Shuffling through life, wondering if we're playing with a full deck. Monday, December 5, 2011. Oh, the things we come out of blog retirement for, right? I just thought this was fun. I've been playing around with wrapping gifts with things from around the house. Found some fun ideas online, so I tried two with some gifts I needed to wrap. I'm sure I'll have plenty more practice time this December! Here's a grocery bag for wrapping, with two different colors of yarn woven together. Easy peasy! I'm a stay a...

How does YOUR garden grow?: November 2013
http://localnewengland.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
How does YOUR garden grow? Monday, November 18, 2013. Mom's Split Pea Soup. Don't have a picture.I'm posting this for my friend over at The Greening of Westford. It's a really delicious split pea soup, perfect for those long lazy weekend days. Total cooking time is 4 hours, but total working time is about 15 minutes, so it's really an easy soup to make when you're going to be around to stir every once in a while. 1 ham hock (or any ham is fine, though the bone in the ham hock really adds flavor). Add car...

Shuffling through life, wondering if we're playing with a full deck. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. So here's my 2013 list of books. Highlighted books I would recommend (some to anyone, some to just fans of the genre). Let's Pretend This Never Happened. The Chronicles of Kazam #1) by Jasper Fforde. I like Jasper Fforde. I find his books smart, in a silly way. Interesting but not too heavy. Fun. This was no exception. By Abraham Verghese. Strong writing, strong story. Would recommend widely. Down a Lost Road...

Shuffling through life, wondering if we're playing with a full deck. Thursday, April 28, 2011. My new favorite way to make eggs. We were playing a game with the kids (Quelf Jr- awesome game! And one of the questions B-man pulled was to name a type of food you have no idea how to make. He answered "eggs", which seemed to be a good answer as I'm not sure I've ever had him help me make eggs. There was a pause while all our brains had to catch up with his. Sunday, April 3, 2011. I never win anything! Holds s...

What A Card: The Upside to Disorganization

Shuffling through life, wondering if we're playing with a full deck. Thursday, April 12, 2012. The Upside to Disorganization. So, a few weeks ago*, a friend and I went out to Friendly's with our kids. She has three kids as well, so we were two adults with six kids, ages 6, 6, 6, 4, 2, and 2. The kids weren't being bad, exactly. Just a little rowdy. About what you'd expect from 6 kids about to get ice cream. Have trouble cleaning your house? My house is a mess! Are you totally disorganized? Case in point:...

I'm not sure where we picked it up- I'm sure at a used book sale somewhere, but we have a Thomas the Tank Engine Book titled "The Sad Story of Henry". You won't believe it. Seriously, just guess. Okay, here's the actual text from the last page of the story:. They took up the old rails, built a wall in front of him, and cut a new tunnel. But I think he deserved it, don't you? The Balanc...

Shuffling through life, wondering if we're playing with a full deck. Friday, February 25, 2011. But that's how old he is! TK got Z-man dressed this morning. When I saw Z-man, I said, "Wow, that shirt is really small! The arms of the shirt were nearly up to his elbows and it was straining across his tummy. I mean, it was a REALLY small shirt. I know," said TK. "But I checked, and it's size 18 months.". I'm just so tickled! Tuesday, February 8, 2011. N-man's sense of humor. Do you get it? But just don't ex...
