Veggies, Here We Come! #DigIn

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Home Depot. I’m still amazed that our seeds are growing. From the first day I found out that I’d be working with The Home Depot on this gardening project I’ve thought, “Gawd, I hope I don’t screw up these plants.” My fear was that I’d write this wrap-up and have nothing but wilted, browning seedlings to show. But not only are the seedlings growing, they seem to be growing very strongly! When we started to see the seeds sprouting, Hubs explained to our son the idea of germination, in kid-scientific terms. Little B listened...

The One Where I Have a Mental Breakdown, Promote Religion, & Then Get You Free Stuff

There are so many areas to explore, to learn more about, and ultimately, to share with all of you. Not a day goes by when I don’t think, “Oooh! I’ll have to share that on my site!” Or, “Oooh!...

Confessions of a Former Food Snob: I Owe Some Apologies

My closest friends and family will tell you I’m a horrible sympathizer; I can’t put myself in someone’s place unless I’ve been there myself. For instance, I couldn’t gently smile at parents of unruly toddlers until I HAD ONE. I had trouble understanding why anyone would willingly be a stay-at-home parent until I ENDED UP THERE. And I didn’t comprehend what life is like for a family living on a less-than-average* income until we WERE LIVING IT. So much of what I’ve written on this blog (or said out loud to people) revolved around food choices,...
