

On a recent Sunday morning, I came downstairs and headed for the coffee pot.  Hubby had been up since the wee hours due to jetlag, so I was expecting there to be a some fresh brew already made.  Instead, I see this carafe sitting on the counter; a carafe I had maybe used twice in 21 years of marriage.  [...]
