We’re trying to make the most of what’s left of summer.
Earlier this week, we met some friends at a tire park.*
*tire park=park with a lot of recycled tires
We’ve been chasing flies around the house with a fly swatter trying to swat them enough to stun them but not kill them. Not because we have some [...]

Holy tomatoes, peppers, and canteloupe, Batman!
This is from the last 24 hours!

I found this adorable blog recently. They call themselves the Mamarazzi. I love it…maybe because I am one. They do a photo contest and the current theme is reflections. I captured this at a recent shoot and had to enter.

Half The Sky has been given one-time permission to advocate for 3 little girls in China who desperately need forever families. They need complex, ongoing surgery and care for heart conditions, and their only chance of these lifesaving treatments is a family.
So, please visit http://www.halfthesky.org/work/3littlegirls.php and pass the word along.

This week’s blog hop is supposed to make you laugh. You’ll probably only laugh at the following if you’re an engineer (or married to one). That’s probably why it’s so funny to me…I’m both
Engineers Explained

We would never be crazy enough to take three kids under 7 out to eat in a calm, quiet, diner in Lancaster County. So it was NOT my child who loudly announced that his sister should not use the restroom because “It [...]

Yes, I have a slight love affair with alliteration.
Moving on…triathlon training season officially came to end with my participation in the North East Triathlon. I did the sprint distance (750m swim, 15.5 mi bike, and 3.1 mi run). I was hoping to come in under 2 hours. I came REALLY close at 2:01:51. Kudos to [...]

I haven’t taken many pictures lately <gasp>. But don’t worry, I have plenty stored away for moments such as this.
For instance…
As a side note, these words came out of PJ’s mouth the other day, “M-o-o-o-m, all we ever do is go to the beach!” Umm…right. Just for the record, I made him go to [...]

I was surprised a couple weeks ago when I asked PJ if a car would go faster or slower down a steeper ramp and he answered “slower.” And so was born the next What to do? Wednesday post.
In the spirit of matching literature with learning activities, we read Choo Choo by Virginia Lee Burton.
Then we set [...]

It’s deals like this that make me addicted to dealfinding and couponing. You didn’t know those could be verbs, did you? It’s not my ambition to have a great-deal-finding-blog (as many do), but I’m totally into taking advantage of the deals others post. But sometimes a deal comes along that deserves blogging.
I headed to Safeway [...]
