Trapped
Pin itOK. Maybe that title is a TAD bit DRAMATIC. But. Here I am… house-bound… ish. Due to snow. I am left wondering… what to write… what to write… Do I write about the snow? See? SNOW. See? KID IN SNOW. I could go on forever about the snow. But I won’t today. That’s so… [...]

DIY: Galvanized Poultry Feeder Becomes Candy Dispenser – BOOM!
Pin itI cannot take credit for this little gem. My friend Andrea is the mastermind. I went to one of her parties one time and I won a galvanized poultry feeder and mason jar filled with Jelly Bellies! A POULTRY FEEDER? You ask… YOU *WON* A POULTRY FEEDER, JENNY?

It’s one or the other: Laundry vs. Dusting
Pin itI took a picture of my laundry room. Is this what life has come to??? PICTURES OF MY LAUNDRY ROOM?!!! But seriously – THERE’S HARDLY A LICK-O-LAUNDRY IN THERE! So yes. This is what life has come to. If there was a world record category for Cleanest My Laundry Room Has Ever Been… t’would [...]
The Confessional – Maggots
Pin itWhy can’t I let feeding maggots lie? I wasn’t going to share this. I wasn’t going to share. But the story that I want to hide, won’t let me hide it there. “…hide it THERE.” I. Don’t. Know. It rhymed. I was going for Dr. Seuss-y, and ended up Edvard Munch-y… and he was neither [...]

I am such a “nester”… Apparently, every family of 5 needs THREE 40 ounce bottles of BBQ sauce. Yeah, because my kids use [...]
Amish Friendship Bread, among other things
Pin itGoody! A list of Downey Downersons: My Amish Friendship Bread is baking for another 35 minutes… The kids wanted to help make it. I forgot until after they were asleep (thank you Lord they fell asleep). It is day 10, and I had to make it. I am so bummed the kids didn’t get [...]
04.25.08 – Fridge Friday
Pin itDue to technical difficulties, the picture I took of my fridge today cannot be posted in time to meet the “Friday” goal. Rest assured, the usual suspects are there – about 2 gallons of milk and that bottle of champagne is still chillin’. However, there are also 2 gallons of orange juice – a [...]
Seamless Toilets
Pin itOne would think that when a woman gives birth to a baby boy, not only should she come home with large gauze undies, witch hazel spray, a bundle of joy, a heart full of content, discharge papers, the Apgar score, after birth pains, and an unrealistically romantic view of mothering… she should also go [...]
