Sunshine.
Any sunshine, especially during this rainy week is a beautiful thing to celebrate.
The girls and I saw the sun rise (just minutes before it disappeared into the clouds for the day) on an early trip to the store Wednesday.
And I saw the morning sun shining on this fruit box in my kitchen.
I’m linking this to [...]

Oh my. This has been a week. I seem to be having a lot of these lately! (Don’t worry, keep reading, the end is better than the beginning!)
I did not have to THROW AWAY 2 gallons of milk and multiple bags of frozen broccoli, snap peas and brussel sprouts because we FORGOT to unload them from [...]

I’m always looking for new recipes that are yummy AND healthy. Especially if they are sweet. And gluten free – as I find I feel better the less wheat that I eat.
So here’s one the girls and I made yesterday and I’m linking it to share at Tasty Tuesday by Jen at Balancing Beauty and [...]

To understand my amusement with the following conversation, you have to know two things: 1) Kate has NEVER refused sausage in any form. She’ll eat as much as I’ll give her. 2) Kate rarely volunteers information about preschool and usually won’t answer questions either.
Kate and I are eating lunch yesterday.
Kate: I had breakfast on a [...]

Megan is two.
She finds lots of things on the floor. She only puts things she actually thinks are food into her mouth anymore. I don’t worry about it too much.
Although there was a day a while back that she told me she’d found (and eaten) a raisin. But her tongue was blue. Hmm. Maybe it [...]

We went out to eat on Thursday at a Mexican restaurant about 20 minutes away. When we sat down, they brought a basket of chips and salsa for dipping. After giving each of the girls a chip, Josh and I start in them ourselves, enjoying the salsa.
Now, Kate is currently convinced she doesn’t like anything [...]

Snips and snails and puppy-dog tails,
That’s what little boys are made of.
Sugar and spice and everything nice,
That’s what little girls are made of.
Sooo, what do no-bake cookies and frozen grapes make? Because those are my two favorite foods right now!
Did you know that poem actually has lots of verses? Describing everyone: [...]

A friend gave us some fresh sweet corn. So the girls helped me husk it!
Kate actually got down to the corn. (Megan kept at it, but asked for help.)
Then Mama cooked it and we all ate!
Posted in Kate, Megan, food, potty training on April 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Tonight just before bed Kate used the potty (which earns her a “special treat” – anything from M&Ms to suckers to freezy pops to Cheetos) and asked for a special treat. So I asked what she wanted and listed a few to choose from.
After thinking a moment, she said, “A poptart for a special treat.” [...]
