I’ve “broken” my current site even more, by working on the new layout… so much for the “theme test drive” plugin. Sidebars are screwed up, thumbnails are gone, who knows what else? I’m sorry it looks SO BAD. I’m having a few issues with the new theme but hopefully will get them worked out shortly….

Oops
So I’ve been getting ready to update my site significantly. It will be FAR easier to find recipes you’re looking for, craft projects, posts about Zora, gDiaper posts, or whatever strikes your fancy. Most of this has been crazy behind the scenes stuff you probably haven’t even noticed. But today I did something you probably…
So Big, So Small
I know my little girl is a baby, but sometimes when I look into her face, I see a KID. I wonder what she thinks about, what she dreams about… I wonder about the things that she notices, what patterns she’s recognizing in the world around her, and what’s brand new and surprising to her….
No Recipe Shrimp–NaBloPoMo
I thought these were decently good, but my husband said they weren’t good enough. So you don’t get the recipe. And this is my post for the day. I’m doing NaBloPoMo again, where you post every day in November. Well, sometimes there isn’t a whole lot to say. Or things you want to say but…
Low-Sugar Chocolate Fudge
Most fudge has scads and scads of sugar – usually multiple kinds: confectioner’s sugar, evaporated milk, milk chocolate, brown sugar, granulated sugar… most recipes have at least 2 types. Here’s a refreshingly simple recipe for fudge that only has a bit of honey, instead of tons of sugar. I’ve adapted it from the recipe here….
Twice Baked Potatoes & Potato Skins – Make & Freeze
I think this is the last “make and freeze” recipe I had saved up from when I was pregnant. We got a huge bag of potatoes and I did various things with them, so they’d be available for quick meals, sides, or snacks when I was going to be occupied with a newborn and too…
Little Pat Pat–Review and Giveaway
What Is It? As a congratulations for the birth of my daughter, Patty of Little Pat Pat sent me some burp cloths and a bib that she lovingly made and customized just for us. My Thoughts: First of all, SO CUTE. We haven’t used the bib yet (or any bib at all) but the burp…
Rockabye Baby! – Review and Giveaway
What Is It? Rockabye baby music takes favorite adult albums and kid-ifies them, changing them into lullabies. I suppose the theory is that you can listen to “kid music” but not go crazy because you’ll be singing your favorites in your head while you listen. I received the Pearl Jam album to review. In the…
Review – Glidden Paint Samples
This post brought to you by Glidden. All opinions are 100% mine. What Is It? Glidden Paint has these little cute bottles of tester paint, with a brush built into the lid (like nail polish brushes are). Each one lets you paint up to 3 square feet, so you can buy a few to test…
HALO Sleep Sack – Review and Giveaway
What Is It? October is national SIDS awareness month, so I had the opportunity to review the HALO SleepSack Swaddle. It is a roomy sleep sack that you zip your baby into, with an optional swaddling band to wrap and velcro around the baby’s arms. HALO wants you to know that putting babies to sleep…
Review and Giveaway – Sanük Footwear
What Is It? I got to try out Sanük Footwear’s June Bug in brown. The company’s name, Sanük, is the Thai word for “fun” and they try to keep a light attitude in their business. They started out making sandals out of inner tubes and carpet! Now they make surfer shoes and other simple footwear…
Roasted Okra and Onions
Since Okra has been in season and in abundance at our farmer’s market, we’ve been eating it almost every week lately. And this way of making it is so easy and delicious (and NOT slimy – which I know you’ll appreciate if you’re like me and hate slimy okra) that this is how we’ve prepared…
