It’s a ‘home week’ this week…which I’m soaking up every minute, as next week begins a flurry of travel for me…NYC, Dallas, Tampa in 2 weeks.

(Slow Cooker Sweet Potato and Chicken Curry from my One Dish Dinners site.) So this week has been a little nutty. I’m in New York right now. About to head to the ‘blowdry bar’ to get my hair straightened…before I head to the set of Rachael Ray’s morning show. (Yes, you read that right.) Stop […]

Seriously y’all. I blinked and he’s already a year. The litany… 4 teeth. (With one that I didn’t notice coming in, until it was all the way in. #fourthchildproblems) 3 ear infections. 4 sinus infections. 1 ticket to the ENT. (He would catch a cold from his brothers and not be able to clear it […]

Another busy week for our family…it started Sunday, with a wild afternoon of Pinewood Derby with their Cub Scout pack, followed by more Cub Scout events and the Mexico-South Korea pre-World Cup (something like that!) soccer game tonight. Plus more to come tomorrow, Friday and into the weekend. (Who are you rooting for in the […]

January is hormonal weather month in Texas. When we lived in Ohio, the hormonal weather months were April and October. Down south, it’s January…and December, this past year too. While it’s easy to manage the “what to wear” with a quick glance at the weather channel app on my phone each morning, the planning of […]

I *think* we are almost on a first name basis with the gals at Walgreens pharmacy. I wonder if next time the red van pulls into the drive thru lane, the gal will pick up the phone and say, “Good morning Erin, which kid is it this time?” Sigh. In the past week-ish, we’ve been […]
