Focus on Small Surprises
Every now and then, just when you think you’ve figured out a few things about how the world works, it throws you a curve ball. I got several this week…and the week has barely begun. Perhaps trivial, these are my recent head-scratcher moments.

Ten Things of Thankful – Interesting and Mildly Entertaining Edition
I missed doing the Ten Things of Thankful linkup last week. It’s not that I wasn’t thankful for anything…it just…never happened. Sometimes I really think in the midst of the heaviness of life, it’s too easy to forget about those little lighter moments that slip in between the big ones. So this week I have a…

Friday Favorites – Family Movie Night Edition (Dinner Included!)
The Disney Channel – a parent’s dream and nightmare all rolled into one. Want to render your kid absolutely still and silent for a while? Turn on Disney, Jr. for an hour or so. Then, try in vain to pry your child’s eyes away from the screen. It just sucks them in and turns them…

Scary New Cat
It’s officially fall. And it’s October. Kidzilla has been dying to get out the fall decorations this week and we are now thick in the process of placing pumpkins, leaves, and other sundry items around the house. The minute the calendar turned to October, Zilla begged to get out Halloween items already. OK, fine. But I…

When All Else Fails, Resort to Cats or Food
I’m in the middle of about nineteen things this week. I have a few great things to share, but none really requiring an entire post. And so, in the interest of efficiency, I offer you just a few quick items of interest. First, this may just be my new favorite recipe ever.

Thoreau-ing
On the day before the first day of fall, I, the Fab Hub, and our Kidzilla headed to our favorite (OK really our only) hiking spot at a wildlife sanctuary not too far from us. Now that the weather is actually feeling a bit like fall, we’ll spend a lot more time here watching the seasons…

Soup of the Week – Double Veggie Combos
It is fall, friends! If it weren’t for the calendar, I’d still be sure of the change in season. My Mom made stew this weekend and very likely threw open the windows all over the house to let the fall breezes blow through. And that is as sure a sign of fall as anything. Aside from…

Ten Things of Thankful – Better Late Than Never (Again)
Two weeks ago, I got my TToT in just under the wire. One week ago, I thought about my TToT list a lot, but never actually wrote it. So I had to ride the wave of thankful happiness all this week. This week, here I am again, right up at the edge of the weekend,…

He Cooks! – Smoothie Edition
The Fab Hub sends me off to school every day with a smoothie. One day this week, my smoothie smelled horrendous. Like rotten eggs horrendous. It was so bad I couldn’t get it close enough to my face to drink it. I offered it to the BFF to smell, just in case I was imagining…

Clean Out the Pantry Week
Well, we did it. We managed to get through a busy week creating meals from what we had on hand. This is a fun game for me. I know, I know…get a life, right? Honestly, it gave me a chance to stretch my kitchen brain a little and clean out a few odds and ends…
