I'm living my dream life, spending my days with my three sweet kids on the rocky coast of Maine...


boy2001 is a loveable 2nd grade LEGO brick master. An average week includes a round of golf, some time at the track with a smidgeon of Nintendo DS time.

girl2004 is a Care Bears enthusiast when she's not twirling to imaginary ballet, she's gleefully giggling to pink princess daydreams or requesting baking sessions.


girl2006 is an Elmo and Little People Fanatic, she insists on wearing tights and dresses everyday, as well as reading our 'I Love You' books everyday. She shares my love for Little House on the Prairie.


My personal goals are to go back to school for my Masters, possibly in Library Studies or Biblical Languages.


Smokey is our playful pup, half chihuahua, half rat terrier he's a handsome dog, although very good with the children Smokey does have his issues!


Chexter is our roborovski hamster, over a year old he's recently started to nip a little!

last week

March 15, 2009

I’m not sure where last week flew too.  Since I’m a solo mom in effect right now it seems like there’s never a free minute to get online.

Last week I was pretty busy spring cleaning.  Dusting pictures, backs of tvs, and more… steam cleaning carpets is my least favorite thing to do but a great relief when it’s done.  I think our steamer is outdated which makes it that much harder to do.

We all missed an entire day!  how you ask? well, we’re all so tired since springing forward last week that we were late Monday for everything and then we woke up 930 (!!!) on Thursday making it unworth it to even bother so we stayed home and bummed around.

I’m determined this week is going to be better!  My goal is to eat all our meals at home this week, so here’s our tentative menu:

  • Monday: slow cooker roast beef with onion/tomato base with white rice and steamed veggies
  • Tuesday: St. Patrick’s Day brisket with potatos and carrots
  • Wednesday: carbs lovers, spaghetti w/butter and salad
  • Thursday: mashed cauliflower (I add a tiny amount of instant mashed potato flakes and cheezes) with leftover meat or split chicken
  • Friday: ??? 

The biggest expense at the grocery for us right now are French baguettes.  They’re $3 each and we go through one in a sitting, if only I could find a good baguette recipe — that would save me a fortune!
