Focus – Removing Distractions
I have been thinking so much about my One Word for 2014 – Focus. My main task right now is to figure out how to take that word and turn it into an umbrella underneath which I have smaller sections, if you will, to work on. This is way harder than I thought it would…

Ten Things of Thankful AND a Monday Listicles – I Love You Edition
Every now and then, I link up with Stasha’s Monday Listicles posts. I haven’t done one in a while, but I always love reading them. When I saw this week’s lists, though, I knew that list topic was not only a great (late) Listicles post, but it would also work perfectly for a Ten Things of…

Five Friday Favorites: Secrets for a Successful Marriage
The Fab Hub and I have no business telling anybody else how to have a happy or successful marriage. We are by far not the poster children for blissfully happy marriage. That sounds awful, doesn’t it? It’s not that we’re pessimistic or that we have a lousy relationship. Perhaps it’s just that we’re a lot…

Lessons Learned From a White T-Shirt
I should know better than to wear white shirts. It doesn’t matter how careful I am to avoid anything that might sully the pristine canvas of a white t-shirt…the shirt gets it every time. This time it was yellow highlighter. Of all things, how did that manage to come in contact with my torso? Zilla…

Ten Things of Thankful – Kindergarten Edition
Am I the only one who didn’t know Kindergarten is really hard? For the parents? Kidzilla is well into the rhythm of Kindergarten, but her parents are still trying to keep up. Honestly, this is one of those topics that should come with the book that doesn’t come with the baby…

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.

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…

Life Lessons in the CSA Box
I can’t believe I ate okra. Okra. You know that weird green slimy stuff that goes in gumbo? Yeah. I ate it. And I liked it. Here it is hanging out with the rest of this week’s goodies – that weird looking purplish-red stuff near the top. Apparently okra comes in more than one color.…

What I’m Reading – An Everlasting Meal
I am late to Mama Kat’s Thursday link-up party, but this week’s writing prompts uh, prompted me to finally post about my current favorite book. For most of the summer, I have been digging into the pages of Tamar Adler’s An Everlasting Meal. I thought that I would wait to post here until I had read every…

Hidden Talents
Sometimes, people give gifts to other people that may not necessarily be the best choice for the recipient. The thought may be completely generous and well-intentioned, but sometimes the gift and the recipient are just not a match. On Easter Sunday, my aunt brought Kidzilla a cute little fabric Easter basket that contained two tiny…
