• The slow fast lane
  On my way to pick up the kids I thought I’d stop by the store and pick up a few ingredients for dinner. In and out. 10 minutes tops. I’ll just swing by this Walmart, it’s right on my way. Even though I hate this particular Walmart, it’s on my way home. Who was I [...]
  
  
• Worry less. Play more.
  I went to my parent’s house Saturday night for a game night. It was an impromptu game night. Earlier in the week, I planned a card night with a couple of my sisters. Saturday afternoon she said, “we should call Mom and see if she wants to play cards with us!” So, after the kids [...]
  
  
• Gimme the triple bypass with a side of lard fries
  Have you heard about Heart Attack Grill? It’s a burger joint in Las Vagas with some very interesting marketing. I mean, if you couldn’t tell, with a name like that.

For Maya I knew I wanted her to be holding a sucker, because, well, she loves suckers! This was [...]
  
  
• Chocolate Fluffernutter Cupcakes
  I’m not really sure what a fluffernutter is, but it seems like it would have something to do with marshmallows and peanut butter. Right? Anyway, I had big plans for these cupcakes… I wanted to do some sort of cream filling, a peanut butter cream filling. But, at 8:00 PM, when I started, I didn’t [...]
  
  
• You want me to put what on my baby’s butt?
  So, Maddox caught a stomach bug last week. Sunday morning I changed 4 dirty diapers before breakfast and 3 after. These were all before 7:30 AM. It wasn’t pretty. By Wednesday his poor little tush was on fire. He would scream as soon as the diaper would come off. Kicking legs, flailing arms, crocodile tears, [...]
