Getting Excited To Meet The New Girl
By number 7, you’d think I could care for newborns in my sleep. (Come to think of it, that would be a pretty sweet skill.) But the tiny phase is short and my memory even shorter so that I need a refresher every time around. It usually starts with some sort of midnight panic at… Continue reading Getting Excited To Meet The New Girl
A Blog About My Blog

My mom has had to deal with some of the pickiest eaters on the planet. Who doesn’t like chicken noodle soup? Well, me for one. Until, she developed a few little tricks for her texture sensitive oldest child. Now it is a family favorite, even for Chris since it’s onion free. Chicken Stock: I usually… Continue reading Best Chicken Noodle Soup
Will Work for Marshmallows
Christmas cards are around the corner, which means it’s time for family pictures. Once upon a time, long ago, in a far away land, when I was a photographer, I took a lot of those family pictures. Between that experience and my own family’s aversion to sitting still, I have developed a few helpful tips… Continue reading Will Work for Marshmallows
