I Make Soap: July 2014
http://skippymom.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Just a Skippy kind of Girl Living in a Loopy kind of World. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Sometimes I look at the food in my fridge and whine [to myself, like a 4 year old] "But I don't want to make that! Meaning the dish I had planned when I bought that meat, cheese or veggie. I have a heckuva' lot of fresh veggies from my beloved FIL's garden. And? I don't want to make that. Whatever that may be. heehee. I decided to make the saute and use that in lieu of the spinach and white sauce I use in the spinach one.

http://skippymom.blogspot.com/2014/11/day-full-o-bargains.html
Just a Skippy kind of Girl Living in a Loopy kind of World. Monday, November 24, 2014. Day Full O' Bargains. Something is in the air Tadpoles. I don't know what it is. . .but Sunday was epic! Two things well known about me are that I don't like any type of shopping except the grocery kind and I LOVE a bargain. Yesterday was so cool. This makes me happy. So, so happy. Our Thanksgiving menu consists of the following [keep in mind everything. Green beans with ham. I didn't write that list to bore you or eve...

I Make Soap: October 2014
http://skippymom.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Just a Skippy kind of Girl Living in a Loopy kind of World. Thursday, October 30, 2014. Nothing earth shattering mind you - just the run of the mill, hum drum, "Oh look what Skip can do." kind of stuff. Having a daughter in college, one in her senior year of HS and paying out over $3,000 a month in insurance and medication fees money is tight. Damn tight. And in the words of Mother Hubbard - Skippy's cupboards were bare. Cobweb collecting kind of bare. Yeah, that feeling. Once the hamburger was browned I...

I Make Soap: August 2014
http://skippymom.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Just a Skippy kind of Girl Living in a Loopy kind of World. Friday, August 29, 2014. What Do You Say? When you discover, by accident, that your daughter shared this with a friend:. My Mom is dying from congestive heart failure and liver disease. I don't know how I will live without her.". I know the kids know. I know. But what do you say? How do you assuage their fear? And then I look at Evie Lou and remember. She hasn't been given the same amount of time with me, and she is truly scared. What do I say?

I Make Soap: May 2015
http://skippymom.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Just a Skippy kind of Girl Living in a Loopy kind of World. Thursday, May 28, 2015. As my mom used to say. It's what she called my brother and me when we used to get into mischief. Well y'all know me. I am a big dog kind of girl. Dachshunds are the exception, hence Spot the Dot, but my preference is to have big dogs. My favorite breed is the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. And that explains my little pony, Scoobers and his predecessor, my beloved Rudy. And he is a kick! Was a good fit. They gave us Bentley...

I Make Soap: Whatcha' Gonna Do?
http://skippymom.blogspot.com/2014/12/whatcha-gonna-do.html
Just a Skippy kind of Girl Living in a Loopy kind of World. Wednesday, December 3, 2014. When I get sad. . .not depressed, mind you, just heart wrenchingly sad. You see. . . when something happens that affects someone I love and I am powerless to do anything to help the person [by virtue of distance and health] I get sad. And I do three things. Always. I ugly cry. Because my heart is breaking for a loved one and it makes my heart ache for them. And we all know what an ugly cry is. Steven came home last n...

I Make Soap: Happy Birthday My Baby
http://skippymom.blogspot.com/2010/03/happy-birthday-my-baby.html
Just a Skippy kind of Girl Living in a Loopy kind of World. Wednesday, March 3, 2010. Happy Birthday My Baby. The little beauty in the pic' above is my sixth child. She is actually the first child I ever gave birth to and it was 22 years ago on March 4th. Her name is Natalie Elizabeth and I was blessed with her life and presence for a mere 3 days. I call her my sixth because she always seems to be counted [by others] last, instead of first. Currently In the Pond. Steven [Pooldad] and Janine [Skippy].

I Make Soap: How Do I Say This
http://skippymom.blogspot.com/2014/12/how-do-i-say-this.html
Just a Skippy kind of Girl Living in a Loopy kind of World. Friday, December 19, 2014. How Do I Say This. I don't blog so much, but I do read and comment on your blogs. At least I try. Mostly I stay on FB, because I find it is less taxing and easier on my hands and my brain fog. I do keep up. With you all, even if I don't say anything in comments. Some of us have been friends for over a decade. Wow. That's a long time, isn't it? Life and death have an awful way of sneaking up on us. Doesn't it? My last p...

Just a Skippy kind of Girl Living in a Loopy kind of World. Wednesday, February 11, 2015. It's My Biannual "I'm Not Dead Yet" Post. If you are on FB or talk to me via email - most of you know I'm still alive and kicking - but not everyone does that, and I truly understand - but thought I better get something up here and let you all know I am thinking of you. 'Cause I am Tadpoles - I most certainly am. If it wasn't for the generosity of a very loving Tadpole, Bizzy. We would have had no hope of a Christma...
