• I ♥ my family.

    Happy heart day!  Valentine’s Day has been pretty okay for the T familia.  I actually woke up feeling better than I have felt all week long.  I think the baby is giving me a break; even if just for today. I took the kids to our church Valentine’s Day party…

  • Banana Dogs + My Birthday.

    Wow.  What a fantabulous birthday today has been.  Nathan crawled into bed with us at about 7 a.m. and rolled over and whispered with a big grin on his face, “Happy Birthday, Mom!”.  I smiled and squeezed him tight. For lunch the boys wanted me to fix them Banana Dogs. …

  • I could eat for a week! {and then some!}

    My 34th birthday is just a week away and today my inbox was FLOODED with all of those birthday offers and coupons that I have signed up for over the years.  I seriously could eat at a different place for the next month and still not use all the offers!…

  • Superbowl XLIII.

    So, the Cards didn't pull off the win but we still had fun.  We all made a trip to the grocery store earlier in the day where they were handing out the 3D glasses for the Superbowl commercials and both Nathan and Will were counting down the hours to be…

  • Break ‘n Bake.

    I love to bake.  That's no secret.  But, I also like hassle-free food and fun when it comes to getting the kids involved.  The other day while grocery shopping, I noticed that the Pillsbury Halloween themed cookies were on sale.   You know, the kind that you just break off then…

  • Just a good ‘ol Kansas country boy.

    For dinner tonight we had homemade cheeseburgers, fries, and corn-on-the-cob.  I knew that W loved corn, but I didn't realize he'd end up eating nearly all of the corn I bought!  The photo below is NOT doctored either….he really did eat from all of the corn on his plate!   Dinner…

  • Birthday cupcakes.

    Tonight N and I made cupcakes to take to his school tomorrow in celebration of his birthday.  His request was for pink cupcakes with blue frosting and Wall-E decorations.  Okay….got it.  We ended up making the cupcakes tonight but decided to hold off on frosting and decorating them until tomorrow…

  • Tuna with a twist.

    After my great workout today, the kids and I came back home to grab lunch before heading out for errands.  I decided to try out the recipe I'd seen on the back of the Ranch dressing bottle the other day and I must say, it was quite tasty and has…

  • Texas Rollhouse.

    That's officially what N has renamed Texas Roadhouse, where we went for dinner tonight.  He actually began calling it that over a year ago when we went like once a week!  I recently received a random $25 gift card to the place so we thought tonight would be a great…

  • Flip-flop fatality and other interesting tidbits.

    Today's been such a whirlwind of a day.  With my mom and stepdad here we've enjoyed hanging out and visiting with each other.  We headed out to the Plaza so I could get some back to school shopping done for N, who will of course need new jeans for fall. …
