The Minions are coming, the Minions are coming!

Pin itOnce upon a time (May 2011) there was a family that went to a land far, far away. Well, far away to them. Seattle to FLA = far. And sunny. Heaven bless my fair-skinned, blue-eyed (OK, one has green eyes) Northwest vampires babes. The sunshine throws their cloud-covered eyes into a tailspin. Speaking of [...]

The Confessional: This is how I prepare to pay the piper.

Pin itIt happens every year. I dread this time of year all. year. long. Everytime I drive by one of those guys wearing a Statue of Libery costume, flippin’ a “We do your taxes so you don’t have to” sign… my stomach churns and I get chest pains. Don’t we wish I was exaggerating. Chest [...]

Some things just make me laugh…

Pin itLike that one time at the county fair. When I saw this: A cats AND an archery barn. I WONDER WHAT HAPPENS IN THERE. —— I use the Bloom app to send me reminders throughout my day. I get a reminder to drink a glass of water… a reminder to pause and be grateful. [...]

The WSU Kitsap Small Farms Expo, y’all!

Mom? Why do you say “Yes” so much?

Pin itNow, my daughter didn’t ask me that because I say YES to HER so much. We were eating dinner and I was, I guess, blathering about the long list of things and tasks and obligations. {YAWNERS} I totally just wrote, “yawners”. Heh. Aaaanywho. In response to my mid-level belly aching, my daughter asked, “Mom? [...]

Go Green With the eBay Green Team & a chance to win a $1000 eBay gift card!

Pin itI know, I know… “going green” is so trendy. But really, we should all be doing what we can to reduce, reuse and recycle. I do a pretty good job of recycling. I even compost! Well, for 2 weeks now! In fact, the eBay folks even posted a composting FAQ that I have found [...]
