Here’s my cupcake of the month, just in the nick of time! I was really craving chocolate, last weekend, but never got around to making the cupcakes. I had some extra time, yesterday evening, and whipped these up. I used the chocolate cupcake recipe on joyofbaking.com and a peanut butter frosting recipe from allrecipes.com.
They [...]

I have a new appreciation for rain, since buying a home. Mother Nature waters my lawn and my plants. It makes me happy.

So, that ear problem I mentioned in my last post turned out to be an infection. I lasted until Wednesday morning and then HAD to see a doctor. He said there was a small infection in my left ear. By this time there was swelling on my neck, so I needed some help in the [...]

I only gave Jason one thing for Father’s Day…
This t-shirt by the amazing Sammy Kaye. Sammy has been an internet friend for almost 10 years. She was one of the first people I gushed about Jason to. She’s a Michiginian, transplanted to Chicago, who just recently returned to the United States from a couple-month-stay in [...]

We did it! We closed on a house, yesterday. It was built in 1970 and is pretty charming, in my humble opinion. It’s needs a bit of cosmetic work (some painting, landscaping, etc), but nothing extreme. I’m now a proud home-owner. Totally debt-full.
Forgive my absence here and on Twitter. Yesterday was such a long day. [...]

Today has been all sorts of awesome. Andrew actually slept in and so I got to putter around in the morning. After breakfast, he noticed my [naked] cupcakes on the table and promptly requested one. I couldn’t deny the birthday boy a cupcake, so I split it with him. He loved it. A little bit [...]

With our big move just over the horizon, I’m left thinking of things I may or may not miss about apartment-living.
I will NOT miss sharing a room with toys. My feet are tired of stepping on Matchbox cars. My eyes are tired of seeing little plastic cities all over the place. I want a [...]

Yesterday, I made a big dent in sorting/packing/purging. The best part about it isn’t that I’m that much closer to being done. No. It’s that I’ve been able to unearth a few projects that just got lost in the shuffle. One of them was my English paper-piecing project. I originally intended this to be blanket-sized, [...]

I should probably stop calling him my baby. He’s the youngest, though, so he might be stuck with the “baby” nickname for all eternity. Or until I’m brave enough to get pregnant again (oh, the VOMIT!).
He’s growing up fast! Because I knew he’d hate the long drive and then the long ceremony, I timidly [...]

Like I mentioned at the end of last week, my cousin graduated this weekend and my mom and I took a little (~3 hours) road trip from Houston to San Antonio to celebrate.
I kissed my boys goodbye early Saturday and we headed out. The ride there was pretty uneventful. We just ran into some [...]
