From the monthly archives:
Our days have been busy, with busier days ahead- if that can even be possible. Well, I’ve looked at my calendar, it is possible.
Summer is flying by way too fast.
I woke this morning to our Gracie singing “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”. I kid you not. I put a stop to that at [...]

It’s been hot around here. I chuckle to think of my Australian friends bundling up and enjoying nights around the fireplace. It just seems so far removed from where we are now, because, well, it is. Winter is still a long way off, even here in The Frozen Tundra…
One of our favorite ways to cool [...]

Combine that with my love of coleslaw, and you get this recipe-
Creamy Coleslaw
1 c Buttermilk
1 c Mayonnaise
3 Tbsp Vinegar (I’ve always used white, but I’ve been meaning to try some good apple-cider vinegar)
3 Tbsp Lemon juice (I’ve used lime when I’ve [...]

Totally two separate things.
There is no pain whatsoever involved in the ProFlowers giveaway!
There is, however, a pain in our sweet Mercy’s neck. Unusual. 3 yr olds don’t often complain of pain in the neck. 3 yr olds can often be a pain in the neck, but that is an entirely different thing…
She came downstairs complaining [...]
