I posted yesterday here about some of the veggie purees I have been making and freezing to feed Tink as she begins to explore the world of solids. Today I thought I’d share with y’all a recipe my older kiddos love that incorporates the same carrot puree I feed their little sis. I will be…
Easter blessings
What a marvelous day we had. We bid a teary farewell to my parents as they headed home after their week-long visit (thanks again for everything, Mom and Dad!) before it was time to head to church for a morning of fun and worship. The older monkeys were thrilled to hunt eggs with all of their church…
Baby cuisine, part 1 (veggies)
Of the many stages to look forward to with my babies, I have absolutely loved the process of introducing each of them to solid foods, meticulously divvying out the various cereals, vegetables and fruits one at a time, methodically giving each child a few days with each new item to adjust to the new flavors before moving on…
A special Easter recipe – He is risen indeed!
In honor of Easter, I thought I would share a little recipe for a special Easter Morning treat my mom always made for us when I was small. These sweet rolls are such a fun way to convey the joyous message of Easter to little ones: peek inside to find an empty center to symbolize…
Picture perfect
We’ll all be sleeping well here tonight. It was picture day! Nothing fancy this time, just some little shots taken at our local Portrait Innovations. I am overall really pleased with how they captured each little monkey’s personality. (Just look at how Charlotte posed. Isn’t she a hoot?) All three looked so darling in their springtime…
Out for a bit
I had the best of intentions to keep up with my blogging efforts even during my parents’ visit this week, but I’ve decided that since these days are going to be gone in the blink of an eye and it will be summer before we’ll get together again, I’m going to take a bit of…
I survived!!
I did something this weekend I never thought humanly possible. I traveled by air. With all three of my children. All. By. Myself. My sweet Pop turned 80 years old this past October, but because life these days is just so incredibly hectic, we were only just now able to get the whole family together for…

Computer savvy
This boy. I tell you, he is really something! I need to watch it, or he is going to surpass me completely in the depth of his computer knowledge. 😉 Recently, it dawned on me that he really needed more experience negotiating computer tasks completely on his own, so I [insert huge gulp here] have…
Homemade Bird and Squirrel Feeders
Spring has sprung! Hooray! It seems like all creatures great and small are thankful for the change of seasons, and we have so enjoyed seeing our little backyard wildlife refuge return to life. With two 40-plus-foot oak trees just outside our back door, we have never been lacking of birds and squirrels to keep us…
