Black Bean Burgers Recipe
by 11 Comments
Black Bean Burgers Recipe As some of you may know, our family has decided to start eating more healthy. This includes eating a lot more fruits and vegetables, eating a lot less high fructose corn syrup, avoiding white starches and for two of the family members, avoiding meat! Yes, my husband and oldest are vegetarians. Myself? I still occasionally eat meat, but for the most part... nah. This has challenged me to find new recipes that are, most … [Read more...]
Time Keeps on Slipping…
You know the song... Time Keeps on Slipping by the Steve Miller Band. Oh, so true. Things have been happening around here that remind me daily that my children are no longer babies, that time is slipping through the hourglass faster than it's supposed to.

What Goes Around….
by 1 Comment
What goes around... comes around, right? Emma & Ethan are a big 21 months apart. For quite some time now we have been telling Emma to "be nice", "don't hit", "please share", "he is going to be your best friend" etc in regards to Ethan. Of course she did as she pleased, but we oftentimes told her "Ethan is going to be bigger than you someday... be nice!". Emma is our tiny girl. All of my children are 100th %ile and larger babies, … [Read more...]
Out of the Mouths of Babes…
My dear Emma was riding along on a quick trip to Wal-Mart yesterday. From the back seat I could hear her pushing the buttons on her toy cell phone (pictured left) and listening to my pre-recorded message (I love that feature! Press the button, say something and your kids can hear you whenever they want!)... Back to my story. So, Emma shuts the cell phone and puts it in her lap. This particular play phone "rings" after a few seconds after the … [Read more...]
