Christmas is over and this house is full of fever. Cabin fever. The kids are still home from school, and though they have a host of new toys, games, and water guns (thanks, Aunt Lindsey), they really seem to most enjoy harassing each other. And me. Yesterday when Andrew’s belligerent little butt got sent to …
**********UPDATE 1/30/2013: First I’d like to say a great big huge THANK YOU for reading Sugar Dish Me; the response on this post has been great!! Second… many of you have left comments and sent emails with questions about this recipe, and while I have addressed those issues specifically to each individual, I wrote an …
Yep. That song. Don’t pretend like you don’t know it. Cause you do. And it is stuck in my head since yesterday when my sister Lindsey repeated the refrain half a dozen times.

Weekends are the best time for an adventure. At least once a month Chad and I like to put the boys in the car and pick a weird family day destination. Sometimes we go to flea markets on our weekend adventures. For some reason my boys really get a kick out of a flea market. …
