Norma Kitty Jean and I were at odds for most of the day yesterday. She chased half a roll of toilet paper all over my bathroom. She decided that she really hates my bear claw slippers and tried to attack my feet every time I walked through the house, which mostly resulted in me tripping …
I think I could eat Mexican food everyday. Tacos in particular. I seriously never get sick of them. Ever. Several years back I worked for the local cable company. I was in sales. I had to wear this horribly-un-flattering-on-all-human-beings blue golf shirt that was made out of some kind of thermally insulated electric blanket kinda …
I should probably warn you ahead of time that this post may not be for the faint of heart. Sometime earlier this summer my sweetheart developed a passion for insanely hot peppers.
This morning, a little after 4 a.m., my eyes fluttered open because I heard a noise. Actually, this is the third time this week that a late night noise has pulled me from my already sporadic slumber. The first two times were weird; once I woke up in a panic and scrambled off the bed …
It is spring break in our neck of the North Carolina woods which for me means days and days of hungry little boys underfoot. So far I have to say that they’ve been pretty good.

It’s been a fruitless search. My wishlist is 100 miles long, but at this juncture, I cannot justify the expense. The …
This post is olllllld. From February 2012. So it got a makeover in August 2017. Updated photos, some new recipe notes and links to relevant things, but the same basic, totally tasty recipe. Enjoy! This week marked the beginning of spring soccer for my little guy. My professional mama opinion is that he is in …
I am cold. I am wrapped up in two sweaters, leggings, sweatpants and a scarf while I write this. Oh and my slippers that look like bear claws. Yes I live in the south and it’s probably not as cold as I think, and yes I do realize that people in the northeast are buried …
