Second week of 2010 proves to be quite eventful

Being an Auburn fan, it would have been just wrong if I hadn’t thrown up a few “hook ‘em horns” while the game was getting ready to start.

In the spirit of wishing everyone a healthy 2010, here are a few home remedies that could help you avoid the doctor and prevent a blow to your pocketbook. These remedies, potions and concoctions were taken from “The Foxfire Book” and two Web sites, earthclinic.com and folkremediesforyou.com.

May 2010 be everything that 2009 wasn’t

And so we kiss another year goodbye.

The year of double-ought nine luckily proved to be filled with more ups than downs (knocking on wood) for yours truly. I actually managed to accomplish quite a bit personally and professionally. I hope you were able to do the same.

To any confused families, my husband is not Santa

Now Raygan tells all of her friends at school that Santa is her daddy and I’m pretty sure that there are about 30 parents ready to kill us for ruining Christmas for their families.

I (kind of) braved Black Friday insanity

2009-12-03T16:14:15-06:00

Yes, after years and years of politely declining invitations to push and shove people in the name of commerce, I made up my mind to take part in the insanity. I was, in fact, going to do it out of love.

Halloween costumes have lost horror and pizazz

For the low price of about $5 per accessory, I could go as Michael Jackson. Nothing should evoke fear in the hearts of children as dressing like an accused child molester with a disfigured face who is also now dead.

Mother of two proclaims: ‘Mommy time’ doesn’t exist

oms rarely ever get free time in a day.

The longest amount of “me time” that most moms get is while bathing. I was thinking this over the other day.

There’s no such thing as ‘mommy time’ in my house

2009-10-13T09:06:46-05:00

Then it started, a banging on the door. The bang was from the bottom of the door, so it had to be a small crumb snatcher — maybe Anna, the 10-month-old.

Plenty of fun to be had, despite massive rainfall

2009-09-24T14:47:18-05:00

You had better hope that there are no holes in your roof this week.

It seems like the last couple of days have only been good for you if you’re a duck. There seems to be no end to rain, so we might as well embrace it.

Zoo trip with daughter better than I could have hoped

2009-12-08T23:15:43-06:00

The wonderful weather has given way to many outdoor events. It is perfect weather to get out and get something done. Last week, I finally got something done that I wanted to do for two years — take my oldest daughter to the zoo.
