My Mommyality

What is my Mommyality? I have a tween now, Peanut is nearly 12 and a half. He has a mustache and his voice has changed. How did that happen? To be quite honest with you, I don’t know. One day he was answering the phone with a sweet angelic voice, the next day I thought […]

Update from the Mommyality Trenches

Bet you didn’t think I was ever going to show up over here again, did you? Well, I haven’t meant to ignore Mommyality, however life has totally gotten in the way. And when I say life, I’m talking about every damn germ on the planet ever trying to invade my body. Life has been hard […]

Back to Life, Back to Reality

Wordless Wednesday: Want a break?

Cooking with Kids and the Food Safety Lady!

I enjoy cooking, it is my passion.  My most memorable time in the kitchen was with my niece. I seriously adore my little Sweet Pea! She is four now, but when Sophia was three she wanted to help me with cooking.  She helped me make her Uncle Brian’s birthday cake.  She also helped her mommy […]

Halloween Blues or Insanity?

Today started the Halloween Blues in my house. The great build up to Halloween has come and gone, to be replaced with the torturous wait to Christmas, complete with that annoying bump in the way called Thanksgiving. It all starts on November 1. Kids wake up off of the sugar crash from the night before, […]
