I’ve been working on my son’s birth announcements for about 12 weeks now. First, there was coming up with the perfect design. I wanted something that would be cute but would also be really fun. No standard blue booties for my kid. So I researched. And researched. Until I found a completely cute idea. And detailed. And very intricate. Oh, and I have to make 40 of them. Strangely, I thought I’d have more...
Few weeks ago, John got a new iPad. He loves it.
But then the topic of what to do with his Kindle came up. He wouldn’t really need it because he could use the iPad and the Kindle app to read his books.
So I took it from a couple of weeks ago. Bear in mind, it’s only on loan and if he REALLY needs it back, I guess I COULD give it back to him.
Since getting it, I realized how much I miss reading. I’ve loaded a few favorite books: Pride and Prejudice, the first three Anne of Green Gables books, The Boleyn Inheritance, the Bible, etc. All books that I tend to read over and over. I’d love to get a couple of the Harry Potter books and To Kill A Mockingbird, but they aren’t available on Kindle.
The thing is, I really enjoying reading this format. I didn’t think I would because I LOVE books. I love the smell. I love the feel of the pages. I love the sound of the pages turning. I marvel at my abuse of paperbacks. I can look at a book and tell how much I love it by how badly the book spine is broken.
I mostly read paperbacks if you can’t tell. Hard backs are nice, but they are heavy and hard to stick in your purse. The only problem with paperbacks is that they are only good for so much abuse before you’ve got to get another copy. This little book reader however, goes neatly in the diaper bag.
So I am happy to salt my words and eat them. I still prefer physical books but this is an acceptable way to read.
This is a super quick and easy lunch. Also, is there a preschooler - or mama - that doesn't like pizza?
First, you need some sandwich thins. These are little rolls that you can get at your grocery store. There are several brands. I'm using Arnold brand.
Next, you'll need some sauce. I almost always have a jar of spaghetti sauce in my refrigerator but you could also use Alfredo sauce.
You'll also need toppings. Basically you could use almost anything leftover from your fridge. Chopped up lunch meat, left over chicken, fajita steak leftovers, whatever. Use your imagination.
I have a kid who loves pepperoni so I am using that to make a traditional pizza.
Add the cheese of your choice and voila! You're ready to pop it in the oven!
I cook these for about 12 minutes on 425 degrees. But my oven runs a little cool so adjust as necessary.

A friend the other day was listening me rant about politics and asked, “Are you a Democrat or a Republican?”I replied that I was neither.And that’s the truth.I am however a liberal.Yep, I went there. I admitted to being a liberal.But here’s the thing: I think that our government should be big enough to make sure that our water is safe to drink, that our food is safe to eat, that our borders are secure, that our interests overseas are protected.I...
I have decided I have to change my attitude. I’ve been tired and worn out and, well, just pissy for so many days now that I have got to do something else. So I have decided to focus on the positive. For example, instead of fussing that I only got 4 hours of sleep last night, I will get excited that I got those 4 hours IN A ROW and IN MY OWN BED!! Because more often than not, I sleep in the recliner downstairs and Nugget sleeps either in...
Small rant here. Friday, I spent the afternoon at the emergency room after experiencing very bad stomach pains. Turns out, I'm having a bout of diverticulitis. I was given antibiotics and pain meds and told to follow up with a gastroenterologist. I have a colonoscopy in my future. I'm also dealing with bad tendinitis in the thumb of my left hand - and of course I'm left handed so yeah it hurts to do almost everything. The trouble started about a...
